Aircraft and Route Allocation
 

Please restrict this thread to queries on aircraft allocation to a specific route

Manchester To Orlando International
 

On March the first I am flying from MAN to MCO with Virgin Atlantic (Flight VS075) in economy class

I was wondering if anyone knows what Aircraft they use for this route and also what entertainment system will be available.

I have looked for this info On Virgins website with no joy. all i can find is that Certain Entertainment systems are only available on certain routes.

Thankyou
Dyls

VA to MCO
 

Aircraft should be a B747-400 with individual seat back entertainment system.

do they have the games and the video on demand system?

Yes, I'm pretty sure they do.

A little 'teething trouble' with the combining of threads has necessitated a few moves and deletions on this thread to sort it out. Hopefully we are sorted now!

That flight would have been an A346. :ok:

Locating US Flight details
 

I know this has been asked before but I can’t find the thread. How do I find out which particular A321 aircraft operated US1495 22 November 2006 CLT-LAX?

Thanks

ZFT,

I can only find the LGW-CLT part of the flight which as US1495 was operated by N272AY, an A330.

Tried the usual sites but still only giving that aircraft. Does anyone know if the CLT-LAX part uses a different callsign?

YD

yellowdog,

Interesting as US1495 sector I was on from CLT-LAX was definitely an A321.

Out of interest, what are ‘these usual sites’ you refer to?

ZFT,

There are two sites I use,

http://www.acarsd.org/acars_search.html

and

http://www.antonakis.co.uk/acars.php?page=request

both should be fairly self explanatory.

YD

Thanks for that.

ba airbus routes
 

hi

does anybody know where i could find a list of the routes that the a319/20/21 fly out of LHR to. If there isn't one, would somebody mind making a quick list :ok:

thanks

Aberdeen, Amsterdam, Athens, Barcelona, Belgrade, Paris CDG, Copenhagen, Moscow, Dusseldorf, Edinburgh, Frankfurt, Glasgow, Geneva, Hamburg, Helsinki, Istanbul, Kiev, Leningrad, Gatwick, Milan Lin, Milan MXp, Lisbon, Lyon, Madrid, Manchester, Munich, Newcastle, Oslo, Bucharest, Prague, Sofia, Stuttgart, Tripoli, Vienna, Warsaw, Zurich.

That's your lot!

Every single BA Domestic and European destination out of Heathrow gets an Airbus, even the likes of Larnaca or Moscow (mostly B767s) see them from time to time.

Just heard that bmi are to wet-lease the 3rd 330 to Air India as from 15th December. Doesn't say which route it's on yet but they are looking for crews to spend Christmas and New Year somewhere in India! Guess they'll send the white one out there as that could be re-logoed most easily. Is this the return of the Instant Airline of long ago (707 s in the eighties)??

Which one is the all white one?
I know it is not going to be the one on repair that is going, so they will be very short on longhaul capacity for a week or two.:ok:

BM, the one being repaired will be ready by then. I imagine they'll put it on the Chicago or Vegas/Carribbean route and then put the Star Alliance one on the Air India contract. It'll be much easier to peel off the stickers from G-WWBD and put on some from AI.

So, as long as the repairs are complete, we'll be up on capacity by a third. 3x330 s and 1x767.

airtours manchester - mombassa
 

I will be flying out of Manchester to Mombassa via Gatwick with air tours early next year; does anyone know what type of cattle truck it is? or indeed what the service is like?

lease & deliverys
 

hi

keep checking this site SKYLINER Lease details and deliverys on it

http://www.skyliner-aviation.de/regd...3653532c3f97a9

Thanks Gulf4uk..

I was just wondering which A/C out of the fleet of G-OOAN, G-OOBK, G-OOBL, G-OOBM, G-DBLA OR G-PJLO is penciled in to the MAN BGI route on Thrusday?

Maybe its more of an Ops question ??

Cheers

The " cattle truck " you ask for at the momment has been a B767-300 since the start of November so would expect that to continue for the reamaining winter schedule

BMI 330's
 

g-bm will be back in service from 15 december and operating damp lease for air india

Are you sure it's "BM", l understood that it was not going to be "BM".
I think l heard it was going to be "BD", but l stand to be corrected.:ok:

You are correct, it is "BD" doing the charter work out of LHR:)

EDI-Chambery on Saturday's
 

Does anyone out there know what equipment is used on the weekly winter charter flight on Saturdays between Edinburgh & Chambery? It uses a BA flight number...

It's an RJ100.

My Travel to SSA
 

Well its down as a 763 so I would expect that on Friday.

Thomson LGW-DEN 27 jan - What a/c type ?
 

Sorry for the rather random looking title, but was wondering if anyone knows what aircraft type will be operating the TOM5691 on 27 Jan ?

Our travel agent has assured my husband that it is definitely a Boeing 737-200 which has just confirmed my opinion that travel agents very often have absolutely no idea what they are talking about.

I've looked all over the Thomson website and can't find anywhere what aircraft type it is.

Thanks in advance

Probably a B767-200/300

"GPO-" King Airs
 

Anyone know who is operating the Beech King 200s that seem to be flying around UK regional airports recently.

They operate with a "GPO..." flight number but don't have any regs.

Does GPO mean it is for Royal Mail???

That would be our very own Northern Aviation based at MME! They operate 2 Beech 200's, G-ONAL which uses the GPO "Goosepool" callsign and G-TAGH which I think may be on loan to them therefore not using GPO.

mmeteesside

Thanks - it must be a new callsign as they used to fly under reg I believe.

2 aircraft flew into MAN today, only a few minutes between them, and both were using a GPO flight number, but they were different a/c.

Thomsonfly fleet @ BHX Summer 2007
 

Hi all,

Does anyone know what aircraft type TOM and how many they are basing at BHX this Summer??
As I know we normally get a B762 for all or part of the Summer season (peak times), but as two have left just wondered if we would see an aircraft change, e.g. 2 x B757-200's and 1 B767-300.

Anyone any ideas??

Cheers. :ok: :ok:

Are TOM taking delivery of a new 738. Reg G-FDZA
Is this the only one in the fleet that will have Winglets?
Expected to be delivered to GLA tomorrow morning.

Also is G-THOO in service yet?

GTHOOBoeing B733 33V29335 / 3094 HALKTDue 23 Jan 07

Of http://www.jethros.i12.com/fleets/fl...thomsonfly.htm hope it was of some help:ok:

P.S where is G-THOO going to be based???????

I think COV initially, then it depends on the planning and requirements, but they need to replace the 735 OA which has been WFU and was COV based. OB will leave next and be replaced by another 733.

caaardiff, it is one of three and they will not be 804s but 8K5s models, with winglets.:ok:
