Zoom

The Zoom schedule is already pretty full. Their winter ops is also manic, with some UK services being reduced due to their charter work in Canada.
Unless they are getting another 757, possibly from Harmony?

Now the summer season is just about here. Does anyone have anymore updates for the list? Lots of a/c not accounted for!

Anyone know what the Air Wales a/c was doing there?

Thomson are Refurbishing their Long Haul planes. I believe the first one is now back in the UK and will be in service this weekend.
So the new cabin should be even better than the pictures shown. Thomson’s website shows info on what the cabin will be like, but no decent pictures.

In the UK no bag can be over 32kgs. I dont know if this is airline policy or health and safety law…but anything over that is difficult for baggage staff to lift!
Also any bag over 20kgs should be tagged with a heavy sticker.
Hope this helps.

BRS website showing other airlines diverting to CWL/BHX tomorrow morning, including:

Easyjet (to CWL)
BH Air (to CWL)
Air Malta (to CWL)
First Choice (to BHX/EXT)
Thomson Fly (to BHX)
Excel Airways (to CWL)
BA-connect (to BHX)
SN Brussels

Apart from Thomson who have released a press statement on their website, This information is correct from looking at the website.

The other airlines may or may not follow.
However its clear to see from 2 incidents and one near incident that something needs to be done. Especially when pilots have to hold for runway checks, or have expressed concerns to their respective company’s about safety. This should not be compromised.
I’m no expert, but to me, a larger Jet a/c skidding down the runway could be alot worse than a slower, smaller ATR!

A/c circled over CWL for about an hour to burn off fuel. CWL on full emergency status. Ended up going to MAN, sounds like everything was ok in the end, thankfully!
