They are not the only people struggling this weekend and there does seem to be an almost total lack of subcharter capacity around to recover when things go wrong.
LBA problem appeared to start on Friday when the based 757 went tech on its MAH W pattern and missed MAH closing time. It then set off on the Friday night LBA-IBZ on Saturday morning, got to IBZ and allegedly went back to IBZ with a tech problem. The 04:55 Saturday morning IBZ-LBA flight eventually arrived back at 15:30 on Sunday afternoon. The LBA programme has been screwed for the rest of the weekend due to having to catch up one whole rotation.
MAN problems looked like three aircraft badly out of line with schedule although it seems to be getting better.
Problems also now affecting LGW flights - the 767 Canada prog was about 6 hrs behind from Friday anyway. Sunday Monastir-LGW 14:20 arrival yesterday got in at 02:30 this morning, Agadir-LGW 04:20 Monday arrival estimating 15:00, Reus-LGW 12:05 Monday estimating 20:15, 17:45 Larnaca-LGW est 21:00.
