XLA don't have the POP and SFB next year. The contract has been signed but recent events have prompted XL to pull out of long haul routes altogether from next year. Apparently all the 763 aircraft will be MAn/LGW based and will do the short haul routes freeing up the 2 X -800 for NCL.
This is very new news from a first hand source within the airline. They seem to have acknowledged the problems they have in long haul which is surely a good thing for the long suffering pax. TCX are receiving another A330 in November which may do the routes or they are also in discussion with Monarch about a 3 day rotation at NCL
