I think you're right. Operating charter flights is different to scheduled so certain countries they can't sell seat only. Within the EU (for now...) they can sell as they wish. However, for example, I doubt (haven't checked) they have the rights to sell LGW-PQC flight only.

Thanks to you and Skyhawk for pointing this out. I stand corrected.

Does anyone know the MAN schedule for the short haul 787 and 767’s? I’m going to IBZ on 29th June and was wondering if I’d catch a wide body or 757 at the very least.

Thanks

Flightmapper would suggest its a 767.


When you book online it will tell you if its scheduled to be a 787, even for short haul. For example on a Friday from Manchester, Menorca and Bourgas are due to be operated by the 787.

TUI in the last few years has operated a 1x weekly ski charter between Gatwick and Fagernes in Norway. Based on news reports in Norway, the future of Fagernes airport is somewhat uncertain beyond 01-Jan-2019

Are TUI just sitting on the fence at the moment waiting to see what happens, or have TUI taken a decision not to operate Gatwick-Fagernes for winter 2018/2019 ?

Travelling from Manchester on the 787 in June, how has the building work affected TUI flights? are they using remote stands for early morning departures?

Thanks

Danny

The first few weeks of season changes things like this happen due to FR24 picking up on old flight numbers ando codes. You will find that the LTN - AGP has a new flight code for this summer

in a few weeks time all will be back to normal

Does anyone know what's going on with the Cardiff/Pafos situation? G-TAWB was very late (8 hours late) going out to Pafos last night, arriving in the early hours of this morning. G-FDZD positioned ABZ-CWL last night to cover today's flights, but as of yet, G-TAWB still hasn't moved from PFO. That's one hefty delay (I assume there will be passengers since it's the second week of the season now, plus PFO generally runs prior to the summer season starting anyway), and ABZ is now without an aircraft for tomorrow.


EDIT: G-TAWB has finally left PFO for CWL, 21 hours later than scheduled.

Broken wind shield from what I'm told. Crew then only able to operate one way due to working hours so nightstopped in PFO. Nothing out of the ordinary. Charter Airlines don't tend to cancel flights so it benefits to still operate one way if the crew are still in hours.

I see that G-TUIM has now been delivered to MAN on fly BY562 from PAE on the 17th may, will it now be used for the longer long range flts.

Yes shared with LGW which will have 3 and MAN 1

Anybody know whats going on with TUI at EMA I thought it was a 737 only base but for the last two days a 757 has been based there and operating some of the flights.

I have not seen any evidence of any of the 737 going sick so may be planned.

Does this mean LTN will go back up the 3 based aircraft next year?

Cardiff, Luton and Doncaster will all have 3 based aircraft from 2019.
