Not until around 20 May.

ROC10- The LCA flight was a revenue flight in both directions as the series started at Easter on this route and had friends on the inbound who had an extra night in Larnarca.

It looks like BD arrived from ACE into BHX then went tech so they had to get BG down from Glasgow to cover

G-OOBG has been based at BHX since January so that didn't arrive from GLA. G-OOBD positioned GLA-BHX on the 30th April in order to operate the BHX-LCA-BHX (not sure which aircraft it was covering for though - presumably BA or BG). G-OOBD has since been repeatedly swapping between BHX and BRS, with G-OOBE now at GLA.

G-OOBA is now MAN based following its problems on the BHX-SID flight, with G-OOBP taking its place at BHX.
ROC10 is online now

Just booked a holiday to Cancun out of MAN for end of April 2018, and because TUI have re-designed the seat booking process, removing the -90 day restriction when pre booking seats, or atleast Premium Club, was able to see what aircarft we'll be on.

26/4/18 MAN - CUN showing 46 isles on the seat map, indicating a 789 from MAN

Return (for me) 11 days later being a 788.

So it looks like 2018 will see a 789 based at MAN, unless it's a temp swap from LGW. Does this mean that the 2018 fleet of 789s will be 3, as I believe there's another 789 delivered this month, again based at LGW?

There is a third B789 due to be delivered to Thomsons around the middle to end of march 2018, so that may well be getting allocated to Manchester.

I read a sort of NOTAM over the weekend that said that the planned change of radio callsign from Thomson to TUI-Air has ben delayed until 31 Ocotber 2017. If this takes place the name of this thread will need to change sometime. What is the company actually called at present- notice most (all?) of the aeroplanes have TUI on them now.

Not all, yet. Dont think the official TUI name change has happened yet so is still Thomson.

Two of their cruise ships are using TUI, the crew refer to it as being the same, Thomson not mentioned.

G-TUIK is on the flight line at Seattle, so I am guessing it should be delivered shortly?

Hi just a quick question. Flying out to LCA next week from Manchester on TOM2334 Seating plan suggests a 767 and a 1410 dep but this weeks flight is a 1450 dep on a 737-8. Is this just the switch to full summer schedule?

GTUIK has TUI on the side. I have a photo on my camera of it, but I suspect it will be delivered before I get home!

Why change the callsign at all? "Thomson" is way easier on the ear than "Tui-air". Indeed they should have kept "Britannia" for ATC. See also flybe and "Jersey"
