Hi Skipness


Edinburgh, Glasgow, Jersey and Nice are away overnight. They tend to send between 12 and 16 out in their first wave. Other aircraft join flight programme during day so to speak. I think this happens as the increasing longer sector flights(Malta, Paphos, Larnaca, Tenerife, Arrecife etc...) mean they tend to need more aircraft available later in the day to operate the late afternoon evening flights to the destinations with multi frequency flights. At this time several aircraft will be away from base on the longer sectors until very late in the evening/early hours.


I hope that makes sense!!
