If they provide heart-stopping moments at GLA, imagine what they do to the people in Bournemouth (BOH).

Travel City Direct rumoured to be considering adding some departures from BOH to Sanford in July & August.

Air Atlanta didn't perform very well last year for TCD by all accounts. Lots of delays I'm told.

Well if EAAC do win the contract, perhaps that might put some more money in the coffers to pay the staff who were redundant.

You never know with EAAC

Not sure if this has anything to do with TCY program, but Air Atlanta Europe will be adding an additional 747 for next Summer...should be MAN based mainly for the short haul flights..allowing the other two 747s to operate mainly to SFB.

Air Atlanta are now using a B747-300 for the TCY flights from MAN and I believe they will be getting one for LGW in April. Both will be in TCY livery. Holding 520 pax.

So, now they will be having better aircraft can EAC compete with their heaps of junk?

Hmmmmm.....must have missed something. Didn't realise the -300s were so much better than the -200s. And so much newer as well (NOT). With 520 seats packed in the punters must be rubbing their hands with glee. Just hope they've left room for all the bags.

I dispatched the first one of the summer and the crew wanted to fly non-stop but the air pressure and temp got the better (would have been 12 tonnes over weight), but took the maximum fuel they could and decided to stop in shannon. I think the main gear left the ground just before the "piano keys".

Can anyone tell me what the current situation is at EAAC? Their website is never updated, and there seems to be no way of emailing their head offices to request more information. Is it possible to contact their offices, and how are things looking for them?

Also, whats going on at TCD? I heard they were using Air Atlanta Europe again, with either the usual 742s or possibly 767s. ???
