The aircraft had a minor left system leak that the engineers could not easily locate through ground testing. It was eventually traced to the tail area and two parts were replaced fixing the problem.

It left for Dom.Rep some six hours late yesterday evening, arriving safely with no further defects at 0215Z.

I know, 'cos I was flying it!

FIRST CHOICE

From 13th April with First Choice. New routes include BRS-SFB, BRS-VRA and BRS-POP. Thats all details I have at the minute.

Edit:
Looks like nothing new from NCL and they are still sharing Thomas Cook flights. Costa Rica been added although it does not say where from. Source: First View (FC's viewdata system)

Great news for BRS with longhaul announcement - bout time, probably fuel route them thru MAN.
Any new short haul routes from BRS now they going to be using 757 not 321s, also any based EXT FCA unit and has CWL managed to keep FCA?

FCA secure at Cardiff for at least the next 3 years. Granted it will all be Canadian, but the pink starfish will remain......

So are First Choice Airways gaining more B757's from somewhere this summer, if Bristol is to become a B757 base.
As G-OOOG has now gone to Asteraus and G-OOOY is going to Thomas Cook Airlines within the next couple of weeks, both B757's.
Unless they are using the extra B767's on the short shaul routes this summer, which I doubt it, but you never know!

Anyone know??

Heard a rumour at the start of the year that FCA were looking at doing a BFS-SFB next year with the extra 767's there getting.

So far nothing yet.

No its cut backs to Manchester and Gatwick that have allowed for the B757's.
