Lets hope they don't charge them for anything on board. We knew a couple who were evacuated under similar circumstances several years back and flown home by Thomas Cook (I think????) and were charged for everything including bags, food and drink. Which considering the circumstances was a tad harsh as the evacuation was ordered by the FCO and TA's.
Hats off to Thomson for a timely response.

Just to put you in the picture and lift the tempo back up. Virtually all the crews, would not have been on standby and will have given up their days off. What little standby cover their is, will not cover deep night flights.

I've also seen a Facebook group for another airlines crew where there were quite a few crew members saying they had made themselves available on days off. Situations like this really bring people together and people will offer any assistance they can.

To put it clear. Don't think there was any standby cover.The company , which had a difficult decision to make yesterday evening to repatriate an unknown number of volantary passengers back to the UK and organised 10 aircraft. In the end we had more than enough capacity. Today looks like another seven aircraft are going out. This has and will cause knock on delays to the schedule over then next three days.

As Orion23 has confirmed no crew were on standby that operated the relief flight they were all on leave and included some staff who had actually done 2 sectors early Fri am so came straight off rest to work brilliant team effort.
Luckily there does not seem to have been many knock on effect to these relief flights although I hear crewing were quite short for standby duty this morning.
Sundays flights may be a little different though as a little worry that ground agents at NBE will be able to cope with amount of aircraft arriving in short space of time along with normal traffic along with some aircraft on tight turnarounds .
There is also a couple of aircraft swaps two with I believe LTN being changed from 738 to 787 and NCL swapping to 767 for extra capacity

Yeah I found that on an Internet search and g-info hence the useful information needed. The arkefly is useful.
Knowing that there is some capacity within the tui group why would they go to an outside vip charter company?

Dreamliner delays
I see that there are several heavy delays on Dreamliner flights returning to UK today.
G-TUIE is arriving into NCL over 26 hours late. G-TUIA arriving into Gatwick over 4 hours late. G-TUII arriving into EMA over 2 hours late.
Does anyone know reason for the heavy NCL delay?
Also where is G-TUIB? Not been seen for a few days.

G-RAJG's default config is high-density and gives them more potential for near-Europe subs. They've also been covering for Monarch recently.
