Pushing their luck?
Quite staggered what this airline has got up to in the last two days at BHX.
The A320 operated in late from JSI/SKG last night and they took the opportunity to cancel the outbound Corfu (it might have had a low load or empty) with the inbound operating to Gatwick in the early hours (airline not known) and the passengers were coached to BHX.
Was the A320 tech - oh no it departed in the early hours on the delayed Friday morning Viking Hellas service to Heraklion and came back over 24 hours late this morning to operate the usual Saturday BHX-LCA (although a couple of hours late).
However rather than returning to BHX the aircraft did the delayed Friday Viking Hellas service LCA-BFS-LCA and should be sitting on the BFS tarmac now as I type, 24 hours late.
Obviously decided to make a few quid subbing for Viking or some might say doing a favour for Olympic Holidays - whatever quite a carry on.
LCA-BHX due 20.00 tonight is now 10am tomorrow!
They even had a spare aircraft in BHX on Friday (MD83) but that went to Manchester to operate a delayed Small Planet flight to Corfu and again the return rather than go to its intended destination came back into BHX in the
earlier hours and I assume the passengers were coached.
The MD83 sat in BHX all day today but has operated tonight's roads less than an hour late.
