MyTravel Finnair 757 Wetlease
It appears that Mytravel are to Wet-Lease a Finnair for this Summer. This seems rather strange when they are cutting back on Flights and obvoiusly are trying to save money.
Does Anybody have an explanation. My thoughts is that they have a delay in delivery of a new aircarft, or it is to be used as backup to ensure more on-time flights

OH!
I recall British Midland using a short DC-9 out of EGGP OH-LYB to do 5 Heathrow returns a day.. a real rocket....they had to carry an engineer on every sector and he had his own seat in the back.....would that still apply?

Busy summer program and winter ahead! Reduced number of airframes but still need to carry passengers. Fleet has always been too small to cope with full summer program.
Have used Finnair before and have had Canadian aircraft on wet lease for the last few years so nothing unusual about it.
A lot of work has always been subbed out (25%) rings a bell! The reduction you mention has been in the subbing, the airline has therefore been working harder to increase utilization . No more quiet winters!

Do you mean new MyTravel colours or new Finnair colours? If it's the latter is it going to be operated by Finnair pilots and cabin crew or Finnair pilots and MYT cabin crew (similar to the Skyservice arrangement) or MYT pilots and cabin crew?

These flights will not be operated by MYT flightdeck or cabin crew
it will be Finnair flightdeck and Air Scandic cabin crew.
It has been leased for about 16 weeks. It is to cover flights during the weekend as the MAN based A320 will operate from CWL. It is also on stanby for MYT at certain times during the week.

So is it MyTravel or Air Scandic flights?? ie is the aircraft chartered by MYTravel holidays (therefore probably using SCY flight no's) or MyTravel Airways (therefore probably using MYT no's)

All MYT flights are MYT flight numbers - it is just a normal ACMI operation using the SCY B757 summer wet-lease...
The A300 is at LGW this weekend also doing a few flights for MYT.
SCY have 2 B757's in MAN this year...

AIR SCANDIC LEASE 2 OR 3 757'S FROM FINNAIR OVER THE SUMMER, I THINK THEY GOT SOME SORT OF CONTRACT WITH MYT TO OPERATE SOME OF THEIR FLIGHTS THIS SUMMER, USING 757'S AND A300'S.
