Today supposedly, although have been dribs and drabs released over the past few months.

Sunwing arrival
 

See the first of the 5 to be UK based for Summer 2019 is on it's way
C-GNCH routing to Norwich via Aberdeen
does anyone know who carrying out the maintenance on these whilst over here
was Monarch engineering last couple of seasons

Last summer, Monarch Engineering looked after the Sunwing 737 at Leeds Bradford Airport. Both are now gone from LBA but another Line Engineering company, Luftavia, has set up here to look after the SmartLynx Airbus for the next few weeks. Perhaps Luftavia will be doing something similar for Sunwing at Norwich, Aberdeen etc. Pure speculation, obviously.

NWI is sorted by KLM engineering I believe

sunwing
 

cheers for the input
reason why asked who looking after them is it would mean all 5 swapping around during the season to enable each aircraft to pass through Maintenance at what ever airport or company dealing with them, which is good for those needing each one.
As i said they used Leeds as a mini base and all the spares that was brought over were kept there

cheers guys

Titan 757 G ZAPX was used from STN today as its second aircraft.

C-FFPH is in dublin currently.

G-ZAPX was used from STN today although I believe there was only one TOM flight from there today so no other TOM aircraft operating. G-TAWM/N are now based at STN though for tomorrow. C-GFEH has flown YUL-GLA. According to Jethros it's due to be DUB-based so not sure why it's at GLA. Perhaps it'll position over soon. That just leaves C-FYJD (BFS) to come over, although the BFS base usually opens later in the season. This year, all SWG aircraft seem to be fairly young (5yrs or less) and so presumably all have Sky Interior.

G-FDZB and G-FDZG (currently both under Canadian reg) are now the only TOM 738s still on winter lease. G-TAWY remains in the Nordics as SE-RFX.

Its possible that the Sunwing that is in Glasgow is to be based there as there were supposed to be 2 Max8s there as of yesterday

SWG only covering for first 2 weeks then a TUI 757 takes over

I'm sure there's a reason but some bizarre routing today.

G-FDZY flew GLA-DBV-GLA (normal)
G-TAWH flew EMA-DBV-GLA-EMA
Anyone know why this might be? It has resulted in substantial delays at EMA, combined with the fact that EMA-AGP this morning left over six hours late.

G-TAWG also flew CWL-DLM-LGW and now appears to be working from there, leaving CWL an aircraft short, with the 13:35 CWL-ZTH still not having left.

It doesn't look like TOM has enough aircraft for its current schedule. Obviously we knew the lack of MAXs would be an issue but they are leasing to support this. Also, this is by no means the height of summer.

Where will this come from? There have been rumours of lease extensions but it would appear that all 757s due to be withdrawn before summer have been already and no more were due to be.

G-OOBG is still in DGX and G-CPEV at LTN but they've been idle for a while now - surely they'd be back in service by now if the leases were being extended?

Also the 767s are still in Taipei.

SE-RFR is in Manchester as it has just arrived from DBV and SE-RNC is at St Athan but due in MAN today

The UK 767s (G-OBYG and G-OBYH) are in Taipei.

Just because leases may or may not have been extended, does not mean they would be back in service.
Heavy maintenance checks would most likely have been arranged to coincide with the end of leases.
These checks would most likely still be due and would require performing.
Not so easy to rearrange maintenance inputs at short notice, especially now that MAEL is not around to pick up the slack.

The two DBV-GLA flights where cruise pax pick ups.

A further two summer leases for TUI per Jethros.

B738 F-GZTZ from ASL France (based CWL)
B738 OY-JZK from Jettime (based BHX)

BHX therefore having 2 lease Olympus A321's and a leased in 738 as well

Thought BHX getting 1 Olympus as 1 is at Manchester
