LS have already added a few additional flights before the end of the year. Looks like they’ve got some TFS double days now as well as some additional DLM’s in October.

I am sure someone will come along with the exact rotations.

I am not sure TUI could plug the gaps, it would all be depending on the MAX, and I doubt EZY would base anything else here and FR definitely wouldn’t. I think the best we could hope for would be another 1 or 2 LS based aircraft but, again, it’s dependent on what they can get but there’ll be a few leases on the market for Summer 20 now no doubt.

What’s happened to LHR today. 3 out of 5 cancelled?

I think there was due to be a BA strike today. Maybe a lack of bookings due to that?

Today was meant to be a pilot strike day they cancelled all flights 14 days ago. About 4 days later the pilots union announced they were cancelling the strike. Many pax had already rebooked. BA only reinstated about 50% of there flying schedule.

SX-ABQ has been on the ground for a while now since doing some TCX flights for the CAA. Is this subsequently going to be leased by LS for some of their additional flights? Seems a like a long for it to be here. Almost certain it was there on Tuesday at NCL and it is still here today.

Is the RAC on its way? ;-)
Assume it flew in and landed normally, so how is it broken?

It must be! It could be making some decent dollar on the CAA flights but is still sitting there again tonight!

Girona flights looked to be dropped from all UK airports with the exception of STN for what ever reason.The main reason could be charges to the airline from the airport.

The airport has published the Summer 2020 Timetable on its website......the new Bergen and Guernsey routes are not shown

[Jamesair]

The CAA have published the August stats....but why oh why have they only published the International stats in the single format, leaving out the simple to read version.

Looks like we have a TUI 757 on its way in from Palma. Do you think it’s one of the MT rescue flights?? It positioned out from Glasgow so probably might be

No its just the last of the season BY1361 PMI-NCL as scheduled on a 757 , Its not uncommon to see end of season inbound legs operated by various aircraft as they tend to operate from another base , Few year ago i remember a 787 on the final IBZ-NCL of the summer.

[SWBKCB]

CAA status - selected highlights:

LHR up 1% (399),
AMS up 4.6% (1,366),

With bigger aircraft on the last flight of the season,does the holiday reps take up seats or do they come back to the UK a different way.

I thought 'end of season' was post Half Term holidays.

Well its not ended yet but NCL are down to 2x TUI 737s , Thats why a spare aircraft was picking the last Wednesday PMI up.
