TCX Winter fleet
What's planned for the other A330's & 757's over the winter period? Are all remaining aircraft being leased out or parked up? According to Wikipedia the fleet consists of 44 aircraft?? Correct?

I shall be pretty gutted if they don't go to Canada because I have booked at least three round trips between now and March! Kissed BA goodbye when they put the prices up by nearly 400% for premium economy on LHR/YVR!

Groundhog,
Going to Canada means going on lease to Skyservice and the like for the Canadian winter flying programe to the Caribbean, Mexico, Florida etc.
TCX are still flying through the winter from the UK to Canada.

Fernanjet,
How can they share a programme of one of each, when on some days 2 x 763s arr flying ex MAN at the same time and 2 x 753s are flying ex LGW at the same time....
if the question is what a/c are based at which base, then the number of a/c base dat that base is the answer?

2 x 757-300s will be based at LGW for the winter, with 2 x 767-300s at Manchester.
Some days only one of the two at each base operate a flight, some days neither operate any flights, but broadly speaking they have their own flying lines and 4 aircraft are needed for the programme.
As flyboyTC says, there are many days in the season where 2 x B753s from LGW and 2 x B763s from MAN operate at almost exactly the same time, so all 4 aircraft are definately required.
As usual with the winter season, it really depends which week you look at.

Does anyone know what is going to replace the four Aircraft leaving next year? These being the three A320's (G-BYTH, G-GTDL & G-VCED) and also the B752 (G-JMCF). Thomson's A320's should be going soon, possibly they could go to Thomas Cook if they don't want to place a new order? For the 757 there could be the easyJet A321's and Thomson's A321's. Probably the ex GB A320's will be leaving soon too once the new batch has been delivered.
It would be nice to see an order put in for new A320's and A321's though
