Well I think it's clearly obvious they're using smart lynx this year as LCL is a Smartlynx wet lease!

I really cannot be fussed to dig up the correct dates but from the top of my head and looking back at posts on this thread it seems there's been at least 7 delays.

15th June - Delayed 07:20 IBZ flight by 5 hours. Eventually a relief 752 flew into cover. I know this date because this the date I went on holiday!

MAH - Delayed by around 10 hours in July iirc due to some technical issues.

Reus - This was another 5/6 hour delay. Relief aircraft brought in for the overnight Zakynthos flight. This was this week.

PFO - This was a 23 hour delay. 30th July.

Larnaca - 6 hour delay. In the end YL-LCH came to cover.

Bourgas - Again, struck its wand and stranded passengers in July.

There is a couple of other incidents going back in the thread too. Add these to the couple of tech issues, for DLM, in May I think it's safe to come to the conclusion this aircraft is a heap of rubbish.
