TCX deliveries

Hi, alasdair1
GTCDD and GTCDE were originally planed for delivery 10th March, but Jethros has now confirmed the revised dates are 26th March and 9th April respectively.
GTCDF and GTCDG were due 10th April with a further 2 to come in November, then another 2 in March of next year. Its unlikely at this stage that they will purchase the NEO, and currently there is no word on whether they are going to be ordering any more UK based aircraft, though i'd say its highly unlikely as next year they will be looking at refreshing the long haul fleet. The A350 would personally be my choice of long haul aircraft, i'm not so sure TCX will see it that way, and will most likely stick with the A330 for now.

TCX deliveries

TCXBoi said "GTCDD and GTCDE have already been delivered, a few days ago in fact, 10th March".

Umm, I think not.

In fact, neither of them has even flown yet!

[jethro15]

I suspect that the info was gained and misinterpreted from my site. Delivery dates have slipped to what I was originally passed and will be amended this evening G-TCDD now due 26 Mar, G-TCDE now due 09 Apr

Delivery Dates

Jethros, what are the new revised dates for GTCDF and GTCDG now?

Thanks for your previous post . . . i had wondered why we hadnt heard anything of GTCDD and GTCDE.

Also do you know what the WFU date is of GTCAD from BRS?

For the return, in reverse order.

Any idea on aircraft?

Hello All.

Can anyone confirm what aircraft will be operating the MAN-MCO route on the 10th May 2014??

Last time i heard it will be G-CHTZ but that was a while ago.

Would be great to crab some up to date information.

Thanks
VFR

I'm quite sure airlines don't release the exact aircraft operating each route on each day publicly so you probably won't know until you get to the gate. However you could look at the seat map/seat assignment page, as if it shows 8 abreast Y with no Y+ cabin then it should be the A330 with the new interior, although you won't be 100% sure until you see it at the gate since last minute swaps can happen.

[janeyTA]

Still scheduled to be G-CHTZ on the 10th. Just log into your booking to check the seating plan. You should log in regularly anyway, to check for any changes to flight times etc.

[VFR Transit]

Thanks very much indeed.

I can still see the config as 2-4-2 and was told by someone at Thomas Cook it was the new (to Thomas Cook) A330.

I just hope it does not change :-)

Thanks
