This RTW originated in the USA so pax had to go back there to disembark - Orlando SFB Most 757 RTW tours start in the US or somewhere in the EU Marrakesh and the Azores were part of the itinerary The 757 can do SFB-BHX empty non-stop (and MAN and GLA but LGW is a push) TCS Captains Choice Nat Geo and Abercrombie and Kent are some of the upmarket tour operators that charter a 52 lie-flat or 80 all business class seat fitted 757-200 - TOM/BY and TCS have their own dedicated 757's - Monarch used to... Don't know what will happen when TOM/BY get rid of the 757's - maybe Titan may pick this RTW work up.... |
.....thanks for the insight Rog!

This will depend. They might not like the sound of G-TUME, or G-TUMI. Airlines don’t use every letter for aircraft registration, mainly the letter Q, TUI haven’t used G-FDZI either and Other airlines are the same. It depends what they like or want. |
G-TUMA is not really attractive either.

Looks like GLA has now become a 737 base as of this week with the 757 positioning down to MAN and the 737 positioning up to GLA. All flights for the next week scheduled on 73H. |
I see that G-OOBH flew from Man to St Athan this morning, Jethro's mentions that March is when it is expected to leave the fleet, do you think it has happened?

BOH-NPL has been dropped for S19 but is still on sale for S20.
Anyone know why they have done this for S19? Is it anything to do with Ryanair's new Naples flights from Exeter? |
There is comment about this issue on the BOH thread

BOH-NPL has been dropped for S19 but is still on sale for S20. Moral of the story - don't make up IATA / ICAO codes!!! |

That's a new destination for me; New Plymouth on the north island of New Zealand. Did the flight go non stop??

Yes OOBH flew its last revenue flight for TUI yesterday.
Selling on or worn out? |
Not yet 20 yrs old. Jet2 have them still earning good money at 30±. |

I can't see it being scrapped so young. The 757 makes so much money for airlines still that I think a number of airlines would jump at the chance of a younger example.

Correct, however Naples is NAP not NPL, as for reasons why its been dropped this summer and returning in S20 who knows, but your guess due to RYN from Exeter is a possibility.

Yes, it looks like the delivery of G-TUMF probably prompted G-OOBH's withdrawal. Obviously the lease will be ending but they certainly got their use out of it. Operated MAN-HRG-MAN on the 4/3, landed after 10pm and left for DGX early on the 5/3. G-TUMG now also delivered but currently having its initial time in BRU. Surely this isn’t going to happen with all MAX deliveries from now on? I know it was initially because crews in BRU were experienced with the MAX but TOM now have six of their own. Also, SE-RFX positioned to LTN and has now finally been re-registered as G-TAWY. Wonder if it'll be painted soon... |
G-OOBG is due to be WFU when G-TUMG is ready.
|
G-CPEV I believe is also due to go this Spring according to Jethro
