Lufthansa/May
1/5/2011 and quite a low key start to the summer IT's. The third Thomas Cook has arrived making six based 757's with the three Thomson ones.
This year it appears a 4th Thomson 757 will arrive in the third week in May instead of the high density 763. The long-haul 763 operates Monday to Thursday and Wednesday it goes to PFO!
This will make 4 x 757's, 4/7 763 and 1 x 73H for Thomson down on 2010.
Luckily the Olympic/Monarch spat has resulted in Monarch keeping their 2010
capacity with a few adjustments but there is the addition of the Skywings A320 from 15/5/2011 for Olympic Holidays operating initially 7 flights a week up to 13 in July. This should cover the Thomson seat losses.
Lufthansa
Quite a month ahead and despite no increase in the number of destinations or flights, seat wise is up massively.
From tonight the night-stop Munich is an Augsburg 195 on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. However by 21/5/2011 all three Munich services will be 116 seat Cityline 195's. Currently it is 2 x 86 seat CR9's and one 116 seat 195.
Frankfurt from 7/5/2011 changes from the A319 to the A320 on the three BMI operated services.
Dusseldorf not to be left out shows plenty of 735's upgraded from the CR9.
This is mainly Monday & Tuesday morning and Wednesday-Friday evenings
with one or two exceptions.
Last Mahan Air Sunday service operated today (not sure if permanent) and it goes to weekly on a Thursday only.
