Just noticed an advert for Malta by Air Malta on the airport website. I thought Air Malta stopped operating from BRS and Ryanair picked up the route?

Re: Ryder Cup Charters

There was an addition inbound Amsterdam service which arrived at Bristol on Friday last at 7am operated by KLM. It departed back to AMS 45 minutes later. I don't know what machine type was used to operate the flight.

and with BRS expansion approved, can't see CWL getting any better just yet. CWL needs build on it's short haul route network, and once airlines start making money out of CWL the long Haul may return! I think it definately will some day, but not anytime soon!!!

Cant disgree with what you are saying andrew1968,although it pains me to say it, CWL becoming a bit of a lost cause.
However the runway at BRS cant fill pilots of biggish metal with much confidence in difficult conditions. I can always remember landing there quite a few years back when pilots used to warn passengers to expect a hard landing due to short runway at BRS!
CWL much more suited to handle a fully laden 767.

There was a Skyservice 763 with pretty much same issue after an awkward landing in PUJ a couple of years ago, was written off as far as I know

Im sure that aircraft is now G-TCCA or something similar with TCX, so was repaired. Also Royal Air Maroc had a similar incident with their B763 at JFK that was repaired, so I wouldnt kill it off just yet.
Not good for thomsons long haul ops anyway, good job its the winter season now and not peak summer!

no chance of moving the aircraft with that damage, Mr Boeing will have to fabricate a way to repair on site....

Thomson are a quality operator with highly experienced crews and the 767 is a tough machine. Which all serves to reinforce the point that 09 at BRS deserves great respect in high winds.

So how did a hard landing damage the roof of the aircraft? Was the damage definitely caused by the landing at BRS?

because with a rapid de-rotation the nose gear will have a considerable vertical load placed on it which will cause the fuselage to flex, hence the upper skins can crease.....

October is still classed as summer for Thomson/First Choice so the 767's are as busy now as the middle of July/Aug. November starts the winter season where all the 767's are extremely busy, more so than the summer- one of the reasons all the 767's are still flying round in their previous livery unlike the 737/757's

Think there will be some headaches over the comming weeks. LGW-MLE-LGW yesterday operated on an ex Thomsonfly G-OBYG (328 config, opposed to 258 config) because of this problem.
