What routes do Thomas Cook fly their A330's on?

I'm at LGW tomorrow, and was hoping to catch a glimpse of one. Does anyone know where they are flying to, out of Gatwick tomorrow?

[TULYAR]

thomas cook A330`s

they fly out of south terminal.

i know one goes to Heraklion,also tenerife.

[Psr777]

The A330's only fly to short haul destinations on an adhoc basis, for other carriers. They are used on a number of long haul destinations:

Mexico - Cancun
Dominican Republic - La Romana
Puerto Plata

Cuba - Varadero
Holguin
Ciego De Avilla
Cayo de Coco

Summer only - Canada - Vancouver
Calgary

Florida - Sanford

Also been flying to Tobago and Greneda through the winter for Monarch. One of the A330's was also based in Beirut from 25th Jan to 25th Feb operating Hajj flights for MEA.

Thomas Cook A332s also operate MAN to YVR and YYC during the summer season. Hope to be on one on this route shortly.

Time to spare go by air.

Friday mornings from BHX to Sanford........

[B767300ER]

Who the heck wants to go to SFB (Sanford)? Its miles north of Orlando and the tourist traps, and the terminal is small, not to mention tight taxiways for WB aircraft and way too much primary flight training (Cessnas & Pipers) traffic for comfort.

Better to go to MCO-Orlando Intn'l.

Air Atlanta scrapping TF-ARG

Ex-British Airways B742 TF-ARG ferries from STN-Kemble today for scrapping, due out from STN 1315z, another classic airframe gone.

[Wycombe]

Wasn't this the aircraft that ran the South Atlantic airbridge for the MoD until recently?

When it wasn't being driven into that is!!

[irishcc]

Excel are disposing of two B757-200's before year end. G-VKNB and VKNC are leaving Excel, and apparently, going to FlyGlobespan.

[WHBM]

Very few 757s are likely to be scrapped in the near future as FedEx have recently said they are shopping for about 100 secondhand ones to replace their 727 fleet. Yes some of them look a bit tired now, but with the interiors stripped out they'll suit the Freight Dogs.

I have seen some remarkable rehabbing for freight work - total reskinning the belly, glass cockpit in a DC-9, etc. so nothing would surprise me if the price is right.

Kenyan

Sunday 29th saw the first new Boeing 737 transit through LHR on delivery. Can anyone confirm if any of the others on the order will follow the same route and when they might arrive.
Also , is there anywhere net-wise where you can pick up info. on delivery aircraft transitting LHR with dates or times.
Be grateful for any help - thanks.

[hobie]

I wonder why they would transit through LHR ? ......

I would have thought it much easier and quicker to go via somewhere with a bit less traffic? ....

Maybe they pick up pax at LHR for an extra 1 way service to at least make a little revenue on the delivery flight?

I think they sent their 777s through LHR previously.

[Fried_Chicken]

They go via Heathrow as Kenyan already have a 'station' at Heathrow due to having scheduled flights there. Therefore contracts are already in place for ground handling, fuel etc..

Kenyans B737-700's were also delivered via Heathrow. I can remember 5Y-KQG being delivered via the 'Row, I think it arrived as N715BA
