They fit it out with a premium cabin/seats for the predominately long haul flights it operates over the winter.

It returned still in full economy so possibly there for some kind of other maintenance.

Cardiff Aviation seeks investment to turn around MRO business


A five-year contract with tour operator TUI to service Boeing 737s, 757s and 767s was the first under a new strategy of targeting larger, more lucrative airline support agreements.

Any body know what TUI UK a/c are operating in Scandiavia this winter and routes. I see flight mapper are not showing any 2019 flights, any guesses or has Thomson been changed in flight mapper to different category.

Saltburg Closure
I have seen a report that Saltburg is shut for much of May whilst the runway is rebuilt, and I've booked a family party of nine through the airport on TUI on 25 may returning a week later. Any idea please of what is intended for TUI services during the closure?

ZOOMBOY Hazzard a guess - Munich or Linz and 2 to 3 hours on a coach

zoomboy 28th Oct 2018 16:40

Many thanks for quick reply. I can see your logic but as we are going to Zell am See and many package holiday makers will be going south and east of Salzburg, I'm crossing my fingers for Innsbruck, if only to took up at the nearby mountains when still many miles from touchdown.

Is TUI withdrawing LPL-IBZ route for Summer 2019? It was flown on Mondays as LBA-IBZ-LPL-IBZ-LBA.

MAN-IBZ also sees 1 weekly flight less (the Thursday night rotation with the B787).
And I am not completely sure but I think GLA-IBZ also see a decrease of 1 weekly flight for Summer Season 2019 (the Mondays' one, maybe?)

Just wondering if its due to Ibiza Gov belatedly trying to clean its image up and the hardened drinkers and Party Partyers now looking for somwhere else to blight.
Shame though, they screwed it for everyone else who just wanted a nice holiday and Ibiza DOES have some beautiful, less in-your-face resorts. They, like us, went 'elsewhere' and never returned.

The first 757, G-CPEU has been wfu.

738 G-FDZA was also wfu at the beginning of October, with G-FDZJ due to follow soon, making way for G-TAWX and WY as well as the MAXs.

On a side note, I find it a bit strange that some TOM aircaft have already gone to Canada whilst a few Sunwing aircraft are still operating here for TOM.

Winter schedule starts tomorrow I believe, there have certainly been some interesting movements over the last week or so as always at the beginning/end of a season.

Does anyone know why TUI are operating a 787 on an evening rotation of AGP-DSA on Thursday 8th November? It appears to be a one-off and I can't find any information whatsoever as to the pattern, or where it's going afterwards.

It's strange as it's separate to the normal scheduled 737 flight earlier that same day.

Flight number is TOM7483 and I've booked a seat because hell, why not.

Vokes55 1st Nov 2018 15:02

Around this time of year they usually send the cruise ships from Europe to the Caribbean, so it's most likely a cruise charter for one or two of these "positioning" cruises. They'll embark in Malaga and probably disembark in Barbados. These yearly relocations are surprisingly popular, I couldn't think of anything worse than crossing the Atlantic on a cruise ship.

Yeah they’re all gone now. I’ve always found it a bit strange that they send so many of the youngest 737s over there. On that note, G-FDZJ flew BHX-AUH today so presumably is now wfu.

I saw that the NWI-TFS flew today. How are these being operated this year. I know that in the past there has been a based 737 at TFS during the winter operating flights to the likes of ABZ/NWI/LBA/HUY etc. Will there be such a base this year?

P330 1st Nov 2018 19:18

Is there any logic to which 737s head over to Canada or is it random?

Does anyone know the retirement plan for the early 738s in preparation for the impending MAX arrival?

The two oldest 738s (11 years) have been wfu but as far as I am aware these are being swapped with another TUI airline, meaning TOM will receive two newer 738s in their place (we have seen this happen before with TAWP and TAWR being swapped for TAWV and TAWW - that seemed a bit pointless to me). I don’t think there are any real plans for retirement right now, the aircraft are not old. The MAXs will replace the 757s over the next few years before replacing 738s.

TUI to launch flights from LGW to Los Cabos on the Baja California in Mexico. sounds like 2pw given you can do 7/10/11/14n's

Also noted is the Summer 2020 programme due to go on sale on Nov 8th, 4 Months earlier than usual.

Can anyone let me know the new link for TUI uk flights as flightmapper only showing Thomson up to Dec 2018. I know most dep a/f's and destinations but cannot find flight numbers and timings. Thanks for any help.

Wont it all be a bit pointless in the event of a No Deal Brexit if TUI et al can't actually fly to them?
Or do they know summat we don't?
2020 could be the Year of The Staycation.

They know just how scaremongering / negative the media are being and know, as do many others, of a more realistic reality luckily.

"Luckily" ≠ 'hopefully'?? What kind of basis for decision making is that?

No I dont actually but i do wish a bit of common sense would prevail.
IF it did happen , EU will be well aware that these things work both ways. So in the end an "arrangement" will be agreed.
I just wish both sides would grow up and stop all this Brinkmanship - or should that be Brinkpersonship in this modern androgenous world.

Rutan16 3rd Nov 2018 10:55

TUI UK WILL continue to fly outside of the EU whether deal or no including to the Caribbean Mexico and US .

They WILL continue to fly from the UK to the EU as well however their ownership structure may need modifying .

Its highly likely in the event of no deal and aircraft certification problems; This is a Genuine risk we will will see some migration of aircraft registrations to Germany Scandinavia and or Belgium to over come issues in the short term.

TUI Group have options here.

As an airline within tour group operating charters is far less of a problem for TUI than many.

You're wrong. Nobody, least of all the airlines, have any idea what's going to happen. It could all end very badly, hopefully it won't, but to dismiss everything as scaremongering is disingenuous.

interesting article in the times yesterday that c5million people will stay at home next year rather than go abroad in the event of a hard Brexit. amongst other things a plunging exchange rate will make it difficult for
Brit’s to afford it.

on the other hand the Thomas cook share price “surged” on Friday on the hope of a soft Brexit.

as usually loads of contradiction about what will actually happen!






sixchannel 4th Nov 2018 09:51

Oh for H.G.Well's Time Machine to pop forward to 30th March 2019 and see whats actually happening.
We are on holiday in May, no matter what happens, but we have put all thoughts of fly away holidays for later in the year on hold.
If its 'business as usual' on April 1st (good day for it) there'll be a massive internet stampede to get holidays booked.
If its a mess, then Llandudno is going to be busy in 2019. 😀

It's possible that Norwegian could operate it of its a TFS based aircraft.

NickBarnes 5th Nov 2018 12:15

Flight originates from Norwich goes out at 10 something in the morning then returns to Norwich at 8 in the evening I believe

Last week the 737 came in from Stansted did the NWI-TFS-NWI run then went off to Birmingham
before they used a TFS based 737 just wondered what plan this year is
as seems lot of empty movement flights

mark

NickBarnes 5th Nov 2018 12:24

Ah then I presume that's what they have planned to fly the aircraft in from Stansted, but agree that's a lots of empty flights for it this winter even if it is a short hop from Stansted

ROC10 5th Nov 2018 16:44

I doubt it will come from STN every week, it just so happened that they had their second summer aircraft which was due to leave STN anyway. I’d imagaine it will come from MAN/BHX/LGW in future unless the TFS base is opening soon. I asked the same question on here recently but it would appear there is no TFS base this year.

The ABZ flight on Sunday was operated by G-FDZR which positioned up from EDI on Saturday and is still there now whilst G-TAWL (coincidentally the one that operated STN-NWI-TFS-NWI-BHX) has positioned up from BHX to EDI for tomorrow’s TFS flight.

I’m not sure if LBA, HUY or any others will be served this year.

757s will concentrate in BHX/MAN/LGW and LTN for maintenance ease. So all 757s gone by Winter 2021.
Winter 18/19 2 767s will operate Mid Haul/Long Haul from the Nordic region, from Summer 19, the 767s will operate short haul/mid haul only though may end up operating long haul to support the Dubai cruise ships.

2 more 787-9s arrive in autumn 2019 (TUIN/TUIO)
Summer 19 will see all UK 787s based in the UK with 1 standby aircraft, 2 on shorthaul 1 on Mixed SH/LH and 8 UK longhaul operations The two additional -9s bring the UK fleet to 14 airplanes with a further expanded winter 2019 longhaul operation.

The Dutch and Belgian 787s remain with their airlines.
737-MAX start to arrive next month, and will start to replace the 757s, particularly BRS and GLA by summer 19

PDXCWL45 7th Nov 2018 15:25

So Bristol won't have any 757s for Summer 2019?

ROC10 7th Nov 2018 16:52

Will GLA or BRS have any 757s next summer? If not, does anyone know what aircraft these bases will have?

When you say all 787s will be based in the UK, does that mean that 787s currently in other TUI airlines will transfer to TOM?
