Who thinks TOM MAK ex GLA will get canned now with the EZY announcement? TOM have a habit of launching and pulling again.

[rjay259]

Where's MAK or did you mean RAK( Marrakech ). Don't see why it would be canned if the loads are good. If they are not why would they operate it?

[VickersVicount]

Yes RAK, as you well know ! We'll see how it goes...

Bristol- Summer 15.

Anyone have any idea what is based at Brs next summer yet, rumoured to be 3 a/c (possibly 3 738's or a mix of 757 and 738) there has been an increase in destinations next year anounced earlier by Thomson, 36-38 flights per week

BRS Summer 2015

Latest suggests Summer 2015 will be the same as Summer 2014 for BRS, two 757s. I would guess additional flights will be operated by a third party. However, as always, things are subject to change!

Flew out on a thomson 767 and was ver impressed with them, went out on OBYH and came back on OBYF looking very good for their age.

[adfly]

I notice this year Gatwick has no SH 767's based there, although I am sure it has always had at least one in previous years?

[MikeyMoo]

767 sh ex lgw starts this week (Friday) once the latest 787 enters service and the 767 stops doing lh (for the moment)

[adfly]

Thanks, that does make sense, although it seemed odd that MAN has two SH 767's while LGW has had none for much of the summer I must say!

[pwalhx]

Odd in what way? Maybe they feel they are better utilised in Manchester

[adfly]

I'm not doubting TOM's decision making but LGW is their largest base, and has plenty of routes which would support something larger than a 757 even outside of the school holidays. I would also have thought they would have done so due to there being less direct charter competition from TCX, who are a fair bit bigger at MAN than at LGW. It obviously works for them, I just find it a little unusual

[SCANDIC]

How long will Tom keep their 767's for.

[BlueTui]

Leases on at least two have been extended until 2019, not sure which frames, will probably be the ex-tfly ones as they are newer and have more flexibility in configuration.

[SCANDIC]

Hope to get on them again sometime in the near future

The B763's current planned exit dates are:

G-OBYE - November 2017 (but this aircraft is owned so could be any time)
G-OBYF - December 2017
G-OBYG - November 2019
G-OBYH - November 2019
SE-RFR (UK reg TBA) - November 2019

[MKY661]

SE-RFR (UK reg TBA) - November 2019

Does this mean this one is coming into the Thomson fleet?
