For your info from another thread.
Air Atlanta are based in Iceland.Excel are based at LGW.

Excel will operate a fleet of 10 737-800 a/c this summer.The
a/c are completely crewed by excel,both flight deck and cabin
crew.

Other a/c for this summer will include leased a/c from Air
Atlanta.They supply flight deck,we provide cabin crew.

Plan for this summer are as follows

3 x B767-200 2 at LGW 1 at MAN
1 X B767-300 Caribbean ex LGW all year
1 x B767-300 To be added later for India flights
4 X B757-200 2 at Man 2 at LGW

G-SATR will operate NBO flight.Empty in,and after crew rest
departs for LGW.Go and say hello.We are a really freindly lot.

Hope this helps a little

Definitely no winglets on G-XLAH, I'm afraid.

ZS-SJP is coming back from SAA, though, and that does have them.

Yep...

It'll be good to see old Sarah Jessica back with the others.

She's got the best pair of winglets this side of KGS. !!!!!


:E :E :E

Does anyone know if Excel still have a 737 with Miami Air?
Think the rego is G-XLAC, without wingslets me thinks!

Oh Dear!!!
 

I've been away for a while, but I'm glad to see that nothing's changed....You lot need to get a life big time!!!:yuk:

yoohoo sista!

You obviously need to get a life too, otherwise why would you be here?

The Miami Air a/c is G-OXLA. As far as I know we will be operating it again this season. Hopefully in full xl colours this time.

Winglets look "cool" on the 737 but they are a pain when it comes to parking. They increase the wingspan by about 1.5m which mean they don't fit on the stands specifically designed for non-winglet NG 737s and A320 family. Boeing should have designed them so they fold in when on the ground.

G-XLAC / G-XLAD WITH MIAMI AIR, G-XLAE WITH KELOWNA FLIGHTCRAFT (CANADA)
G-OXLA OPERATED BY MIAMI AIR (OWNED BY THEM..?) WILL ALSO BE RETURNING.......

It should have arrived this morning from Boeing Field so whats the scoop winglets or no winglets c'mon the suspense is killing me...........NOT!! :p

GXLAH
 

GXLAH diverted into Prestwick & landed at around 0830z 26/3/04 en-route from Boeing Field to Gatwick. It refuelled and departed about an hour later.
If anyone wants a photo of it [without winglets ;-) ] , PM me & I'll see what I can do !

SJP wont be going or coming anywhere, it was pranged last week. Something about w/s, xwind, rnway departure.
Well you can take the boeing out of africa but you............etc etc.

has anyone got any more info on sjp and whats happening? Is is a major prang? can't be good for ops. I had heared that all a/c were flying all hours possible this summer with no gaps in the programmes.

if ZS-SJP has been pranged, then SA must be sending another. JP isnt the only 738 they've got!

Ninafikiri unatoka choo.

I do have a piccy of XLAH at CVT if anyone is interested.

EGBE

A/c will be ZS-SJG
