I thought it would have been, i didn’t see any reason for the UK Jet / Excel to come in from and go out to Paris

Good luck EMA! Lets hope it’s more reliable than last summer, can’t get much worse!

Was tech in BHX most of Friday, thus delayed arriving at EMA! 😮 Hardly a good start, and doesn’t say much about whether it will be better this year than it was last! :confused:

The NCL-CDG flight probably wouldn’t be on the board because its only a positioning flight with no passengers on-board.

I saw a photo earlier on. It is a Greek-registered aircraft, but I can’t remember where I saw it! 🙁
