10.30 XLA2194 PAPHOS
12.00 XLA219A LARNACA

Why does the Larnaca have an “A” on the of the flight number?
:confused:

Err…noticed the similarity of the 1st three numbers? All it needs is for someone to read back the wrong instruction and we could have a bit of a bump in the sky! Hence, the variation in callsign.

The “V” means nothing with regard to “w-patterns” as yesterday at MAN we saw G-JMAA operate the XLA201V to Malaga in the morning, returning some 6 or 7 hours later as the XLA211V. Anyway, why wouldn’t they use W as the letter and not V if they wanted to signify not a based aircraft?
