This happens quite a lot when the database changes from winter to summer or summer to winter schedules.
They should revert back to the BA flight numbers.

The airport computers get all their info from ACL – the company who manage the slots for the airport. Usually on bank holidays you will not see the non op flights as cancelled – as they will have been removed from the database. Sometimes this doesn’t happen and this is what you are seeing here.
There is nothing sinister to it.

indeed.

But the crazy thing is. 737-400s have more seats than A320s and are cheaper to lease/run in the short run.

The a320s must have been plenty cheap

Not quite –

Charter config 734 – 170 seats.
Charter config 320 – 180 seats.

With the new EU regs it might be easier to use the higher capacity A320 – with FR’s load factors the extra 10 seats between a 734 and 320 might be the difference between paying out compensation or not for overselling flights.

Wednesday.
The Travel Service 734 arrives tommorrow.

Yep.
Was operating a BHD rotation this afternoon and will be in GLA later tonight.

GCDEG will fly it’s first revenue flights today –
EDI-AGP
GLA-TFS

All new build 737’s have the strengthened wing to receive the winglets – even if they are not fitted with them originally. Earlier 737 NG’s require wing strengthening work to be carried out before the winglets can be fitted.

Aviation Partner are a subsidiary company of Boeing.

Hehe – that was the 23rd’s Rotations.
The a/c started in GLA on the 24th.

Haven’t operated this winter – first year they were operated by First Choice on the 757 via BRS, second year by Astraeus on the 737 again via BRS.

The 1hr to BRS and the 1hr at BRS meant anyone getting on in GLA had roughly an 8hr trip to get to BJL.
