In normal times the TUI Airways fleet move around a fair bit. Usually swapping downroute as a “W” pattern, or by positioning aircraft between bases. Below is the current location for the fleet: B737-800 G-FDZB - Parked BHX G-FDZD - Parked BRS G-FDZF - Parked LGW G-FDZS - Parked BHX G-FDZT - Parked D...
Jump to postLike they need another livery.
They already have 4 flying around!
They’re both operating back to LHR tomorrow evening as BA9112 and BA9113.
Jump to postBA A320 G–EUUR will arrive in TEV this afternoon after being at MAD for MX. The 747 pilots will ferry back to LHR on that.
Jump to postNLY needs a replacement engine. Will be there for a few more days yet I imagine.
Jump to postDo you know how many lavs there are on the BA A35K?
The aircraft is unable to retract the flaps and so is returning to LHR to nightstop.
Jump to postI was told from a normally reliable source that BA have two 744's heading to DUB in the next few weeks for a paint job. This isn't to say they'll be in any special livery, but just that they are getting a lick of paint. Although BA do some of their painting in DUB anyway, so it wouldn't be unusual ...
Jump to postI wonder what’s going on with the big inconsistency of the painting of the winglets/sharklets too? TAP’s first A320neo was delivered with the sharklets painted on both sides: 5005249 Since then they’ve been changed to (very boring in comparison!) grey. 5241937 Some of the A330’s and E190’s in the fl...

Jump to postAs mentioned, BA chose to close TBK. IAG already use DUB, FCO and MAD for repainting so I guess it wasn't cost effective to have several different paint hangars. On the subject of repainting, BA will repaint a further 24 aircraft into Union Flag with Crest/White this year (1 A318, 8 A319s, 2 A320s a...
