All Thomson Airways long haul departures ex NCL this summer will be operated by ex FCA 767 aircraft. The airline seems to be concentrating regional long haul departures with FCA aircraft and former TOM ones at the larger bases!

Arrangements are being made for return of Scot Travel Holidays passengers as per their travel arrangements, normal procedure when something like this happens - CAA steps in and organises.

Thanks Transwede, I've just read the update on the NCL website. Mind you, they wouldn't be bothered being stranded, it would just eek out their holiday even more. Just been looking at back up's. TCX have some bargains for this weekend from DLM to NCL.

ScotTravel arent the only ones who use the VIK/SGX flights, Newmarket holidays, and a few others are involved. So I imagine we'll still see Viking and Saga jets coming over the fence this season.
On a similar note, anyone know of any other charters coming in this summer. FreeBird perhaps?
RTG!

The Newcastle Airport website states that the CAA will continue to bring back the people already abroad on flights. Instead of finding replacement airlines, they may have just continued to use Saga until everyone is back in the UK which would explain why the flight is still operating tonight - just a thought!

There should only be Holidays4U customers checking in. Check-in staff would not be allowed to check in Scott Travel holidaymakers. However, during the XL saga, BHX allowed 12 customers to check in and they travelled on a KM flight which was actually an XL route. You would not imagine how much backlash we got from those customers. They had a 737 to themselves. Wouldn't it feel a bit eery on the flight though?
I would imagine a lot of customers have travelled to airports to get their flight today and did not realise that they had gone bust.
To be honest I cannot imagine them making much of a profit. My folks changed their holiday 3 weeks ago and travelled to weeks ago this Saturday, only having paid £106 to change from one week to two weeks. Most of it was admin fee, and about £20 to go towards the under occupancy supplement for the accommodation.

RE SGX/VIK
The night the news broke there was around 120 pax booked, ended up leaving with around 50 pax,
Pax had the option to re pay for the seats with newmarket,
SGX is still going to be ops out of newcastle as planned till the end of the season
