Seen a picture on the smartphone app Instagram of a 737 at luton with the new NG winglets ! Guessing these are retrofits

See Spectators Balcony - New Thomson Livery for more info.

Repatriation from Montego Bay???

[LGS6753]

Repatriation is from Mombasa (MBA) or Nairobi (NBO).

[Diverskii]

Just out of interest where do TOM find the capacity to do these repatriation flights?

If they have to send a 767 to MOB and replace that aircrafts normal routes with OOBA and TAWB where did the capacity come from?

Do OOBA and TAWB really have enough free time to fly these extra flights?

[oceanhawk]

Diverskii.

The summer programme is not yet in full swing, so there is some available capacity and there will always be a fleet spare to cover disruption even in the peak summer months.

Hey

Does anyone know when Thomson are due to get rid of the ex-FCA 767's?

Just booked on TOM2700/01 from Manchester to larnaca knowing it was a 767 flight but expected a Thomson 2-4-2 config 767.

The seating plan is that of the ex-FCA 767 with 2-3-2 seating throughout the aircraft and 40 rows in total.

Are thomson basing one of the ex-FCAs at Manchester this summer to operate short haul?

Thanks

They should be gone by the end of July when the next two 787's arrive

[zjc123]

Any idea what aircraft the seating plan reflects then?

Im flying in Late July & Early August?

Is it the ex-FCA 767?

Thanks
ZJC

[oldbalboy]

It will be planned on a 328 seater ex BY!

[zjc123]

How strange you would think they would set the plan to 2-4-2 to get more people on there wonder why it shows 2-3-2

[janeyTA]

The 328 are 2-4-2 and have 47 rows. 2-3-2 and 40 rows is an ex FCA 763 V2 with 258 seats.

G-FDZY is the second 738 to be applied with spilt scimitar winglets, currently based at CWL.
