Thomas cook 757-300's

[4567]

Hi there was just wnting to ask where Thomascooks 2 757-300s are based for the summer or indeed year round?

[tallaonehotel]

Both floating in and out of Glasgow most days........

'Floating' being the operative word with those new (ish) winglets!

[4567]

I see they based there most of the time?
I suppose it makes sense to put them up there with those winglets. Wasnt sure if they would get the loads up there.

When im on Flightradar ones usually in Glasgow and the other is usually in Gatwick

Don't they fly very much?

Saw a non-winglet TC 757 approaching into EGKK yesterday - presumably that's not one of the -300s?

[MKY661]

Both 757-300's have winglets

Both are now based at GLA for the summer.

So far they are both behaving much better than last summer aswell!

Mightve spoke too soon there haha. Just seen one is currently in PMI with a pretty severe delay not sure if its the actual a/c or just them running late. Are they old a/c?
I heard myself they were pretty tech prone last yr. Must've caused a right emss with schedules for the GLA base last yr having both.

The 300s are having the odd sortie into Manchester as well, there was one on the Friday evening Tenerife flight last week

They are not tht old no. G-JMAA is 11.2 years old and G-JMAB is 11.1 years old.

G-JMAB

11.1 years old is correct! I had the pleasure of flying her into the UK for the first time from the Boeing factory in Seattle

Just to clarify; both 757-300s remain Glasgow based until the English school holidays kick in (mid to late July) when they move to Gatwick.

[4567]

Are both of them off to Gatwick thought one always hung around Glasgow even last summer i thought that was the case.

I can see why they would place them at GLA to make full use of those winglets.

A TCX 753 is due to operate the Izmir on 30/06/12 out of BHX at 18.40 local if anyone wants to see one in the midlands.

[4567]

I see these a/c have been moved to LGW for awhile do we know what 752's have been sent up to replace them and what ones are based at GLA now?

I see that gla is loosing the 753 next summer but cannot understand why due to the min load on them is 266 -280 outof 280 on gla-dlm its 277/280
gna miss them and put up with the 752's again hopefully tc base them back up here as we need them to serve a whole country from gla
