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!

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.

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.
