Anyone know if the last remaining A321s in the old livery will be sprayed this winter ? Believe there is still JH,KO,DV,DA & DB in the blue & white.

[azz767]

Are any more A330's supposed to be joining the fleet over the winter? I know there will be a 330 coming for the summer from scandi again as normal but with the extra routes and frequency increases id have thought at least one would be needed

[goldeneye]

azz767 they are due to get OY-VKG from DK, this is one of the A330-300's though, so not sure what they will do with it.

[azz767]

That's what I wondered, especially as the 300's regularly do Europe for DK, this year it was a 200 that came (OY-VKF) and did long haul, which with a 300 coming next year made me wonder whether they would get another 200 of their own. Maybe even two as there was the hi fly bird doing GLA & STA ops as well this year.

azz767 the A330-200 is coming as normal as well.

Looks like TCX are getting another A330 from Air Tanker. The TCX website is now listing G-VYGM in addition to the existing leased A330.

I take it this will mean G-CHTZ will be getting a premium cabin for next summer as it is part of the 'core fleet'? Also what config is TCXC in currently?

All economy I think.

I thought G-CHTZ had already been fitted with a Premium cabin in April, and TCXC was fitted with one when it was originally refurbished. Only the AT without AFAIK.

[Ipaq]

G-CHTZ is in fit Y49M264 - G-TCXC is in fit Y49M265

G-JMAB 757-300 landing at LGW currently from LIS as TCX38YG? As Lisbon isn't a route does anyone know what its been doing there?

[mart901]

hi - just wondering has anyone flown on an air tanker A330, and how it compares to TCX own metal?

cheers

Does anybody know why all the Flight Numbers have changed, before it was easy to see where each flight had originated from: MT1XXX LGW, MT2XXX MAN, MT4XXX BHX...

[AlanSinfield]

And I believe Long Haul could be identified by the fact they only had 3 digits eg MTxxx

Flight No.s

I heard that it was something to do with code shares with DE.

Every single Thomas Cook aircraft will be either new or refurbished in time for summer 2017, following a £100 million investment.

Cook’s fleet of 89 airplanes carries more than 6.7 million passengers a year to 60 destinations across Europe, Asia, Africa and America.

It includes ten Airbus A330s and AirbusA320s, Airbus A321s, Boeing 757-300s and Boeing 767.

Travel Weekly was told the refurbishment programme will be completed at Cook’s conference in Paphos, Cyprus.

maybe refurbished but I understand they have retained their appalling, DVT inducing legroom on the short/medium haul fleet..I know long haul has improved

[azz767]

I thought the 767's were leaving by mar/apr next year? Or is this happening across the whole group?

Short/medium haul are 28 - 30" so same or more than TOM and ZB. Their long haul seat pitch has reduced. It was 33" in economy but when they refurbed the A330s and went to 2-4-2 they reduced it to 31", in line with most full service carriers.
