WW ops minus one aircraft

Any word on how BMI-Baby will be diagramming planes to cover for the slightly bent 737 that was shunted (apologies for layman's terms...) at MAN?

Noticed G-ZAPU has been covering from Titan Airways. Will this continue indefinitely? And how does this affect BMI-Baby's longer term ops at MAN?

Many thanks,

*j*

J - I suspect they will continue to run with Titan - main supply contractor for them I believe.

Titan, AKA Zap, have been "covering" British Airways "Shuttle" flights LHR-MAN-LHR for quite a while, does this affect BA's future plans/ops

The WW MAN - ORK flight was due at Cork around 2220 hours Friday night - almost 6 hours late!

Hope things improve. Plenty of BD A320s there to be hired in.

That, or either bring forward delivery of the easyjet 737-300(s).

Needed now?

bmi baby are initially aquiring some of the ex Ryanair/Buzz/Continental B733s. I understand that one of these is already at EMA in the hangar being prepared for service.

Perhaps its time to buy shares in Titan Airways........With BA's ongoing problems with EWS it looks like that Titan will be busy for some time.

I have heard that the baby a/c involved in the Manchester incident may be a write-off.
