I've just seen photo's of a couple of the LY- registered A321's in full TCX livery which seems strange for a summer lease. Are all the summer leased aircraft going to be painted in full livery or is there a particular reason for these two being exceptions?

We have 2 Smart Lynx A/C operating for MT at LGW at the moment. 1 A320 and 1 A321.

thats a nightmare with high season about to start, im guessing theres not too much slack in the A330 timetable. Wonder if Air Tanker could provide a Air Force grey one for a short spell!

Following on from the news in the MAN thread about Thomas Cook launching MAN-SEA for next summer, will there be more A330's acquired, leases extended on planes such as the Air Tanker examples or using existing assets by stopping things like using A330's on short-haul turns?

It looks like 7 MAN based A330 next summer at the very least, with 8 required on a Thursday and Sunday at this stage, press release for the Seattle flight mentions MAN will be 8 based A330 next summer.
There is also gaps on Mon/Wed which would easily fit in the hotly rumoured Tampa and even the other highly rumoured San Diego should TCX feel brave and add multiple routes.

So Air Berlin has filed for bankruptcy and has 17 A330-200 aircraft in its fleet. Could this be a perfect opportunity for TCX to grab some much needed aircraft to fulfill its long haul ambitions?
Jethros is suggesting a big fleet swap this winter between TC and Condor with all 757-300s going to Condor this winter, A321s coming the other way and 767s finally being retired - guess the onerous tax leases from Airtours days must finally be over? Is this "new news" or was this big switch always the plan?
