Possibly - though there was 8 large biz n/s, plus a private 738, an extra BA night stopper as well as the full complement of summer based a/c. I thought it was meant to be a bad year for grouse??

It is for the ones they shoot!! |

Interesting they didn't send them down the road! Must be cheaper than Farnborough! Perhaps ground servicing might be an issue.

Regarding the ashcloud, at one point jet2 had 20 aircraft on the deck up here!! Also remember the BA invasion? Some photo opportunity that was :ooh: |

At least it’s related to the thread and not some made up nonsense.. Then note that that there is no further speculation regarding profitability of the route and that they should have kept it going blah blah blah. further there is then no follow up saying well if they based another aircraft and opened up routes to Lisbon, Munich and Madrid for example they would make a killing. Where’s the non sense Jonny?? more than happy to discuss the demographics of the north east, Brexit, the effect of Airport departure tax, business models, etc etc on the airport anytime you wish 😀 and perhaps there is no need to swap Tui 737’s as they are so reliable unlike the subject matter discussed above. |

Unfortunately under normal circumstances you can’t just stick aircraft anywhere, the ash cloud was a slightly different set of circumstances. Reet, I'll get off me soapbox (and retreat to a safe distance). |
The ash cloud also happened in late April / early May at a time when the Summer program wasn’t in full swing so there was extra parking stands anyway as well as extra stands available due to many cancellations by other airlines. Not once that I can remember were any aircraft parked in Taxiways or run up areas. I’m fairly sure the airport will have various heath and safety regulations as well as potential insurance issues that go against parking anywhere other than designated parking stands other than in exceptional circumstances.
On Thursday night / Fri morning there wasn’t a spare parking stand in sight thanks to the extra business jets, the Stobart that didn’t return to ORK due weather, the extra BA night stopper at the moment and the EZY TLV-MAN diversion that came in the early hours! |
Out of interest..that gulfstream didn’t bother to come back,it went to Carlisle the next day..oh well... |
TUI have added a Thursday NCL - CFU from next summer according to their schedule, leaving at 0600hrs. This brings the Corfu route up to 4 days a week with various airlines. Good news for us as we use the route 6 times a year. Anyone know what it's replaced?
