G-TUIC flew MAN-PMI first thing this morning but hasn’t moved since. Anyone know why? |

I flew on G-TAWO recently, and whilst boarding, I noticed that the words “Operated by Thomson Airways” were to the right of the forward door. I found this a bit surprising, considering they have been officially called TUI Airways since late 2017. I flew on this same aircraft in January and can’t remember seeing this (although it may well have been there). It actually made me wonder whether this is legally/technically incorrect or am I overthinking it? Regardless, I feel it should probably have been removed/updated by this point, unless they are reverting to an official name of Thomson Airways (seems very unlikely)? |

Probably still on there from operating on behalf of Sunwing a few winters ago, when it was "wet leased" rather than transferred to the Canadian register?

Flew home on G-FDZS (unfortunately) and it instead had “Operated by TUI Airways Limited” by the door. Clearly G-TAWO simply hasn’t been updated. |

What was unfortunate about said aircraft? Did it get you home safely? |
Anyone know why FNC-EMA was diverted to DSA today? Didn’t appear to be any other EMA-bound flights diverted. |
Few move arounds this afternoon , Newcastles G-TAWO went to DSA to operate a flight whilst G-TUID flew up to pick up the NCL-HER , Nice upgrade for those who had to wait around.

September leases
I posted on the BHX thread at the end of July that the BHX base sees a drop of one aircraft which was not originally planned amounting to 16 flights a week (2 were planned) and Manchester sees around 25 flights fewer than August and Gatwick around 40 although I am not sure what was originally planned at these other two bases.
Is this a case that both the Greek A321's (BHX & MAN) and the Estonian A320 (BHX) are leaving with BHX getting one TUI aircraft from another base as replacement? Pete |
Anyone know what’s up with G-TAWC? Flew BRS-LTN on 16 Aug and hasn’t moved since. I can’t imagine it would be planned at this point in the summer so is something pretty serious wrong with it? It seemed to be operating pretty normally prior to leaving BRS. |

Was G-TAWY ever actually operated?

AW is still flying ? It was a heap of dung when I retired some seasons ago ! |
If I remember correctly (I departed 2 years ago) BYAW is owned outright by TUI Airways. So, probably will stick around and be the last B757 to leave the fleet after all the leased ones. Its still young at 24 years old compared to the Jet2 757s.

Can anyone shed any light on what I think is really a rather peculiar operation? On a Sunday evening there are TUI flights from DSA and DUB to ACE which are scheduled to arrive 25 minutes apart. As would be expected, a SWG aircraft operates DUB-ACE and a TOM aircraft operates DSA-ACE. However, every week since June, the DSA-based TOM aircraft always operates the return to DUB, with the DUB-based SWG aircraft operating the return to DSA. On Mondays, the SWG a/c always operates DSA-IBZ-DSA-CFU-DSA under standard BY/TOM codes. The TOM a/c operates DUB-DLM-DUB under “ABR” (ASL Airlines Ireland) codes – this part confuses me most and surely must be the reason for the TOM aircraft visiting DUB? Then on Tuesdays, the SWG a/c operates DSA-REU-DUB and the TOM a/c aircraft operates DUB-REU-DSA, hence returning both aircraft to their respective ‘home’ bases. This swapping happens every week without fail and regardless of delays to the ACE/REU rotations from either DSA or DUB. This was demonstrated yesterday evening when the SWG aircraft didn’t operate meaning DUB-ACE-DSA was postponed until tonight. The TOM aircraft operated DSA-ACE-DUB as normal and is now operating the aforementioned after its weekly Monday DUB-DLM-DUB flight. It remains to be seen whether the SWG will be positioned back over to DUB tonight or tomorrow morning, or if a TOM aircraft will position over only to swap back to DSA at REU. |
Minutiae - love it!!
This is NOT a sarky reply.
I love the minutiae detail of Operations like this and Jet2. I'd like to know too. |
Probably something along the lines of the SWG aircraft is still US registered and they are not permitted to fly UK/Ireland to Turkey - so they need a UK registered a/c to operate DUB-Turkey - and this is the simplest way of swapping the aircraft around.

As I said, I reckon it has something to do with the DUB-DLM-DUB being operated as ABR flights on a TOM aircraft but have no idea why. |
