No, that would be called a split load flight, but would probably require a crew change at TFN (or MAN) due to the four sectors.

Thanks, I trying to get my head around it:D 😀 😀

If it were NCL-TFN-MAN….MAN-TFN-NCL, then that would be a ‘W’

Or take a NCL based charter aircraft, for example…..NCL-ALC-EDI, where there is a crew change (probably a NCL crew positioning up to take the aircraft over), then EDI-ALC-NCL.

These are flights that operate out of one airport, to another airport, back to another airport, and back to the start airport via another (Usualy the first destination) airport.

Take for example BAs LCY operation:

BHX-CDG-LCY-CDG-BHX

is what the aircraft will operate as BA do not have a LCY base, if you think about it this looks sort of like a W in certain situations.
