How many Thomson aircraft operate from Newcastle? I flew on a 767 (and possibly a 757 on the way back…) when I went to the Dominican Republic last October. On the way back the IFE system kept crashing and the reading lights were on and off like a disco. How old are they?
By the way, what does “gone tech” mean?? In need of repair?
In the Winter TOM have a 757 and a 738 based with 767s doing cruise charters.
Infact we have had 2 return leg cruise charters in early this morning a TCX A332 from Santa Domingo and about an hour later a FCA/TOM 763 from La Romana
The TCX A330 takeing off empty was rather impressive in the windy conditions!
In the summer NCL gets 2 757s and a 738 from TOM! With a MAN based 763 postioning up to operate the SFB and CUN.
Going Tech really is just a term for saying there is a problem with the plane!
We tend to keep the same 737 for periods of the year of course getting swapped when hanger checks are needed, but ive known the 757s to be swapped with other base’s upwards of 3 times in a week in peak times!
