Glasgow holidays started 3 weeks ago.

It is the start of the local 'Glasgow Fair' holidays today.

GLA is the only airport served by TCX. As others stated, the holidays started at the end of June/start of July and the two based A330s from Air Tanker and HiFly are based at STN from the middle of July until the end of August.

Long haul from GLA resumes on the 27th August.

Glasgow fair holidays only started today granted schools finished at end of June in Scotland as a whole, there is a lot of buisnesses which this is when the holidays begin. destinations such as Las Vegas and Cancun are mainly Adult holiday destinations. So why there are no flights is beyond me.

[Una Due Tfc]

Have TCX managed to source additional A330s next year or are they struggling like pretty much every other operator without options to exercise?

[LandingConfig]

According to jethros there's an extra A332 joining in April 2017.

[Brigantee]

Come 2017 i think lack of capacity will be the least of many Uk Airlines problems....

Seating on A321

I kniw its been a race to the bottom for years now, and TCX are making money again, but just endured a 4.5 hour flight to the Canaries on a newbuild A321.

Seats comfortable enough except for woeful seat squab length. And I am 5ft8. Can't get any tighter, can it?

[crackling jet]

Anyone have any idea what TCX have in store for Bristol next summer

[cheesebag]

I know Onti... I'm flying out of EMA on Thursday to ACE.. both based TCX aircraft at the mo are DA and DV. ironically the two aircraft I flew to and from HER on last summer.

So if anyone from TCX ops is reading this any chance of a new one being drafted in to EMA for Thursday please

[SFCC]

Not a prayer

[dude1882]

Unless one goes Tech, you might end up with a swap... DZ and DY have been up recently, but again the old ones.

[LiamNCL]

Seems like older models are only rotated LGW/EMA/MAN/STN

[azz767]

Reported on another forum that 3 Condor 757-300's will join the TCX fleet for summer 17, and 763 TCCA will be gone back to the lessor, with TCCB not far behind

[LandingConfig]

Just replacing the 767s then?

[azz767]

The source on the forum says the remaining two 767's TCCB and DAJC will go to condor for winter and at the moment both will be back for summer, however both could remain at condor for a further 757-300. So whichever way it goes, UK gains aircraft. And as far as I am aware capacity on the two isn't too different when the 767's are in shorthaul config

G-TCDV looks like it went Tech yesterday aftenoon at EMA, so G-TCDE was bought in from MAN and been operating since... Just missed out on the chance for sharklets

TCCB will still be around next Summer, I reckon it'll go after that.

[Boeing737-8]

Does anyone know what will happen with the crewing of the new LTN - DLM. The flight does MAN - DLM - LTN - DLM -MAN. The plane will be an a320.

[Twiglet1]

Boeing

1 crew operates LTN-DLM-MAN and the other MAN-DLM-LTN.
1 crew probably taxi MAN-LTN after the flight and I suspect either a LTN crew will position the day before to go into the Hotel and op MAN-DLM-LTN or a MAN crew will op MAN-DLM-LTN and either taxi straight back or rest in Hotel and taxi back.
Its all glamour for sure....
