Oceanhawk,
Thats interesting, if 767s are staying until 2018 and they are TOM ones not Euro TUI. I am therefore assuming that the UK will get the 2 additional TUI 787s on order.
Otherwise there would surely be a cut to TOM long haul in 2018 when the 767s leave.
TOM used to do 2 flights from BHX to Orlando, until they took the strange decision to open up EMA as a long haul base and our 2nd flight was presumably lost to them.
Think EMA has been scaled back a bit in 2015 so I hope BHX benefits in 2016.
