Aircraft Types
 

One website shows aircraft type, you can fill in the gaps.......:) www.g**g**fl*****.co.u* although it doesn't go as far as identifying the 788 and 789 flights but a dummy booking on the TUI site can work these out, as an example BHX-KGS on a Sunday clearly shows the 789 seat-map

The A320 is still showing in the flight only seat map but I got the impression the ex-TUI 738's now with Irish registrations were for this purpose (said example on the ground now in BHX).

Sorry.I meant how did you find out the information about how many aircraft of the airline are at bhx?

I dont think the FLY4 aircraft are replacing the A320's. I think these will be at BFS NWI and 2 elsewhere replacing Sunwing.

Tui ACMI Plan 2024

BFS = Avion A320 x1
DUB = Avion A320 x1
CWL = Avion A320 x1
BHX = Fly4 B738 x2
EMA = Fly4 B738 x2
LGW = TBC B738 x2 (UK based ACMI Operator)
NWI = AirExplore B738 x1
MAN = Smartlynx B7M8 x3
MAN = TUIfly Nordic B789 x1

Plan was correct as of 1 month ago

So SE-RFZ back to do a third season on the CUN route this year. Will TUI ever get G-TUIP or has thet been cancelled now

Should mention those 3 Smartlynx are 737-8 Max

According to the Boeing Dreamliner register, Against G-TUIP, it states order has not been taken up and has been re registered N2002D.

Strange one with TUIP. Given their long haul programme next summer is not as substantial it makes sense, but also given that there is no direct replacement for the 767’s you’d think a couple of 788’s could permanently go to s/h config and there would be enough for another 9 to do year round.

think Dublin is 2 A320s of Avion again, also still showing 1 A320 at EMA, 2 A320s at BHX, and 4 A320s at LGW according to the TUI website aircraft seat maps.

From what I’m hearing, Ascend Airways are the ACMI carrier for Gatwick.

I think Matt produced a TUI summer 24 schedule some weeks back. Where that says 738, would that differentiate between a ACMI 738 and a TUI in house one? I am thinking Manchester for example which will have both….

personnally I am not able to differentiate between a ACMI & a TUI 738, last year on the TUI website, when you booked a flight/holiday, it did say if it was operated by SmartLynx, Avion, Sunwing etc, but they seem to have dropped that option this year.

My original Manchester timetable had 2 A320s in it, so I expect those flights to be operated by the Smartlynx 737 Max now, no idea what flights the other Max will do, and likewise at EMA/BHX don't know what flights the Fly4 aircraft will do. LGW again was showing 4 A320s, so if Ascend Airways is operating 2 737s, I presume that will replace 2 of the A320s?

Thanks Matt,

G-TUIF appears to be more than a little broken. Been on the ground for a couple of weeks now.

It's been on the ground for only 10 days and a door repair is not a five minute job, especially as my guess is, the required spares will be a problem.
Might not just be damage to the door and might require a hangar to complete the repairs.

I would think a hangar visit is preferential so all depends on space/slot as it will have to done at BHX

Anyone who thinks this Ryanair deal will be a success is sadly mistaken.

I was in Terminal 3 at MAN today travelling with BA to LHR and the whole departure lounge is carnage with groups of Ryanair passengers everywhere.

100% not the ambience that TUI package holiday customers will want to experience. Was rather unpleasant to be honest.

I doubt BA business passengers want to experience that either, but here we are

Sorry but comments like this crack me up. Its only been 10 days not weeks.

Do u honestly think that its a small job whats happened to TUIF? Obviously its more than a ‘little broken’.

Seriously? I saw literally hundreds of TUI pax standing on the ramp having been disembarked from the 8 aircraft sat out on the apron queuing to get into arrivals at CFU last summer due to delays with passport control. That's 100% not the ambience.
