wonder if any 787s need any heavier checks over winter so they could finally get a respray, some of those with patched up Thomson paint overs look a right old mess. Though they probably hope with airbridges the standard punter won’t notice… you know what they say… ‘dirty house….’

Yeah flew of WX just over a month ago and its a right mess where the patches have been put over. The 788's are really looking worn out now some are around 10 years old they are desperate for a lick of paint.

That's correct. As it stands, there will be no more exchanges with the long running Sunwing seasonal agreement. Westjets plan is to fully integrate the Sunwing airline brand into theirs by the end of next summer at the latest.

Thought TUI & Air Enter were creating a JV called Fly4 as a vehicle to do the leased in aircraft and are starting the process of hire of crews already?

currently no 788 departures are showing for NCL on a Wednesday or Thursday, so aircraft goes to Manchester for those 2 days.
NCL 788 schedule:- Monday:- Cancun, Tuesday:- Orlando, Wednesday/Thursday:- no departures, Friday:- Cancun, Saturday:- Orlando, Sunday:- Dalaman & Antalya
NCL 788 schedule:- Monday:- Cancun, Tuesday:- Orlando, Wednesday/Thursday:- no departures, Friday:- Cancun, Saturday:- Orlando, Sunday:- Dalaman & Antalya

Although the BHX base moves to 12 aircraft seats are slightly down due to the 787 loss, there is still no Almeria so rather adding routes they are reducing them whereas Jet2, Ryanair and easyjet are going in the other direction. Obviously suffering at BHX but I suppose there had to be one loser with increase from the others (Ryanair movements are down S24 but full schedule not released and it looks like one extra aircraft is likely or more away based).

I meant summer 2023 - so two a week in 2024 would be a reduction, with the Sunday MLB flight replaced by the Turkish flights.. It's also probable that the 788 is based for summer 2024 - just because it does a couple of days of flying away doesn't necessarily change that. Presumably 'based' will be down to where the crew are located.

don’t think that is correct. Our return flight from PVR to MAN this summer had a GLA based crew. I was talking to one of the cabin crew who described how her allocation of flights works. Fly from GLA to CUN, then domestic flights to PVR, PVR to MAN, then ground transport back to GLA.
I think NCL also has a long haul crew based but not 100% certain.
