I’d imagaine it will come from MAN/BHX/LGW in future unless the TFS base is opening soon. I asked the same question on here recently but it would appear there is no TFS base this year. The ABZ flight on Sunday was operated by G-FDZR which positioned up from EDI on Saturday and is still there now whilst G-TAWL (coincidentally the one that operated STN-NWI-TFS-NWI-BHX) has positioned up from BHX to EDI for tomorrow’s TFS flight. I’m not sure if LBA, HUY or any others will be served this year. so who knows the plan for winter 2018/19 mark |

Winter utilisation
[QUOTE=ROC10;10305660]It is scheduled to go to BHX again after the NWI flight. Perhaps there will be a "floating" aircraft that will serve ABZ and NWI flights. ABZ are two weekly to TFS (Sun and Wed), the aircraft simply sat idle at ABZ on Monday and Tuesday this week but I guess that's better than positioning flights if there are no revenue flights for it to operate.[/Q
I doubt it would have anything to do at BHX normally except the airport decided to continue to close in November on Friday evenings at 23.10 (in the past in was Monday - Thursday) and TUI had to retime the Marrakech from a 15.55 departure and thus arrival back at BHX after 23.10. Originally the Enfidha aircraft was due to turnaround and operate this flight but now 5 short-haul (2 long-haul) required on a Friday. BHX's decision on closure times in November came well after TUI posted the original schedule. Unusual BHX long-haul schedule for 2020 with the extra Sanford making 8 flights in total thus only one day where 2 x 787's required - could it be a case that it might do some short-haul ex BHX?

With DSA getting a 3rd based short haul Boeing
737-800 aircraft for summer 2019 it looks like TUi are axing the LBA summer based aircraft operation. For the past two years this has being operated by Sunwing Routes from LBA to DLM, AYT, BOJ, PFO, DBV, MAH & IBZ have all being dropped. PMI remains operated 2x weekly along with 1x weekly services to RHO, CFU and VRN. |
There are only so many people in the LBA catchment going on holiday and I think Jet2 is soaking up the demand hence the more sensible decision to build at DSA. To be honest I think DSA may end up being the better airport in the longer run with very good transport links and proposals for far superior infrastructure on the horizon. What is LBA doing in this regard? It's still only connected by a tiny and dangerous country lane!

Not to Shanghai the TUI thread but its always amazed me how Jet2 have retained allegiance to LBA even as they've 'growed like Topsy' to the size they are now - and still growing. LBA does have poor road access for sure, a 'difficult' approach and and a shortish, essentially constantly crosswind runway etc etc. One wonders why they stick with it when just down the road, and available to the same passenger catchment area is DSA ex-RAF Finningley, on the M11 and with an in to wind runway as long as the M1. 😀 They must have a good deal. |

I think most in the LBA catchment area would consider Manchester their next airport of choice and not DSA. There may be some TUI loyalists who may go to DSA but I would expect only a few and even then many will be won over to Jet2 Holidays camp. After all this has been going on for years, Thomson, as it was, had 1 aircraft at LBA and Jet2 none.. Now TUI's remaining 1 aircraft is about to go/has gone and Jet2 have over 15 - this must say something! Monarch made a reasonable go at LBA until they ceased business so I would fully expect another operator to start up at LBA. It is huge catchment area, Leeds alone has a population of 750,000, plus cities like Bradford, Huddersfield, etc. Additionally LBA is about to expand its terminal, a new access road is planned and a Park and Ride and station with a 10 minute journey into Leeds is all planned for the next few years. TUI may well rue the day they finally left LBA!

Maybe TUI were expecting this to happen much sooner. I'm pretty sure everyone wanted the park and ride to be fully operational by now, but just as comical as the 3rd LHR runway, it's paper pushing at its finest. I don't blame TUI for saying enough is enough and moving elsewhere.

Sunwings use Monarch engineering at Leeds hence them changing during the season, and i know when they come over drop spares at Leeds Brakes for one for Norwich lol what happens here if this is the case also will 4 be needed I dont think Humberside was operated this year unlike before Mark |

The best information so far re Bristol is the quote in post 358 "737-MAX start to arrive next month, and will start to replace the 757s, particularly BRS and GLA by summer 19" The 788 is still showing of course on BRS-SID and BRS-DBV as well as the two Cancun and one Sanford flight. Pete |
I thought that the Maxs were going to LGW,MAN and BHX first in summer 19 as they more crewed trained up on them than GLA and BRS
|
If any spare TUI/Thomson/Britannia aircraft should emerge from the melee that is the introduction of the MAX, please dispatch to LBA forthwith. Anything - Britannia, 707, 732...
|
As far as I am aware MAX are Manchester based until at least May next year but will operate to DSA and NCL a couple of times a week
|
First Max
The first Max is due into BRU either today or tomorrow.:ok:
|
G-TUMA delivered today although I have some questions. Why was it delivered to BRU? Does anyone know why it is named “Kittila”? And are they planning on naming all of them? |

Is any expansion planned for BOH in S20? I note that Exeter has already announced a new winter 19/20 route and DSA has announced a new S20 route already but nothing apparently for BOH yet rumour abounds about additional aircraft in S20 including potential long-haul services.

Does anyone know who has picked up FDZA? I searched the thread but didn't see a mention other than it was WFU. I see it went to AUH on 1st Oct has since done a 2hr test flight whilst being there and is now on it's way to SNN.
Same fate for ZJ? Cheers! |
G- FDZA was noted in Jeju Air cols last week at AUH
|
G-BYAW flew to SNN on the 11th November and hasn’t flown since, anyone know why? Also, does anyone know what happened yesterday with the 757s and TFS flights? Last Tuesday, G-BYAY flew MAN-TFS-GLA and G-OOBN flew GLA-TFS-MAN despite these flights being a few hours apart meaning the inbound TFS-GLA had left before the outbound GLA-TFS even arrived. Yesterday, G-BYAY flew GLA-ALC-GLA but then didn’t go to TFS as scheduled. G-OOBN flew MAN-TFS-BRS and G-OOBA flew BRS-TFS-GLA-MAN (seems just to be a regular swap since the MAN aircraft seems to return to GLA and vice versa and it must’ve just gone to MAN since BYAY was sitting at GLA anyway). G-OOBF flew BRS-GLA-MAN-TFS-MAN. Presumably this was supposed to be the outbound GLA (albeit significantly late) but seemed to stop at MAN on the way out (crew change maybe?) and then the inbound MAN (again very late). The only explanation I could think of for last week was that GLA may be closing earlier (or having runway works or something)? But doesn’t explain the apparent disaster that was yesterday. I guess BYAY must’ve gone tech but it’s a very confusing situation nonetheless. |

G-TUMA delivered today, flying BRU-MAN and MAN-MAN earlier. Does anyone know why G-TUIB and G-TUIC are currently flying to Muscat from BHX and MAN? The BHX flight was meant to leave at 10:30 but only left twelve hours later at 22:29 unless it was meant to be scheduled for 10:30pm? The MAN flight left pretty much on time at 23:15. Looks like MCT were also expecting a flight from LGW at a similar time to the BHX but this doesn’t appear to have materialised. |
Possibly cruise flights
|
Looks like the cruise flights have caused some issues with those delays, there's a 9L A332 (Jet2 logo'd) operating the Friday BHX-CUN rotation today. Unless this was scheduled for other reasons?
|
The cruise ship was late, so the flights were delayed to meet it.

I am trying to find short haul flights to book with TUI for S19 to/from Greece, that are operated with 767 and 787 but the problem is that dummy bookings on their site do not give you beforehand info about the a/c operated..(unless it's op by Norwegian which we know is 737). You have to pay first and then on check-in oyou find out..which is weird because when i tried to book it gave me the option to pre-book a seat but seating plan would not open,it just said pre-seating selected..Is there a way to be able to know what a/c will be operated on certain flights? I dont wanna book for a 767 and get a 738..although i wouldn't complain about a 757..Oh and seat-guru says their 757s seat 235 but Tui site says 221..So which is it?

And no flights out of LGW (where I assume you're looking at, given your mention of Norwegian) will be on the 767
|
Confirmed that more flights from LBA are to be suspended. Only PMI and CFU remain on top of the cruise flights
Customers offered refunds or transfers to MAN/DSA |
757 are 221 seats, 2 have 223

G-TUMB is due to be delivered next week but again to BRU. Will this be the case for all new aircraft now or is it only for the first few MAXs? The future G-TAWY has also been sitting at MAN since the 30th November but needs re-painted, will this be happening at MAN? Future G-TAWX (does not need re-painting, only reg etc.) is still operating in Nordics but due later this month. Am I right in my belief that TUIfly Nordic is all but shutting down completely? https://standbynordic.com/tui-abando...arter-flights/ If so, what will happen to their other remaining aircraft (1x738 and 1x7M8)? |
G-TAWV now on its way MAN-KEF to rescue passengers. |
