Latest word at Palmair / Bath Travel is that indeed Viking / Tor Air have been operating for the last month with Swedish based crews using a mix match of aircraft Boeing 737 400 and MD 83
This will come to an end very soon and hopefully in time for the summer season in May when Astraeus will come on board ! This also reflects on the Palmair web site with AEU flight numbers now , previously VIK numbers
It was originally intended to be Viking but for some reason a last minute change will see Astraeus operate a based 737 in Palmair colours ( White with red titles on tail and fuselage )
Now comes the next bit ..... the aircraft is a 737 500 series ex British Airways which is somewhere in the UK at the moment . The cabin crew are being converted to the 500 series aircraft having already operated with Jet 2 300 series this winter
This is according to Bath Travel who have a memo out to there staff and to pass on to customers when booking a holiday which we have just done
Any comments about the 737 500 do you think this is correct ?
