That 738 is definitly not Thomsons a/c because the timings for some of the flights are nearly identical to MYTs in previous years. Plus those timings mean that Britannia couldnt operate the Corfu,Zakynthos,Tenerife etc flights that they definitly are.
At least I know we will have 2 based charter a/c next year even though it seems that on Thursdays it wont be here, and on other days it just does one flight and then I imagine goes off to other airports.

Yep, they are swapping one Nordic 738 with a 752 to operate at Teeside, must be getting one from there for LBA.

Isn’t it just a case of MYT tour operators just using
allocations on Thomsons aircraft Tom.?
I dont think it is because we have one a/c based there operating Thomson flights and if you look on the Thomson website, the flight to FUE that they are using is operating using a W pattern, (Imagine IWD or someone like that) where as MyTravel are having their own a/c. (A bit strange Thomson are using a foreign carrier and MYT are using Thomsons airline!). Also on a Friday, while the 738 is flying to IBZ and MAH, Thomsons flight is to CFU and it out from 07:00 until 23:00.
DC10 – I imagine we will still have significantly more than HUY, just due to the fact we will have two based a/c next year where as HUY will have none.

How many weekly package hol. flights(ie. excl. loco) in total will be operated from LBA next year? It will be barely anymore than from HUY..
