Yes think I seen her at last. The aircraft is not in full Flyjet colours yet I think, if so then it was the Flyjet B767 I saw.

Can anyone confirm??

Cheers.

I can confirm that G-FJEC is here. I have seen flyjet's Boeing 767 myself. It is not in Flyjet colours. It is a white aircraft with a blue tail and blue engines until it gets the Fly First Class Livery. Can't wait to get on it. Exciting times ahead for Flyjet. As soon as we can get a pic we will post it.

Depends on your interpretation of Queen of the sky- if an ancient second or third hand half painted 762 does it for you- so be it.

Do you realise that cruel and insensitive comments like that could mentally scar someone for life.

Upandup - I realise it will be flying for Fly First Class contracts to BDA but surely it should go in the FLYJET colour scheme. Is it not something that the company should be advertising - the long talked about 767 is finally here but wont be in Flyjet colours - why the reason not too?? Who owns it the airline or the tour operator??

767 Proving Flight??

So what happened? I got called to day to ask if I'd give up some days off to operate couple of Sub Charters for FJE this weekend because the 767 was not available? Is it broken already? Was there a proving flight problem. Not sure we got the work in the end, but very mysterious.

It is in the basic colour scheme of blue and white at the moment for its shakedown period. Any problems it has can be ironed out now and crew can get used to the aircraft. We have a contract with FlyFirstClass and will be operating Bermuda and North Carolina routes on this aircraft. The Aircraft will then be reconfigured to hold only 96 passengers and will be painted with FlyFirstClass livery, which also has blue and white base colours. Its kinda like Air Atlanta, who have one of there 747's in TravelCity Direct colours. Its Flyjet's aircraft but once the FlyFirstClass contract begins, the aircraft will only be used for the FlyFirstClass contract.
I was on the aircraft the other day to do my touch drills and was half expecting it to be knackered considering the age of the aircraft, but i have to say it is looking lovely. I can't wait to work on it.
There are definately exciting times ahead for Flyjet.
