Thomson are still taking seats on the flight

If you're dealing with flight this year you going to have a late night - the departure from HUY is about 10pm

[sunshine79]

Damn, IŽll be on that flight every week, as my main rold is doing transfers. HereŽs me thinking we might get finished early on a Saturday this year, that was wishful thinking.

A320-214 ex TCX G-BXKB will become G-OMYA.

Won't need a repaint or re-reg after today's news.

Mytravel 767

I have heard that Mytravel are returning their 2 767s to the lease company at the end of the 2007 summer season. Can anybody confirm whether this is correct?

Thanks

[Flightrider]

Not true. At least one 767 will remain in the fleet for the foreseeable future as there is a very significant financial issue if they are taken out of the fleet. When the three 767s were first acquired, they were financed through a fairly complicated UK tax lease structure. My understanding is that if the aircraft leave the fleet completely before the tax lease is complete, there is a massive tax implication. I think the earliest date that the last one can leave the fleet is 15 years from acquisition, so round about 2012 - unless, of course, the tax bill is paid!

The structure has changed slightly over the years - alongside the MyTravel 757s, the aircraft were owned by various different offshore companies. [I seem to recall that Elland Ltd, Ewood Ltd and Anfield Ltd were three Guernsey-based entities each owning a 757 - remember that when MyTravel Airways was first formed, its official company name was Airtours International Airways (Guernsey) Ltd]. Although I think this has now changed on the 767s, the tax implications of the original deal remain the same.

With the 767, now that MYT is being merged into TCX, would they be allowed to sublease the 767 to DE as they operated a fleet of Boeing 767-300's or would the tax lease not allow that ?

[Mr @ Spotty M]

I would guess that DE would not want them, different engines, DE are PW and MYT are GE.

The XL returned to FAO with a pressurisation / door problem, then the airport closed

[GW76]

Was it the GLA bound XLA/MYT 738 that returned to RHO ? I see lot of knock on delays at GLA already- seems a regular occurance for some reason.

[bhoy007]

Xl 7373

The 737 that is based at GLA, has been going tech since the day we got it and just as we make the time up again on delays it goes tech...

It seems XL have gave us there worse a/c in there fleet and now its turnd on MYT making use look bad
so that is why it has not been looking good over the last few few weeks and that is also correct with what happend in FAO but anything else you can think that could happen to this a/c has happend, it is just a joke now

God knows how many times i have been stood down as a/c has been subd and when on it and went tech...

upon boarding my flight from oslo on new years eve i noticed a my travel a330 next to us, it also followed us to the runway. does anyone know why it was there.

[stansdead]

It was probably going flying.

Maybe it should have been spooling it's engines up in the Car Park for a take off?

[UPS@EMA]

prob operating a Mytravel Scandanavia flight. I believe mytravel have a few aircraft registered on the OY register

[Code 100]

Mytravel have had a/c based in Scandinavia for years. I have seen them in Larnaca and Barbados, usually places where cruise ships depart from. You can usually spot their pax - blonde + very pale! Don't know what will happen when TCX merger gets into full swing.

[A320fan]

Yeah MYT or DK as they are known do have about 15 i think on the OY register. The airline was called Premiair until the company rebranded Airtours International as MyTravel.

Lets hope they will stay as a MyTravel Brand as from what I understand Thomas Cook is unknows over there. Anyone more in the know like to inform us as i'd quite like to think MyTravel will live on in some form!
