I understood it to be 322, however I have seen reports showing loads of in excess of 350. Any clarification would be appreciated.

A332 OY-VKF seating capacity is indeed 322 and is one of the aircraft with lower deck lavatories downstairs and has a premium cabin at the front
A333 OY-VKG, OY-VKH & OY-VKI have a seating capacity of 372 (for UK operations) and have all-economy cabins

A lot of airline/airport system show total load/pax including infants on laps. This might be why you are seeing a total greater than the number of seats.

I was aware of that but thank you for reminding me, and others, of the possible reason. I just think that around 30 infants is rather a higher than expected number.

It’s 10% of the total pax load.
So on a 321 it’s 220 people and 22 infants.

Many thanks for the responses with regards to the A332 seating question.

Two Wamos 744's are operating for TCX at MAN today. Is there problems with the A330 fleet?

The only other issue I can see is G-TCXD was due in service at some point Jun 19 so if this was supposed to be early June then a late EIS must be causing issues.

Also a Privilege Style 767 operating from LGW as well.

at least the doom and gloom collapse/ takeover threats seem to have eased in the media. All this leased in capacity can't be cheap though

The airline is officially for sale so the takeover 'threat' is actually very true.

Thats to the cover for the WOW 321 which we are not not receiving until Winter because the WOW administrators are keeping it.

Wamos at GLA, 744 covering A330 to CUN.
For passengers not sure if thats a good swap or not ?!

SJL26779 22nd Jun 2019 18:28

Wamos Glasgow to Cancun flight still hasn't left yet, even though it positioned to Glasgow from Manchester this morning. Does anyone know why these Wamos flights are always delayed? Those passengers must be fed up

Must have gone tech like our Wamos Flight did the other week from Orlando.. worst flight I’ve ever been on in my life... must be costing Thomas Cook thousands with all this sub chartering and delays..

Just bad luck on an ageing 744. Major technical issue with fuel pump and leak and not going anywhere. Pax never boarded and sent home! As this is already a subcharter suspect thats it and a rebook required. Wont be a free large widebody handy... Though what about a HiFly A380 given GLAs new A380 status?!


mark1484 23rd Jun 2019 07:15

Looks like OY-VKI is also on its way to GLA from MAN and another Wamos B747!

lurkio 23rd Jun 2019 08:25

Bring back the days of the MYT DC10 waiting on the ramp at MAN for this sort if thing to happen.

SJL26779 23rd Jun 2019 08:33

OY-VKI and EC-MDS were both sat on the tarmac at MAN all day yesterday when the GLA-CUN flight was delayed. Were there crew shortages that prevented them from flying these up to Glasgow?

Looks like the insurers are anticipating the break up of the group, wonder what this means for the airline(s)

G-TCXD
 
TCX newest A330 G-TCXD is en route to Manchester. Anyone have any ideas of it's planned routes over the next few weeks?
