Primera Air
The few weeks between Easter and the start of the summer schedule - first week in May - have always been rather quiet. I think they call them shoulder weeks in the travel trade with the end of the ski season and before the start of the proper summer schedule but I have said before I have real worries about Primera out of the UK already having to sub in aircraft. I fear the worst.

Not sure if it helps but I have seen a pic of the National B752 (great livery) but no Primera titles arriving at STN yesterday on the Stansted Aviation Google Group forum...
Not sure I can put addresses here but a normal search will find access to the forum.

This is true but last summer yields were weak even in school holidays, and even with the loss of Monarch I’m not seeing much evidence this year is any different.

Two different powerplant manufacturers involved in the Airbus/neo programme.
Most of the issues concerning neo engines appear to surround the P&W powered fleets.
Primera Air neo`s are powered by the CFM LEAP-1A engine.
CFM have mainly suffered production delays with deliveries but not I think with the issues you are representing.

On a more positive note the inaugural Primera Air service to EWR was airborne from STN a little while ago...albeit "roller" powered!!...

A21N's
However the Primera seat-map shows the 738 on BHX-AGP 14 May.
There are a couple of good sites showing the Airbus production lists and the second A321 NEO has nothing against it but only 4 later MSN's have been delivered (2 x Air India, 1 x Frontier and 1 x Pegasus - all 320 NEO's) but unfortunately there are quite a few earlier builds that haven't been delivered. The third NEO has notes against it "spotted at XFW without engines installed 30 March!
Some of these Google sheets claim to be updated every 5 minutes.
A log on another site shows the second one was noted at Finkenwerder on 23 April but it did not say whether engines were installed.
170 inbound from Newark to Stansted on the NEO apparently this morning.

Thank for the info Pete, I see CDG are launching with a B767, it’s hard to keep track on what going on fleet wise with primera but with BOS and YYZ launch date fast approaching and not forgetting BHX I guess we have some interesting times ahead.
I hope things run smoothly from hear on in.

Alex Macheras ''aviation expert'' 
OK well they have children now doing Reg Turnbull's job

indeed - at least SC has earned his blue peter badge and walked the walk - Alex M is a spotty rich Essex kid who sits in his bedroom all night playing flight sim and vlogging - he's the most tedious millennial snowflake of the highest order BUT he gets the best gig tickets in town LOL how?!!!

He literally trades on being an "aviation analyst" which if that's not fraudulent I don't know what is. Mummy's money opens doors it seems.
In all seriousness, with Paul Mason at C4 going all revolutionary leather jacket, the level of "expertise" available to the media is very low, it's appalling that someone as unskilled as Macheras is their go-to guy.
Is he on pprune I wonder? anyone know?
