Have TCX had aircraft issues in Bodrum in the last few days?

2 Antonov 12 cargo aircraft have flown MAN-BJV in the last 24 hours with "Thomas Cook Cargo" on board.

Assuming it's a tech problem, rather than scheduled cargo or baggage.

an A320 G-FTDF needed an engine change,

Cheers. Surprised that 2x An-12 were needed as I thought you could pretty much put an A320 engine plus all kit on the one machine.

I did see a TCX A330 today with a blank rudder and wondered if that was related... obviously not.

Seen a post over on Airliners.net regarding the TC BFS - REU yesterday about sending 200 pax to Dublin, being told there would be a plane in Dublin for them and when they got there nobody knew anything about it and the airport was closed.

What happened was TC planned to use an Aircraft from another base to fly to Dublin and bring the Pax to Reus. This was planned. The pax left BFS on 5 coaches for dublin at half 2 r so but by the time they got to dublin it had been announced that dublin was closing from 7pm. While yes they may have made their departure slots which was 18.50pm they wouldn't have been able to return to Dublin or Belfast so the decision was taken to delay the flight even further until today. Pax have all now arrived in Reus and the return journey is complete. The plane is away to Dalaman. They're asking for peoples jobs over on airliners.net over this. Totally out of TC control. They tried to correct a situation and they plans got cancelled. My mum was on the return flight 2nite and she couldn't fault the reps in REUS.

Who's jobs....??

God?? it is an act of god after all....

some people are pathetic they really are.....

If you look at the thread on airliners they are hardly calling for someones job!

hi anyone know what aircraft is doing 275 from manchester to heraklion fri 21st 8.30pm.

Conti onepass, it should be a Boeing 757-200. :ok:

cheers mate.

TCX 757 had a Hard landing in Kos last night.. Estimating back into GLA 15 hours delayed...

Ouch...

GLA was an A/C down this morning... some Lucky PMI pax were lucky enough to get G-WJAN which has awesome legroom (187 config)

any new addtions to TCX fleet soon?

Nice to see both 753's at GLA for a change, alebit for a short period.

JMCF is off now without TC Logos and is it TCAC A320 is joining until November.

Hi guys anyone know why tcx have dropped te premium cabin next year on there long-haul routes..

can presumably make more money from an all economy layout in such a climate, in a similar fashion to withdrawal of IFE on shorthaul

I think you,ll find most charter airlines are dropping premium next year due to the very high APD tax on premium seats being introduced.Not sure if the new government is dropping labours previously announced increases for next year I,d guess not.Will give TOM a major problem as the ex FCA 767s have lightweight floors incapable of taking high density layouts..more good reasons to send them to the scrapyard wingletted or not.

I have used TCX premium to YVR several times recently and would not consider flying economy. If this is genuinely the case and Canadian Affair do not come up with another carrier that offers premium then its back to good old BA WTP for me and my family. Great shame if this is true since TCX premium did exactly what it says on the tin and I never saw it less than virtually full.

Yeah i have used it for 6 years now in a run and although not brillant it was worth paying for thhe extra room .But was told yesterday when we went to look at holidays for next year that it was being dropped by at the charters

This is what we do best isnt't it? Something is good, works & popular.......so we change it :ugh:

bring back Zoom!
