Possibly as they are basing one in Crete for their new Greek subsidary Viking Hellas next summer.
Maybe for their new contract in Poland ???

Let's see, we've got Boeing 737-800s, routes, slots and tour operators that are not dissimilar to a certain other carrier that used to be based at LGW.

Tell you what, let's get some knackered old 767-300s and flog them back and forth to Florida and possibly the Caribbean to complete the picture.

They had better get themselves sorted because this winter is going to be very tough for everyone, especially startups. I wouldn't put a penny in any of these new ones until March at the earliest.

Viking Airlines U.K : Summer Fleet Base's

Does anyone know the final fleet plans for the summer season, i.e how many of each aircraft are going to be based at which airport?
They seem to have an increased flight program across the UK this summer which must be good, working for various tour operators. Obviously the main bases being Bristol, Gatwick and Manchester these extra flights will operate on part-based or W flights from these airports i guess.

I believe there will be at least 8 737 aircraft in the fleet for the summer, 5x 738 and 3x 733. Correct me if i'm wrong though!


Cheers

I'm not entirely sure, but i'm taking a guess its going to be a very similar thing to how XL operated. The aircraft was based there and operated charter flights mainly to UK regional airports over the summer, as well as (even more likely in Viking's case) to other airports around Europe. As LCA to UK routes are quite long in length when combining each way, it helps free up aircraft based in the UK for example to use on other routes while helping them have an increased market share on the LCA route.

As for aircraft based in the UK for the summer, i'm guessing; MAN = 1x 738 (maybe 2?) and 1x 733, BRS = 1x 738 and LGW = 2 738 and upto 2x 733 ?

Well I guess that could mean, that those flights to Europe could mainly include Germany, maybe helping XL airways Germany out...
