Air Tanker Jobbie

This particular A330 is part of Air Tankers surge fleet, which means it comes in basic military format, and is leased to TC with the agreement of the RAF. In a national emergency it can be recalled `to the colours` as it were, to be used as part of a troop airlift. I would imagine the lease rates are much cheaper for TC and as its a new aircraft it should be reliable..

Maybe best to avoid this one though if you are going long haul on holidays..Its basically a squaddie carrier
