Expect mainly Dalaman and Sharm for the shorthaul 332, but the final S10 fleet and routes won't be set in stone for another month or so.

What's the provisional outlook for the fleet next year?

Apparently, there will just the one shorthaul Airbus up in Manchester. An A321 I believe?

I also heard a rumour that the company is considering an extra 1/2 aircraft to partially replace the ones that left the fleet this winter.

Provisional fleet is 40 aircraft for S10, down from 44 last summer:

0 x A333 (-1)
7 x A332 (+0)
3 x B763 (+1)
2 x B753 (+0)
15 x B752 (-1)
4 x A321 (+0)
9 x A320 (-3)

40 TOTAL (-4)

There is no standby aircraft planned for S10 (a B763 was used for this last year), so the fleet reduction is really three aircraft.

Rumours abound of a late change in the works with an extra aircraft for S10 (so 41 total) but nothing confirmed yet.

TCX are to operate a weekly service from ABZ to DLM from 5 May - 27 October. Flight will be on an A320 on a W pattern from a UK base (by the times i think its GLA) Wed: ABZ - DLM 1830-0110 WED: DLM - ABZ 1435-1720

Also ABZ to AYT for 4 flights in July again A320, & EXT - AYT weekly from 6 May.

ABZ-DLM A320? Lets hope it's a CFM powered one
I'd be very interested to learn which base it'll be w'ing from. GLA isn't an option as far as I know.

Because the V2500 machines are more performance limiting and would almost certainly require thrust bump to lift a full load and DLM fuel.
It is for this reason that TCX usually puts CFM's through the likes of BRS and LBA.

I'm sure two of the V2500 aircraft are the ones leaving the fleet next summer, with the other two due to have their leases expire the following summer. I'd imagine unless there was a radical change in fleet with whatever is due to replace the 757-200s, that there'll eventually be more A320s coming and they'll be CFM-powered. Merry Christmas to all.

Does anyone know why TCX568L was diverted when operating FUE-EMA... No Snow or Ice or Fog at EMA, so not sure that the problem was?

Just had a letter through from TCX, the LGW Croatia programme has been cancelled for 2010, Holiday is cancelled and they are giving me a refund

Pity, i thought Split being outside of the eurozone would have been more popular. Guess Easyjet are giving them a run for their money.

Thats probably the reason, anyway not to worry, EZY have £50 returns available for the same dates so ill save some money doing it this way.

TV advert

Just seen for the first time on skynews,sorry if been mentioned before.

Mr & Mrs Rednapp urging us to 'don't just book it,Thomas Cook it'.

Do we really think we are likely to see the Rednapps in the check in queue for a TCX flight?.

Don't know why not. I was on the same flight back from Sardinia with them last year on EZY. Nice family, no airs or graces.

May see them at Manchester, stood at the next check-in desk for EK business going somewhere exotic in the Far East!

Seriously though, there are quite a number of 'famous' people who do act just like us 'normal' people....

Whilst on the subject of footballers, Nicky Butt and family sat across the aisle from us last year. Seemed a very nice guy and was perfectly happy to give his autograph to the many kids on-board.

Tony Blair flew JMC/TCX a few times from LGW to SSH for his post Xmas holiday.
