88 Hour Delay!

Poor excel, such a good airline, Air atlanta just bring them down….

According to Pprune (Again not the most reliable source I know), a 762 was covering for a 763 on the flight to Porlamar, but apparantly went tech in Porlamar, the Kos flight was meant to be operated by this 762, but 189 pax were put on a 738 the rest are stranded at MAN, and the LCA flight still hasnt gone which was meant to be operated by the 762 this dinner time!

I know thats what you meant, thats why I said, has Venuezuela been involved in the hurricanes? Grey Area was just joking with his comment. That flight is now due in at 01:00 tomorrow morning.

Some other terrible Excel delays today:

XLA2115 07:20 KOS EXPECTED 18:45
XLA2027 08:55 RHODES EXPECTED 13 SEPT 07:55.

Ive read on Pprune that the reason for these delays is that Air Atlanta have got no flight crew to fly these flights!

it will be possibly due to the hurricane will it not

The Excel delay

Thanks for info Lyndon, sounds like a nightmare!

I was stuck on the bloody thing too. The delay was due to a faulty oil pressure valve in the engine. We had to wait for a new one to be flown down from the u.k. Bit of a long day out. 😡

According to a.net, the A320 is due to depart ALC at 02:00 am, making about a 16 hour delay.

LOL – Still says exactly the same on the LBA arrivals board..
MYT388 ALICANTE 1230 INDEFINITE DELAY

Im just glad that MYT are on the ball this year and have got another a/c straight in to operate the later flights, theres even rumours on the LBA board that it could of been a Jet2 733 operating a flight ?

Has there been a hurricane in Alicante as well??? 😮

Has Venuezuela been involved in the hurricanes?

it will be possibly due to the hurricane will it not

wow, that is bad!! Very unlike Excel T.T.T! hehe
