The 757 exit plan hasn’t been made public since the MAX grounding, however I think it would be fairly suicidal to be disposing of a fully crewed fleet of serviceable aircraft whilst the MAX still doesn’t have a return to service date (or the confidence of crew and passengers), and an expansion of 10-11 lines of flying is planned for next Summer. |
CPEV is next to go to China as a freighter following OOBG. No final plan for AW to go as yet.

Thanks for the 757 updates chaps - - Incredible back in the day Britannia AW owned almost the whole alphabet on 757-204's G-BYAC - BYAY
plus 3 ex Air Hollands' too G-OAHF/I/K and an Icelandic G-BTEJ all of which were operated from the start of BY 757 ops from around 1990 Just wondered how they (TUI) are left with only one -204, G-BYAW? |

When Thomsonfly and First Choice merged to form Thomson Airways, they gradually disposed of all of the older TOM 757 and 733/738s, as well as all of the FCA Airbus fleet and older 757s. The G-OOB* series 757s are younger (especially BC/BD/BE/BF) and so these were retained. |

As I recall, Britannia took on an ex-Monarch 757-2T7 during the 1990s. I remember one of their engineers saying it had steel brakes, which the -204s didn't.

aaah BTEJ... I went on that particular 757, always recall the safety card was unique because of the different overwing exits. and had BTEJ marked all over it. |

Does anyone know why Nordic 763 SE-RNC is operating tonight’s TFS-ABZ? The SWG aircraft that flew the outbound is currently flying to an unknown destination. |

Thankyou, rog747. I couldn't remember if said 757 had been re-registered in the BYA sequence.

Yes, 757 BTEJ had 4 overwing exits rather than doors at 3L/R, and was iirc based at GLA?

Yes, G-BTEJ was TF-FIJ of Icelandair on lease, based at GLA in my schooldays in the summer of 1991. God I feel old....
Britannia also had around 3 x Air Holland 757's on lease until their own -204's started to be delivered in 1991 All of these 757's that were on lease were fully painted up in Britannia colours. My pal just went out and back last week LGW to Antalya on a TUI 757 - I was very jealous - He did a very nice video of it taxiing in at AYT with 2 or 3 other TUI 757's all lined up on the ramp there in the warm evening - Love that noise of the RR E4's when they spool up....sigh We shall miss them when they are gone as their Mission capability is way and beyond anything else... |

Never understood as to why she was given a G-BYAx Reg when she was on lease from MON...
There was also G-BXOL which was an odd ball reg in the fleet in the 90’s. |
