The a/c were delivered with tanks fitted and they were removed before entering service or very soon after.
One of the two ACT's will be re-fitted to each of the four a/c, in time for the start of the new ZB SSH service.

2012
BHX has been four based in summer and three in winter for a few years now but for Sundays in 2012 there are at least five required and under the current timings it would actually need six.
However the rest of the week it is just a completely full schedule for four, which tells me some Sunday frequencies are going to be cut or there is more to come. Any one have further information on this?
The 5th is due to the new Avro flights to EFL & PVK which have not been announced by BHX and the latter is a new destination.
Also from an earlier post can BHX expect the A320 for winter as usual? With the amount of flights cut from last winter I thought it might be due to an all A321 operation. Some days only one or two aircraft are required (mainly mid-week).

When 'BE is having its aux tanks fitted, I hope they will refurb the seats (specifically 35DEF) - the most uncomfortable seats I've ever sat in! 'BH didn't seem to suffer from the same problem on our return, although none was as good as Thomson's OOBJ.

So 1 x 320 for DUB then.
DUB declines every year. Pity they don't just grow a pair and set up ZB. Yes FR and EI are there but some routes aren't covered especially those considered charter routes.

Yeah DUB-GIB. There's a huge gap in the market..... for a huge reason of course 
But if you look at EI & FR's routes there still is some wiggle room plus people want good service these days.

Monarch only flies from Ireland because Thos Cook don't want to operate on their own aircraft (there's a clue there). There will be no ZB ops from Ireland.
It's not a case of "growing a pair" just a wish not to commit commercial suicide, I suspect. There's really is some horsesh*t spouted on these forums sometimes.

I might be wrong but one of the 4 A321's that is having aux fuel tanks fitted isnt flying today so I assume they are getting done? Or is it a Tech fault (Sorry if it is a tech fault)
