Excel Airways... Sunday Delays ex-Rhodes
Anyone from Excel lurking..?
Phreegreens Jnr. is stuck in Rhodes as an early Sunday morning flight to LGW has been canned, info is non-available locally, just being told at least a 24 hour delay. MAN flight also delayed.
MAN website shows that flight pencilled for a 01:00/Mon arrival but BAA's site and teletext shows nowt on the LGW flight.
Any insider info appreciated..

The same thing did happen at LGW - no captain. On teletext the lgw flights is now showing expected at 0435 monday. Initially a night Kos flight also had no flight deck at all. Don't know what happened to that.

There is a plane full of folks stuck in a hotel in Rhodes, no reps, hotel staff know nothing.. they have been told they will get an update at 18:00 local today..
pprune info has been duly despatched, be interesting to see if the excuses given, if any, tie up with this info.

Haven't Air Atlanta/Excel got a ATA B757-300 currently sat at LGW on standby or was this just used to bring home PAX from Orlando after the various hurricanes.
It was still parked up yesterday morning

Aha! I was told to tell the pax that the aircraft was stuck in the Caribbean because of Ivan. Thought that was a bit fishy coz the -300 does the POP flights. NM

my main point is the staff of the airline in question advising the whole world
In certain companys it would not go down to well when staff are advising a web site read by 1000's ... what do you think?
