My Travel

[afterdark]

is MYT having a problem with an aircraft shortage, damaged or maintainance issue at this point of the season, there seems to be a lot of subcharters at Glasgow at the moment using Futura, Flyglobespan and Air Finland aircraft.
their 767-300 G-SJMC left on tuesday to ? flight MYT006P and G-DAJC 767-300 arriving from Abu Dhabi Wednesday morning flight MYT007E.

Same kind of thing happening at EMA, A320 G-VCED has dissappeared after numerous problems with the no1 engine. Another A320 at the moment is taking its place. Last week they hired an Air Slovakia 757 to do the PMI route.

Could be an interesting summer for MY Travel if this continues!

Don`t think it is only MyTravel having problems this spring as I cannot remember so many sub charters at Manchester as there have been this week

The Futura is planned to do all the GLA - HRG flights this summer, so it isn't a sub

[svw8700]

G-VCED is now operating out of LGW. GLA flights have been subbed due to the late arrival of a SSV A320, which was subsequently damaged on the ground in MAN.

It is the same at BHX, one of Mytravel's A321's has been down at BHX on various days over May, in place of one of their two A320's that they base at BHX.

Perhaps their fleet redution has had something to do with this.

In BFS todays BFS-SFB flight MYT056 is showing delayed indefinitely, should have left at 09:55 this morning.

MYT055 Sanford Orlando 09:55 - DELAYED INDEFINITELY

I believe that flight originates at GLA before heading to BFS, according to
SFB's website

Perhaps it's still at GLA

Hi,

A Skyservice A320 was damaged on the ground on the 3rd May by ground equipment and is due to re-enter service on 10th June I believe and an A330 was damaged last week by ground crews at Las Vegas which caused a lengthy delay.

G-SJMC was positioning to Manchester as MYT006P I believe?

Other then that, Manchester has been operating with excellent OTP during May with the majority of flights arriving early - some have been noted as much as an hour and 5 minutes ahead of schedule.

Thanks

Presumably they are using a FUTURA aircraft on the GLA-HRG due to their somewhat flexible working arrangements whereas My Travel would have to crew change in HRG or double crew the flight.
Safety first!

Flyglobespan who did the HRG flights for MYT last year on a Friday didn't do a crew swap ! so why would MYT ?.... do MYT do a crew swap on the SSH route ?

[Kestrel_909]

I believe the BFS-SFB 767 had an engine problem and departed around 0020local this morning, the return was operated with an A332 without a 15hour delay, not sure if it was on time but certainly more on time than the outbound.

Today's MyT GLA-SFB is to be operated by a DC10, of Omni Air?

Your right, Globespan did it last year and no-one sure how!, Im certainly aware it was a concern for the Pilots there

[FlyZB]

Many of the short haul flights out of MAN have been operating on the A330's of late, with loads of only around 180 - 200 pax. This would suggest they're suffering from an aircraft shortage. They got rid of a couple of 320's to other airlines just before the start of the summer and it appears they're suffering a little as a result. No A320's are based at MAN at the minute. MAN currently has 2 based A321's (G-SMTJ and G-DHJH) and a third 321 (G-NIKO) has been positioning in from BHX/NCL at weekends and then positioning out again. Clearly not ideal and if this continues, there are bound to be delays as a result

[danskpilot]

Normal start to summer for MYT. Nothing to do with the guys who work there- just the normal planning by their Directors who always know better than their staff when it comes to operational issues. When will they understand NH and SS needs to go?????? Also the Ops Manager is on his way out..................

[firstforfirstchoice]

Does anyone know where Mytravel's B757 and now two B767's are based.

Think their B757 is based at Manchester, but not sure, what about their two B767's, where are they based??

Thanks for any help in advance,

Cheers.

[Torque2]

Certainly 1 based in Gla, not sure if both aren't.

[Wodrick]

757 - MAN
1 x 767 - MAN
1 x 767 Split MAN / GLA

MAN has 3 x A321 - no 320

Odd things happening like 321 at NCL and 767/330 with 320 loads due to the damaged 320 currently under repair - OK

[codpiece face]

The GLA based 767 ops six days a week and positions to MAN on a sunday to do a SSH, would not call that a split would call that a GLA based 767. This week it is doing some short haul flying from GLA as the leased air finland 757 has returned.

[firstforfirstchoice]

Thanks for that guys, I know BHX have had a A321 operating on certain days, along with the other A320, as mentioned most likely due to one of their A320's been damaged.

Cheers.
