We will have to wait to see what happens I can't see them using 3x A321 all week maybe the odd days
maybe they will be able to use other carriers for odd flights like AEA does the PMI flights for TUI so they aren't using another carrier under the TCX brand

Is that a 'normal' practice to fill in schedules and aircraft requirements this way?
Ignoring preparation times for the flight deck crew -
MAN-NCL say 1 hour f!ying time
NCL-ACE a good 4 hours
ACE-NCL same again.
NCL-MAN an hour.
All plus turn round times at destinations.
Perhaps someone could give us insight into how all that worked.

Looks like TC have pulled Bodrum for next summer. Edit: And Reus - not suprised at Bodrum but Reus is always popular with families!

Likely a vicious circle for pax though and the airport to an extent - they’ll book on other carriers i.e Jet2 and TUI. But this just drives up the costs which means it’s likely people will travel elsewhere if cost is substantially lower.

Beginning of The End Game for TC?

Either way, Tunisia, a dodgy holiday choice anyway, is completely off the menu now the flight itself has been handed off (to me at any rate) to some second tier 'private' operator.
