Gatwick - Djibouti
Can anyone on here confirm which airline now operates the route LGW - CDG - JIB on behalf of Daallo Airlines? MYT used to operate this route with a Boeing 757 but I believe it was stopped due to safety reasons in Djibouti. I am just interested to know if it is still by a British Airline and crew.

I've heard that the Djibouti route is going to be handled by LGW crew now, i can hardly wait! please tell me its not true, i got on the 75 not long ago after a Djibouti and it was like someone had emptied the contents of all the gash carts down the aisles and over the seats - of course i dont need to tell this to the manchester crew, i give my deepest sympathy
Now on to those tel aviv flights..........

I work in Excel Ops and yes, we operate this service for Daallo Airlines. It's on one of our Iceland-registered B752's. I don't know which crews work it, who cares? As for the animals on board, the Daallo contract allows for a maximum of three animals to be carried on board in the cabin total with a small weight restriction. The other day we had one hamster on board. Again, who cares?

I think the crew who are working the flight care,especially when you have cats,dogs etc on board,(which are never properly contained),leaving somewhere like Djibouti which could have god knows what disease's! We are the one's stuck in the cabin all the way from Africa to Paris with them!!!!

The ops guy is very naughty and will be retrained to be more caring and compassionate. Either that or when he finally gets a flying job we will give him the full treatment 
If you had asked someone in crewing, they would have cared deeply and passionately about the hamster.

I was answering the original question to confirm that Excel Airways operates LGW-CDG-JIB on behalf of Daallo. I was trying to correct misinformation including the ridiculous idea that you get "pax boarding in JIB with the dogs and chickens etc under their arms!!!".
"Who cares" about the animals was in relation to the original question.
Of course I hold the Excel cabin crew in high regard and I am always concerned for your safety. Be careful not to spill any of my coffee on yourself when you bring it to me in the flightdeck next year!

Coming from some one who has actually worked this flight on various occasions, (not just sat on my ass in Mitre Court!) pax DO board with cats etc under their arms. The last time I did the JIB we had a french pax with a puppy in a hold all!!
After the cabin crew have read your post I'd recomend you take a flask of coffee with you when your in that flight deck!!

if you read the posts by myself and jj69, you would see we got this 'ridiculous idea' by actually being the crew on these flights.
jj69- drop me a pm tell me who you are!!!!

Girls,
Dont worry, will let you know who fly-half is for next year. Heres a clue: he will be doing the MAN-BJL every week so if you get to go on one of those you can put the chickens up front with him.
I think he may prefer you leave the hamsters up the back....
I know dicksy would never allow that
Happy flying one and all
