Hey,
I heard that a Air Tours Airbus A330-200 slipped off the tarmac at Montego Bay due to the tower pushing the aircraft into the mud. Can i have more details on this please. I also heard that Air Tours officials do not want anyone to touch the aircraft or even attempt to move it until they come to survey what happened. A replacement aircraft was sent in for the stranded passengers, The aircraft was provided by Air Tours International. Can anyone else give me some more info on this incident?

So thats why it was getting VERY late into MAN, or is that a different a/c. What reg was the aircraft if you know? No doubt it will be in the UK papers next week, they are always late with everything.
When you hear the noise of the Tartan Army Boys, we'll be coming down the road!

I thought it was a chartered Skyservice A330 operating for Airtours that got stuck in the mud. I thought it was at Manchester though. Don't know though. See previous forum entries about it.

Yeah Airtours will mess up our good old C-FBUS before we get her back in Canada. Why on earth would they lease it to them in the first place?. Is Skyservice not flying to Europe in the winter this year? Will a Skyservice crew be flying that plane or will some of the Airtours pilots fly our Canadian reg plane?

UMMM.... I said that it was a Air Tours A330-200 that is stuck in Jamaica, not the Skyservice C-FBUS. I saw a picture of it in a Jamaican newspaper. Skyservice one is a different story all together in Manchester. This Air Tours A330-200 was bound for London not Manchester. The Skyservice A330-300 did slip of the taxiway at Manchester also. There damaging our airplanes.
