Looks like TUI have dropped Hurghada for S24 with it resuming again in W24. Leaves a spare slot Tuesday and Friday PM

have you got a timetable already worked out which you could post or email me please ?

hopefully it will be something new but most likely more Turkish or Spanish flights

Yes i have mocked a timetable up months ago when S24 got announced and have updated it tonight. AYT all on TUI aircraft now after originally having some 3rd party operations. Some interesting situations that need resolved though like Wednesday Afternoon departures, there is 5x departures in the afternoon but the morning LCA departs 8am so wont return before those 5x PM Departures & Saturday PM showing 6 Afternoon departures on TUI aircraft.

Lots of diversions due wind tonight…anyone explain why a major airport! Like Newcastle can’t seem to accept more than a couple of those diversions …to help partner airlines out?

Not enough stands.

The airport will have its own scheduled services and the staff will be assigned to these flights. There isn't an infinite number of staff for lots of extra flights so a limit has to be set. Obviously in extreme circumstances if you need to land, then you land. Then there is the issue of possible ground transportation for pax and crews to their original destination. Again there isn't an infinite number of coaches etc, especially at night. Drivers are limited by hours so may have worked their permitted number of hours.

Were there lots? Looks like single figures from MAN and LBA, of which Newcastle took it's fair share.

And the answer is the same as it always is whenever the question gets asked.

I’m sure a few years ago..ash clouds days..17 ish JET 2 diversions? Maybe my memory!

BA B747s etc ,Emirates etc..

But wonder on a quiet Saturday night what the reasons are ..that’s all!
Sorry for Fuerteventura to Leeds passengers ..all the way to Edinburgh!

Whatever happened to customer services! Maybe the extra revenue isn’t worth it?

If FR24 is correct, there wer 6 divs from MAN and 5 from LBA - NCL took 3, EDI 2, LHR 2 (including the MAN SHT returning), EMA 1, STN 1 (G-NEWG returning) MAN 1 (KLM from LBA!) and LGW 1 (a Lufty), so NCL took more than anywhere else and airports nearer than NCL took less (though LPL and EMA had similar winds).

Exceptional circumstances such as the ash cloud are different, as ezyBoh has explained.

FR shows EDI took 4 Leeds diverts, and a SK CPH-DUB earlier the day

Yes, three late evening RYR divs from LBA after my original post.

EDI also took a Jet2 from FUE-LBA, NCL didn't take the most diverts in the end, in fact EDI did.

The Albastar PMI rotation on Mondays has also been removed, with TUI operated service added in the AM.

Looking at programme, so timing changes inevitable.

So what's the current state of play with TUI based a/c for next summer now?

Still 5 based 737 and part based 787, just some re-jig of timings I suspect.

JET 2 are extending the season for VERONA flights for summer 24 and 25.
