Thomson Airways

[Nyerp]

They havn't operated to Alicante from luton for a long time. It looks as though it will be the usual 2x 738 and 1x 757. If you consider that FCA based an a320 there, then the drop is quite significant since they merged. However this seems to be the way things are going at ltn, Mon are also operating less flights, only ezy have more seats available than 2012 on routes such as Malaga and Palma, Tom and Mon have quite a few less. As for 2014 and extra Rhodes and Lanzarote and the sat Ibiza is no longer a w flight.

Thomson will be operating Luton to Skiathos for Summer 2014. The flights operate every Friday.

Hope those new 787 pilots actually enjoy those "short" flights while they can. Pretty soon 8-10 hour flights will be the norm (although the destinations are probably worth it ).

I see G-OOBP has a white winglet, anybody know why? Maybe damage to the winglet.

It might be old news to you but it starts next week so it is extremely relevant!

Thomson seem to be in a pickle at LBA this morning!!

Thomson seem to be in a pickle at LBA this morning!!

Yep it seems Thomson's are back up to there old tricks again at LBA. The based Sunwing Boeing 737-800, C-FLZR positioned out to DUB this morning leaving no aircraft to operate this mornings flight to PMI and RHO later this afternoon.

I understand that a G-FDZW will position in from MAN this afternoon to operate the delayed PMI service but at this moment in time I haven't a clue as to what will operate the RHO flight later....

Reports on another forum is that G-TUIB is ready for delivery but the status of G-TUIA is not clear.

G-TUIA has now had 5 or 6 Customer flights with the latest yesterday.

It was suggested there were some small issues to be ironed out from the previous Customer flights.

C5 or C6 flights are not unknown but usually a C1 or C2 is enough.

Whether any of this affects the delivery dates I don't know.

Thanks for replying I had noticed that TUIA has done more activity in terms of test flights that many other of the 787's at KPAE.

I hope they sort out the issues quickly Thomson don't want any more delays into their flying program.

Ill keep my eyes peeled on here for any updates

Thanks

Wrt Leeds Bradford today I noticed the Palma flight was being listed as boarding buses earlier, the Rhodes flight is listed as cancelled. How can they cancel the flight, won't it have many package holidaymakers booked to be on-board?

[TSR2]

the Rhodes flight is listed as cancelled.

If you look at the Thomson Flights status, TOM3646 is a Manchester to Rhodes flight at 12.00 on Sunday so I would suggest that it appeared on the LBA departure board in error.
