Won't they be needing extra aircraft to operate the new routes from STN, MAN & GLA or can they utilise the current fleet?
I think the answers lie in utilisation Condor and Thomas Cook Scandinavia support
And some internal consolidation.
The TCX long haul fleet will consist of 5 no A332 frames (including 1 from Scandinavia) -same as this year plus the 3 763 frames plus a number of Condor 753s.
A planned Condor 763 will be used from Manchester to Tobago on weekly basis.
I expect the bases to be
Manchester - 4
Gatwick/Glasgow/Stansted - 1 shared probably the Scandinavia plane.
Gatwick will be the net looser with few flights per week.
