TUI Airways

I think this probably points to something else positive in all this. Yes it's been here 10 days but overall damage can't have been too bad if already fit to go. Not saying there hasn't been any but we all know it could have been far worse. TUI probably can't wait to get this a/c out of LBA today as heaven forbid having 3 TUI aircraft at LBA in one day tomorrow!

I've read just now that this aircraft is going to Warsaw for an overdue C check and that today is its deadline date. So presumably it was previously booked in for this , due to the start of the winter season .

Meaning if It dosent't get out of LBA today it will be stuck here with its CofA revoked.

I dont know enough about maintennance schedules but would the aircraft not be permitted to make a positioning flight to the maintennance facility?

Bit like taking an mot expired car for its mot?

I was wondering about about permitted positioning flights for maintenance.

As for driving your car to the garage, if it's M.O.T. has expired, this is a myth. If it's M.O.T. has expired then it will need to be transported (trailer, or possibly towed). Your insurance will not cover you to drive it anywhere if the M.O.T. has expired.

You can drive your car without an MOT to garage for an MOT test as long as it’s pre arranged. Google it.

So does this ask any more questions I wonder? Of course did say I wouldn't speculate in advance of AAIB findings but is interesting reading regardless

See, it's hard not to speculate, isn't it,?

It is now scheduled to leave toorrow I understand

 

[The Pole]

So it will be flying out without a CoA?
Does anyone know, what has been done to the aircraft over the last 9 days? Was it just a pressure washing or did it have a new engine installed?

I was told pressure wash to make it all clean and sparkly, two new engines and a new tyre and no doubt, a thorough inspection if the wheel wells , flaps, slats , and anything else that moves that could have been infiltrated by Yorkshire muck. But that's all not confirmed. Just what I've been told and read from others who have airport connections.

Still shown as today on FR24 with an estimated departure time of 1710. Nothing showing for tomorrow.

'WD doing engine runs starting 1440
And yes the flight-plan is still open for departure this evening.
Suppose it will depend on the results for the engine runs

I've read just now that this aircraft is going to Warsaw for an overdue C check and that today is its deadline date. So presumably it was previously booked in for this , due to the start of the winter season .

According to the CAA website the aircraft’s Airworthiness Review Certificate expires on 24 May 2024. The deadline for the C check may be one imposed by the maintenance company as these heavy checks are arranged well in advance and any deviation from the agreed schedule can have serious knock on effects for both the maintenance company and other airlines whose aircraft are due heavy checks by the company.

Can you elaborate on your speculation without speculating?

 

[Finger66]

Well yes and know I suppose lol. Just wondered if there was any malfunction aboard that had arisen since it's last major check. That's no slight on TUI because these sorts of things can happen to anyone and absolutely no evidence to suggest anything to that effect. Thing the term is "just being curious"

 

[White Heather]

The TUi 737 remains resident and didn't leave when due.

 

[lbaspotter]

The extra TOM3396 flight from Malaga which was initially due tomorrow is now showing for Wednesday, Nov 1st ETA 13:10

I looked up on the YouGov site and you are correct in that a car with an expired M.O.T. can be driven to a pre-arranged M.O.T. I'm happy to be corrected.

As I said yesterday, new flight-paln for 1000 this morning for Warsaw
