IKO
For your info from another thread.
Air Atlanta are based in Iceland.Excel are based at LGW.

Excel will operate a fleet of 10 737-800 a/c this summer.The
a/c are completely crewed by excel,both flight deck and cabin
crew.

Other a/c for this summer will include leased a/c from Air
Atlanta.They supply flight deck,we provide cabin crew.

Plan for this summer are as follows

3 x B767-200 2 at LGW 1 at MAN
1 X B767-300 Caribbean ex LGW all year
1 x B767-300 To be added later for India flights
4 X B757-200 2 at Man 2 at LGW

G-SATR will operate NBO flight.Empty in,and after crew rest
departs for LGW.Go and say hello.We are a really freindly lot.

Hope this helps a little

Definitely no winglets on G-XLAH, I'm afraid.

ZS-SJP is coming back from SAA, though, and that does have them.

Yep...

It'll be good to see old Sarah Jessica back with the others.

She's got the best pair of winglets this side of KGS. !!!!!

The Miami Air a/c is G-OXLA. As far as I know we will be operating it again this season. Hopefully in full xl colours this time.

Winglets look "cool" on the 737 but they are a pain when it comes to parking. They increase the wingspan by about 1.5m which mean they don't fit on the stands specifically designed for non-winglet NG 737s and A320 family. Boeing should have designed them so they fold in when on the ground.

Smile GXLAH

GXLAH diverted into Prestwick & landed at around 0830z 26/3/04 en-route from Boeing Field to Gatwick. It refuelled and departed about an hour later.
If anyone wants a photo of it [without winglets ;-) ] , PM me & I'll see what I can do !

if ZS-SJP has been pranged, then SA must be sending another. JP isnt the only 738 they've got!
