Yes that code you see is Boeing’s customer code for First Choice Airways, it has been the same since the days of Air 2000. That goes for all the airline codes shown on that picture.

Currently showing the thursday morning 8:10 departures are to be operated by Thomsonfly 737-800. However also showing is a 9:05 First choice airways departure which is to be operated by a 757-200 flight FCA 2452.
On the holiday companies websites it shows that FCA will be operating the 8:10 flight so it all look quite confusing at the minute with both airlines booking engines showing flights for each airline. I think the best thing to do to find out exactly is to wait until May when the summer season begins to kick in.

It is planned to be operated by one of their 737-800, which the route has operated by since the beggining of the winter schedules 🙂

Exactly the logical idea would be to replace the older 733 fleet with newer 737NG aircraft just like Tuifly in germany is and also other airlines in the TUI group including Thomsonfly are adding more 737-800s to their fleets so replacing these aircraft with a small number of Airbus aircraft from the FCA fleet would definately not be the way they go. As ‘threedeltamax’ says it will most likely be the FCA airbus aircraft that get replaced before any other, the A321’s are already planned to have left the fleet by summer next year.

From 1st November although you will still see the aircraft in MYT livery for some time yet probably even up to next summer.

I was also jsut going to comment on where you got your information from jet22 as i have close contacts that work for thomsonfly and they have heard nor have been nothing more than what i have said on my previous comments.

However the reason why it has been commented about the TUI UK uniform changing is because if you look at TUIfly germany then you will see that they are phasing in a new uniform for the rebreanding of the airline despite at first the TUI group having a company wide uniform based upon the ‘sun, sea, sand and sky’ sheme albeit slightly different aspects of the uniform in different companies and branches of the industry.
