Hi,
Both B767s are to remain in the fleet until at least Winter 2007/2008 as these aircraft will be operating the Sanya, China route. The aircraft are currently being fitted with Premiair Gold Cabins and along with the A330-200s, Seat Pitch in economy will be increased to 31″ with leather seats for Winter 2006/2007 and Summer 2007.
Also on the Long Haul front, Summer 2006 will see enhanced meal services with the second service being upgraded to a Hot Breakfast or Pizza Snack as appropriate to the time of day rather then just serving sandwiches as offered by other airlines. Meals for Summer 2006 have also been upgraded for Premiair Gold and a Kids option is now available.
Meanwhile, 5 Airbus A320/A321s have been fitted with leather seats and new seat foams ready for Summer 2006 with a progressive roll-out to the entire fleet thereafter.
On the ground, Self Service check-in is currently in trials at Manchester and East Midlands ready for roll-out to all MyTravel Airways departure points. Day before and 24 hour check-in is now available at Gatwick as well as Manchester and Glasgow and off airport and ‘drive thru’ check-in has now been implemented at Sanford.
The first two new destinations named for Summer 2007 so far are Sanya, Hainan Island, China (as above) and Olbia, Sicily.
Furthermore, MyTravel Aircraft Engineering facility at Manchester has now become a wholly owned subsidiary of MyTravel Group PLC.
Finally, Look out for a new MyTravel Airways website launch in May alongside the re-launch and redesign of MyTravel.com and all MyTravel Group company sites.
Hope this answers a few questions!
