A330's doing short sectors

You ask if anyone knows of the short sectors A330's do?

try one on your door step.
Last time I travelled MNL - AMS - LHR, we travelled on an A330 on the morning sector from AMS - LHR on KLM.


Also pretty common to see A330's used on sectors under 2 hours in Asia.
Especially Cathay, China Airlines and Malaysia Airlines

The A330 was not designed as a long haul aircraft in the first instance....

[Kestrel_Stu]

Also the YYZ flights on the 757, which A/C are in this config now?

G-FCLJ, G-FCLK and G-WJAN will be in Y187 config for S09.

[Robini]

There's a thread starter for you, long haul aircraft flying short haul routes. I can think of A330s flying shorter sectors.

I didn't say it wasn't able to fly short haul routes....But short haul from UK!
Surpricing of flying A333 to SFB? Nja not so surpricing...But to DLM...

[TCX69]

G-FCLJ, G-FCLK and G-WJAN will be in Y187 config for S09.

G-WJAN? Will it be re-registered for the summer then or stay as C-FFAN? Be nice to see a TCX 757 with winglets! Where will this one be based?

So TCX will be operating 17 752's this summer then?

G-JMCD/E/F/G
G-TCBA
G-WJAN

[Kestrel_Stu]

It will come onto the British register for the summer as G-WJAN. As one of the Y187 aircraft it will be seen at MAN, LGW and GLA, these aircraft don't have fixed bases and often "swap" downroute. Still 16 x B752s in total this summer (as S08), because G-FCLG has been returned to the lessor (for -F conversion to FedEx).

1 x A320 and 1 x A333 are the "extra" aircraft vs. S08 (see this post).

Not really too surprising when you consider group strategy is moving capacity from the euro zone to destinations like Turkey in line with consumer demand (largely resulting from the poor £/Euro exchange rate).

Even the Glasgow A330-200 does a Dalaman once a week this summer.

[Flightlevel001]

Didn't EI do a Shannon-Dublin rush hour service in their A330s before it went across the pond? Don't know if they still do....

[jasond4]

TCX tend to use the 757 or 767 on flights to Egypt. It really depends on your route.

[Kestrel_Stu]

All Egypt routes are planned on the 757-200 this summer.

[johnrizzo2000]

EI only flies SNN-DUB because the aircraft routes BOS-SNN-DUB

Any chance of TCX flying ex DUB?

[odyseus]

TCX flights out of DUB this summer will be operated by Monarch.

[goldeneye]

The Monarch flight from Dublin to Sanford has nothing to do with TCX. Its for Panorama Holidays Ireland and Direct Holidays Ireland who are part of the Thomas Cook Group.

TCX only operate from Northern Ireland (BFS)

[chrisy08]

What aircraft will be flying to Antalya this summer from Cardiff? A321?

[Envoy320]

Cwl-AYt - A321 every week...

G-WJAN, or C-FFAN does not have winglets!

[Barnesy2006]

Will STN be staying as 1 A321?

[BYALPHAINDIA]

A320 at STN I think?

[BYALPHAINDIA]

I don't know if it was already posted,

But TCX is adding MIR on a sunday from LBIA, I have just read in TTG.
