I see the Maleth flight from LGW is delayed until at least 15:00 today. Passengers not allowed through into departure area currently - not surprisingly a lot of unhappy passengers out there.

I assume that the aircraft will be leased to Thai for a lengthy period. Totally different to flying just twice a week to the Caribbean for five months as a charter operation.

Isn't the Norse flight in fact a P&O charter, being used due to a MAH aircraft going tech ?
Certainly Norse flights have been operating out of LGW recently, in place of MAH flights.

Although looking at the seat data, seat width and seat pitch appear to be identical on the A330 and the 787.

AFAIK, the catering for both TUI and MLT flights is the same. So, from my experience last month, hot meal and then afternoon tea on outbound sector, hot meal and hot breakfast on inbound sector.
