no the Newcastle Max is to Alicante every Tuesday

No I think you are right!

sunday agp w pattern during summer 2019.

on some thread there is a link to routes online which shows all the max routes this summer.

Are the max bases spreading from north to south so could ncl be next - obviously a very simplistic way of looking at it!

NCL-ALC will run on a MAX during the month of April (presumably on a MAN-based aircraft, either via w-patterns or positioning flights).

NCL-AGP will run on a MAX for the summer starting from the beginning of May (I believe on a GLA-based aircraft).

It would certainly make sense that NCL and perhaps ABZ will be next to see a based MAX.

I was wondering if BRS might have a MAX this summer? I’m booked on a flight that in the last few years has been a 757. The seat map shows extra leg room seats in rows 17 & 18, which I don’t think are on the 738.

No, the MAX 8 has the same rows of extra legroom as the original 737-800

Anyone know why G-TUMA was diverted to CHQ whilst performing HRG-MAN last night? G-FDZR is currently doing LGW-CHQ, presumably to rescue passengers. Guessing it’s a tech fault with the MAX?

Wouldn’t be due to MAN closures as it was due in last night before closures, plus I’m sure it would’ve just diverted elsewhere in the UK and could’ve operated back today if necessary.

Not too sure. The MAX8 was recently repaired, but will find out for you!

Perhaps, but no mention of bad weather or engine vibrations on the page for G-TUMA.

G-TUMA still in Chania a week later...

yes, after an engine problem while flying to Manchester. Still awaiting its new engine before it will be able to take to the skies again.

I've seen this. Correct me if I’m wrong but it doesn’t really tell us any reason or what damage has actually occurred to the engine?

Now en route CHQ-MAN.
