Despite Sunwing and its not so great performance last year and its now approved acquisition by Westjet that seemed to spell the end of the TUI leasing planes from them and to them, we now have more than ever for Summer 23.
X7 Frames C-FFPH C-FPRP C-FYJD C-GBZS C-GFEH C-GNCH C-GOWG Based at 2xBHX 1xEMA 1xABZ 1xBFS 1xCWL 1xNWI Wonder if this will be the last year of them now Westjet have taken them over. |
There are no restrictions on where you live. However, if you are on standby you are allowed thirty minutes to get ready and then a further sixty minutes to report at the crew room. How you achieve this is up to you.

I've noticed TUI operating G-reg from DUB to EU- is this done with some clever trickery of wet leasing temporarily or is there another way this is allowed? I didn't keep up with what happened post-Brexit but my assumption was just that intra-EU requires EU AOC and EU reg now?

Contracted via their primary Irish web site tuiholdays.ie so OK I would imagine Ok. Are not most flights on W patterns currently? Once summer shedules fully kicks in then the leased examples will be based/overnight.

They regularly swap the DUB-based aircraft with others in the fleet so it doesn’t appear to be any form of leasing arrangement. |

I thouhght the Irish flying was operated under "BLX" (Tui Nordic) flight numbers to get around the post-Brexit issue...with aircraft then wet lease onto that from the UK or 3rd party supplier.

I believe they did do that for one winter season (used BLX flight numbers and a consistent 738) but it has been TOM flight numbers this season on a mix of TOM G-reg 738s (just like at any other base).

They'd have to get dispensation from the IAA - like when Emerald used EI- Atr's at BHD
And in the same way they operate Sunwings a/c from the UK in the summer |

TUIfly Nordic 787-9 looks like it has tried to make it over to the LTN hanger for 2 days now from ARN. As it is needed at MAN for shedules from 5th May for summer season, is this going to make some issues?

SE-RFZ due 20th 9.21

Kefalonia to GLA a nice little addition, though one presumes in place of something else. A bit of a bun fight with Jet2. Skaithos, Thessallonika or Santorini might have been nice. Used to be an old BY732 service to ATH and Thessalonika!

Glasgow will see an additional two aircraft based at the airport, with 180,000 extra seats making it Tui’s biggest-ever programme from the city – adding new flights to Cape Verde and Greece. Birmingham will see one additional aircraft and 100,000 extra seats, East Midlands the same. Newcastle will have an additional aircraft based at the airport and 120,000 extra seats, and Manchester an extra aircraft and 130,000 additional seats, taking capacity from the northwest to 2.1 million. In the south, Bournemouth and Bristol airports will have additional aircraft based at each, adding 120,000 seats from Bristol and 60,000 from Bournemouth, while Exeter will see 15,000 additional seats. There will be an additional 200,000 seats available from Gatwick – taking capacity from the airport to two million and close to 200 weekly departures – 30,000 seats added to and from Stansted, and 14 additional flights a week from Luton. Tui will also add 40,000 seats from Cardiff and there will be new flights to Dalaman, Turkey, from Teesside. |
I wonder where the Luton slots will come from for an additional based aircraft (14 flights per week).
|
So will GLA be 4 x 737’s and a part based or full based Dreamliner 787 come S24? I thought in the Britannia heydays it wasn’t far off that with 757s and 763 but they do say ‘biggest ever program’
Presumably then more routes or frequencies to come. Good old Tui stalwarts! |
Am more wondering where the aircraft are coming from.
That's an additional 10 aircraft (if no bases are losing out) plus the loss of the 7 sunwing from this year if it's true they aren't returning for S24 now their merger has been given the go-ahead. |
