Ryanair 737-200's parked up

[Eh Hello?]

Three Ryanair 737-200's are now parked on the disused runway at Dublin - two in full colours and the 'Jaguar' billboard.

Is this the start of the withdrawals?

[electricblue]

The following aircraft are now withdrawn from use.

EI-CJE/F/H & I ex Britannia
EI-CKP/S ex Transavia

Not too sure if the Excel and EAAC hireins have come on line yet. I would expect the EAAC 732 to be based out of LTN operating with full EAAC crew- this is similar to an arrangement employed some years back with the 1-11's.

Afaik the Excel aircraft will have FR cabin crew (not sure about cockpit)

CKS, definatly would be one of my favourites! :(

The EAAC aircraft is in fact operating out of STN, doing routes such as FRL and SNN. I believe it is EAAC flight deck and cabin crew (in a similar agreement to the one they recently had with bmi).

Excel have wintered flight deck crews with FR before, so I think it will be only cabin crew supplied by FR on these aircraft.

Can anyone confirm have FR re-introduced some of the ex-buzz B733s which were stored. I think they may have. 3 146s are definitely operating, so I don't think they will have too chronic shortages in capacity over the winter.

Hi,

Do Ryanair still operate the 737-200 on the Blackpool-Dublin service?

Indeed the 737-200 is still operating the Blackpool - Dublin service while they are using the 146 between Stanstead and Blackpool until the new year when the 738 is due to replace it.


I remain, Niaga Dessip:ok:

Anyone know when the Teesside-Dublin is due to be replaced by a 738?

Hi,

Thanks Niaga Dessip :ok:.

[I'm pi$$ed off]

EI-CKS and, I think, EI-CJI, heard this morning heading North towards Scotland. Maybe going to PIK for further storage?

[Findo]

All three are for temporary storage and expected back in service once the paint problem has been sorted.

[electricblue]

Findo,

What are your sources for that info ? I very much doubt these birds will be "repaired" and would be very dubious of any management who would do this for aircraft originally due to be retired from next March.

Hi,

Anyone know what aircraft operated FR 925 from Blackpool to Dublin today?

Thanks :)
