Thomas Cook

[JND6198]

FCLK

Anybody know what is going on with G-FCLK, it appears to be decending into EHAM? It just caught my eye and was wondering what was going on.

[JonnyH]

Fuel stop, I think.

Thomas Cook Group to rebrand all airlines and operators.... shame I like the current livery

[mathers_wales_uk]

It will be very strange to see the globe disappear in honesty along with the Don't just book it, Thomas Cook it strapline.

Very strange, personally i also think the current brand reflects TC well. The retired use of the globe no longer gives people a clear indication it is indeed Thomas Cook.

I really like the new scheme

[GrahamK]

It reminds me of that Jettime scheme...hmmm

[TSR2]

Yep, it looks pretty modern although I'm not so sure about the logo.

[MKY661]

Yeah I've heard rumours of this Thomas Cook livery and now it turns out to be True.

When Aircraft begin to be painted I will start a new forum in the Spotters Corner like with Thomson & Monarch

[AirGuru]

...I love the new livery mind. Really modern, only resemblance of JetTime is the green tail.

[111KAB]

Reminds me of Vueling colours ....

at Manchester

Looking at jethros, TCX is to take numerous A321 deliveries before next Summer. Where are these A321's being based ? There has been numerous speculation over the CWL based aircraft for S14.
(GTCDB) - Airbus A321-211 - To trans fm Condor 02 Feb 14
(GTCDC) - Airbus A321-211-S - On order. Due 03 Dec 13
(GTCDD) - Airbus A321-211-S - On order. Due 10 Mar 14
(GTCDE) - Airbus A321-211-S - On order. Due 10 Mar 14
(GTCDF) - Airbus A321-211-S - On order. Due 10 Apr 14
(GTCDG) - Airbus A321-211-S - On order. Due 10 Apr 14

This will give TCX an extra 5 A321's for the Summer 2014 season, a lot more than previously thought.

It appears that Thomas Cook at Cardiff will be a non Thomas Cook aircraft. Despite high load factors according to the Civil Aviation Authority it seems as if Welsh passengers are to lose out again.

[HH6702]

Cardiff will see a leased A321 don't know who from

Newcastle will get 2 A321's as the 2 757's which are normally at Newcastle are to go to gatwick!

[goldeneye]

G-FCLD has had the new decal on the tail applied.

[mathers_wales_uk]

That would be amazing if correct HH6702. It would not see a capacity reduction of 40 seats per sector as envisaged.

I do feel for the flight deck who are forced to look re-locate elsewhere if it remains a non TCX aircraft.

TCX69 - Thanks for the info, flythomascook.com now shows a B752 to SSH. I am wondering if the -300 will operate elsewhere from LGW go go for a re-spray when I can fly on her lol

Really like the new livery and logo. Very re-freshing, some of the fleet is looking tired now. Camera at the ready then. Any pics of LD already?

[AirGuru]

So CWL is to see a damp leased A321, with TCX cabin crew and non-TCX flight crew. Any ideas on who the aircraft will come from ? AtlasJet seem to have a few shored up in Turkey.

[JND6198]

So if TCX is to get 5 new A321s for next summer, will they get rid of more 757s or offer more flights utilising all the aircraft they have?
