Cassa fly, thanks for the info. I just didn't like the idea of being sat nearly four hours extra on the plane, or do they disembark passengers when they make the tech stop in Manchester?

To be fair it didn't. They created a seperate brand JMC to focus on the tour operator side of the business and created an in house airline JMCair by merging i believe Flying Colours and Caledonian. The brand was actually well recieved by the British public and knew it was associated with the long standing trusted brand Thomas Cook. Thomas Cook decided to streamline the business and put emphasis again on its Thomas Cook brand and heritage in around 2003. They rebranded the airline as we know to Thomas Cook Airlines and phased out the JMC holiday brand by the late 2000s.

i dont think the package tour travellers will give two hoots whether its TUI or Thomson. The name is normally occluded by the airbridge as they board! Although whether tighter European integration in this climate may not be good for UK or travellers in this climate.

On Planefinder it says TOM2200, Man to JSI, that Thomson have been using a 787 occasionally in place of the usual 757s. Can this be correct as the runway is very short?
Does anyone know the answer to my question please?

Thank you H44, that is what I thought, but wanted to make sure!
When I first went to Skiathos in 1990 a car went up and down the runway before the Britannia 737 landed. I was told it was to make sure there were no children playing in the middle of the runway as the'd had this happen before. I want to take off on a 757 from JSI before they all sadly go.

I'd be surprised if NCL - BGI would be via MAN as prior to the 787 becoming part of the TOM fleet, BGI routes from NCL always operated direct to BGI on both TOM and legacy ex-FCA aircraft.
But I'm sure time will tell if yours operates direct or via MAN. Fingers crossed for a direct route.

EDIT: Oops maybe not. It's always been nonstop in the past though?

LGW -LCA will be operated by B789 on July 17th, 24th, and 31st. G-TUIJ B789 is actually operating MAN-LCA today.

Could this be something to do with crewing? I believe this flight only operates twice in winter 16/17 from Newcastle. As already stated this has operated non stop previously. Is there a site that has details on flight plans, maybe six months ahead, seem to remember one a few years ago for Thomson?

Current shorthaul configured 787-8 are g-tuia and g-tuif which alternate Gatwick or Manchester. 4200 is due to be on shorthaul 787-8. I think that g-tuih is at Luton to be refitted to shorthaul seat fit. So take your pick to one of these airframes being on flt 4200.
