aircraft names.
I have found it interesting that ALFIE (TUIB), NEIL (TUIF) and EDIE (TUIM) using some PIXIE DUST (TUIJ) are LIVING THE DREAM (TUIA) by changing the ANGEL OF THE SKY (TUID) into the DREAM MAKER (TUIC) bringing MILES OF SMILES (TUIE) to MR PATMORE (TUIH) and MRS PATMORE (TUII) whilst they enjoyed their holiday.

I see jethros has updated the summer leases today, originally there were 3x leased B38M to be based at MAN, now only one B738 from go2sky. Does that mean more Tui metal at MAN or a reduction in capacity? Seems a big jump

Go2sky don't have any 737Max aircraft. However, Smart Lynx are expected to base 3x 737Max aircraft at MAN.

I am confident, as of this evening that the info I've published on my website is correct with respect of long-term commitments. TUI Airways Leased Aircraft (jethroseu.co.uk)
It does not however take into consideration short term leases TUI Airways continue to take on for very short periods for a variety of reasons. One day leases I ignore, Anything above that I try my best!

It's accepted that seasonal peaks require acmi support in the leisure teavel industry. But when you pay good money and end up on an operator like Smartlynx, even joe public notice the huge difference in quality and service delivery.
Sadly, Avion are still listed which is a sister company of Smartlynx. They had a rather interesting landing recently didn't they.. the kind that has rendered the aircraft grounded since 3rd February.
Perhaps Fly4 will slowly see a reduction in the use of some of the more questionable acmi operators.
I notice Jet2 parted ways with Smartlynx after 2022 after a shocking failure to deliver.

Hi,
We are booked on a TUI flight BHX-KGS, it's showing as a 787-800 on the TUI website, the app shows a 787-300 (which I don't think exists), I was wondering when TUI use a long haul aircraft for a short haul route what do they do with the IFE? Is it just switched off?
Thanks,
Sam
