Are Thomson doing their own flights for Summer 12 from Edi, or will AEU be doing them again.
Believe MON are back at Edi next summer, but will be interesting to see whether that is for TOM flights, or for the rumoured TCX flights

The EXT based A320 (in old First Choice colours), will be changing to a B737-800 on 01/01/12 as TOM begin to retire the airbus fleet and expand the 738 fleet.
All the 737's are in TOM colours.

As far as I am aware, G-BYAW doesn't have a planned paint job. I believe G-BYAX & G-BYAY are the only planned ex TOM aircraft to remain in the fleet for a few years to come, hence the re-paint.
Fleet Developments
Do u know what is due to depart the fleet in 2013 apart from AW? I know BN and BP may be candidates. What about the non sky 737s and the 767 fleet?
Thanks in advance

With the repainting goin on at the moment, are aircraft being changed from thomsonfly.com to Thomson? I can't work out what the airline is doing with it's livery, are they standardising, and if so, to what?

There is now a plan to remove the ''fly.com'' titles from those aircraft that will not recieve a full repaint, however - when this will happen is anyones guess...
It was originally the plan to introduce a new revised livery across the fleet, being first displayed on the 787. However despite all the delays with the arrival of the 787, it was still decided not to introduce this livery to the current fleet as the majority of the aircraft will be ending their leases by the time of the new 787 arrival schedule.

Could someone fill me in as to why Thomson switch the long haul 767's to the ex-FCA birds during the winter season at BHX? I'm guessing it's due to them having less seats but is there another reason?
There are only four ex Tfly birds in the Thomson fleet now and they cover part of the Tuifly Nordic program in the winter as well as the UK operation hence the reason the ex FCA birds are covering most of the UK flights.

TUIfly is also dropping the .com on their fleet arnt they? The newer TUIfly planes dont seem to have it.
Apparently the whole TUI Airline group are still trying to push even further away from seat only sales and focus further on their in-house tour operators. They have achieved this well over the past couple of years or so but the removal of the ''.com'' from the livery is also another reason for this.
Obviously, Thomson Airways could be seen as an exception to this as it has a totally new name compared to the rest of the group.

Yes, they are standardising the livery fleet to just show Thomson in the the TUI livery as Thomsonfly.com no longer exists.
