easyjet A319 and others!

I’m told that between the sixteenth and twentysixth of October, EZS flights 932 and 931 LTN-ZRH-LTN will be operated by 319, before returning to 737 from the winter timetable.

It’ll be in ZRH between 10:45am and 11:15am, so it should be leaving LTN around about 8:15am, and returning around 12:00pm, If that’s of any use to your plans to get to see it for yourself.

yeah, it should be the 737, but you never know… maybe JZB’ll be doing similar trials the day before it enters service? When JZA left BSL on Tuesday, it was going on to ZRH.
Incidentally, the easyjet 319’s will be looked after by SRTechnics at ZRH, so there may even be a possibility of seeing one over by a maintenance hangar? (don’t ask me where they are, though… it’s years since I’ve been to ZRH when it’s not been either dead of night or just passing through the transfer lounge)

Bhoy….

Dean here again…..Stewart (Wingflaps2 himself), caught it landing at LTN today and I missed it again!!!

We’re both off to ZRH on Saturday for the day from LTN, but I expect we’ll be on a 737 seeing as how the A319s are GVA based.

I’ll catch it soon I hope. It seems it’s going to be in LTN on a daily basis.

Here is a really nice photo of the EZY A319

Thanks,
Dean.

right, in answer to those questions…

Dean – I don’t know when it’ll be stopping off at LTN next, I only had the test flight schedule for HB-JZA, although I’m told the 319’s will start off, as I’ve said, on the Luton/Gatwick/Nice routes. The chances should double shortly, as HB-JZB was delivered to Geneva yesterday, and is due to join JZA in service as of Sunday (the fifth). The others in the original batch of 5 to be based at GVA are due to enter service on the following dates:
HB-JZC 8 October
HB-JZD 16 October
HB-JZE 6 November

Michael – I really haven’t a clue how they went about getting pilots for the Airbusses. I haven’t seen any specific recruitment ads for Airbus pilots anywhere, so I’d assume they’re current 737 pilots, although maybe some of our pilots have heard otherwise?

Very nice photos, bhoy.

With the easyJet A319s, who flys them? Have they recruited more pilots, trained existing 737 pilots or both?

Bhoy

Duesseldwarf here……. you couldn’t tell me when the EZY A319 is due in at LTN again could you?? I was looking out for it today but I didnae see it! Bah!

Cheers!
Dean.

Much as I’d love to, I’ll be in Fribourg playing a League game for Basel Rugby Club on Saturday afternoon at 3, which means setting out around about lunchtime. 🙁

Nonetheless, I’ll set the video for it.

Great shots, A330’s really look great from every angle. Tell me Bhoy, will you be back down the pub this Saturday to watch my efforts on the telly ?

Matt, excellent pics! The LTU shot is blinding, very good!

Cheers Mate. 🙂

And, to round of this selection, again, the reason I was there so long in the first place, Juliet Zulu Alpha.

Euralair A310-300 (the starboard side was totally white, apparently the tail colours are residue from a lease with Nigerian Global) F-GRNS

Hawker HS125 ZE395, (RAF Royal Flight?) heads back after presumably a fuel stop (it was in for just over an hour)

BBJ HZ-TAA touches down (apparently owned by a Saudi Prince, whose name escapes me for the moment…)

great shots….love the LTU one.

It’s refreshing to see a Saab 2000 operated by someone other than LX for once…

I just can’t warm to this Star livery…
