Lol it was a VC10 and 2 tornadoes. Flypast for the Tattoo.

Better late than never eh.;) Awesome stuff again.

Feel free to to correct me if im wrong but i believe that AB is not only ETOPs equiped but she is also the lightest aircraft in the 757 fleet which makes her the best suited to the LBA-EWR flight. Where as AJ which is known as “JET 2 NEW YORK” is the heavyiest 757 they own.

Again im going on past information so dont quote me on it.

Any Truth to the rumour that Jet2 are looking to get sell the Chinese 757s?

Depends what you mean by lightest. You’d want the aircraft with the highest GTOW for a route like this.

Have a good one mate.

what was the reason the main runway was out of action I wonder?

The main runway is getting re-surfaced and is closed Sunday night-Thursday night all summer.

A friend recently flew with Onur Air from Edinburgh to Dalaman due to return to Edinburgh on June 26th at 20.40.
Plane went tech after take off from Dalaman and landed at Instanbul for an hour.
By the time they got back in the air the pilot said that they could not land at Edinburgh because the main runway was out of action. Im not sure what Onur fly but could the second runway not cope with a 737 or an airbus or whatever it was ?
Landed at Glasgow 3am..no buses available to take passengers back to Edinburgh…

Was this a justifiable excuse or was there another reason why they couldnt land at Edinburgh?

Would probably have been an A321. While I’m sure it could have landed (assuming weather conditions were good enough), I doubt it would have been able to get out again with a full load back to DLM so that would no doubt have influenced the decision too.

His booking Says Sunday though :confused:

Sorry meant it’d be Saturday before I got back to you! lol! It’s actually scheduled to be a B738, don’t know the reg yet though, but it’s SAAW that is based here just now.
