TUI airways-2
another TUI 787 woe
Last nights TUI 787 BY659 CUN-BRS took off at 17.28L and then quickly returned back to CUN after dumping fuel.
G-TUIE was due to ferry empty to NCL this morning -
edit G-TUID will now ferry to NCL to operate today's NCL-CUN
edit - Flaps issue again after take off from CUN - did it the other day too at Punta Cana

that値l be a nice treat for anyone that booked premium economy!
No sign yet of an ACMI wide body 'sub' flying out to Cancun for their collection to get them back to Bristol...
TUI UK have 3 or 4 flights going there from the UK today - maybe some Engineers and parts being flown out>?

My point was that if you asked those passengers whether they壇 like to depart on time but there would be no premium cabin onboard, undoubtedly 100% would say yes. Aircraft swaps happen all the time across all airlines, often a few people miss out on their preferred seats/cabin. It痴 an almost irrelevant point.

S23 is already looking like it is going to be a nightmare. The Aberdeen Sunwing based aircraft is constantly delayed/cancelled (today included).
TUI have to be haemorrhaging money again.

It will be interesting. Sunwing have been a nightmare and were supposed to be gone this year for TUI, so I think they値l definitely be gone in 2024. It値l be really tricky for TUI.

BHX today have had the short haul 788 parked up all day, and hence the Malaga & Larnaca flight have been split on 2 738s, one TUI, one GetJet. Also 1 other GetJet 738 has now operating for TUI from BHX for over 2 weeks, despite at one stage TUI having 2 738's parked up.
I can only presume TUI are woefully short of flight crew or cabin crew at BHX? Anyone have any confirmation of this?
Jethro's excellent website notes that TUI withdrew a 738 (TAWR) in Feb 23, and it has now been registered to Sun Country in the US. A further example has recently gone to Transavia.
Although there may be another explanation (like lease ending) it does seem odd to be withdrawing aircraft in the early months of the year only to replace them with leased equipment weeks later.
It just adds to the impression that TUI have lost the plot!

Many different aircraft being leased for them at LGW too,noticed that over the last few weeks ,both for short and long haul..an Air Tanker 330 has been here for a few days doing mainly short haul,amongst others ,think that is returning to its base tomorrow..Tui seem to be forever shunting their 787 around between bases

More perplexing 787 movements today…
G-TUIH (LH config) had been operating as the GLA-based 787 for a while but, on Sunday morning, after arriving from CUN, it positioned to MAN. It sat on the ground at MAN all day on Sunday and is now (according to FR24) due to position back up to GLA on Monday morning.
Meanwhile, G-TUID (SH config but has been operating LH for the last few days) positioned NCL-GLA on Sunday morning to operate GLA-CUN-BHX, and FR24 is showing it’s due to position to LGW on Monday morning.
Further, G-TUIA, which had been at PIK for a few days, positioned PIK-NCL on Sunday morning to operate NCL-MLB-NCL.
So not only do we have 787s positioning around all over the place, we also have SH aircraft flying LH routes while LH aircraft sit on the ground. One has to believe there must be at least some reasoning behind all of this but I would love to hear what that is.
