Apart from Manchester – Copenhagen does anyone know any MD80 routes i can go on in the UK as these are yet more aircraft vanishing from our skies.

Most sources say that Alitalia will retire their last MD-82s in 2013. However I am not aware of the current destinations served with MD-80s.
Bye:)

Try Alitalia. I was booked on a flight from Milan to London on a MD80 last April, but unfortunately, that stupid volcano messed things up and I had to take a train home.
Be quick, though. I suspect they’re just about to be retired, if not already.

Welcome to Planet Tommy. :rolleyes:
Honestly, Tommy, if you want people to take you seriously you need to stop asking the same questions (with slightly different wording) over and over again.

Viking Hellas Airlines operates a MD-83 to Gatwick and Manchester sometimes I think. They only have one MD80 series so a small chance of getting it.

Which MD83 was based at Manchester in 1991, i flew MAN-ALC on 31/8/91 and returned 15/9/91, but never knew reg.
Im guessing it may of been G-COES.
Following year i went from BHX-MAH-BHX again on an Airtours MD83 again wish i knew the reg. The flight was 18/7/92 returning 1/8/92.
Wish i knew the reg’s.

Nice aircraft, quite like smartie tubes, very noisy at back, silent at front.
Thatยดs one of the hallmarks of the MD-80 ๐

Did an MD83 in 2004 from Teesside to Tenerife with Spanair. Nice aircraft, quite like smartie tubes, very noisy at back, silent at front.

Maybe some charter services for tour operators? You are right: the MD-80 is no longer very much in evidence.
