Just seen that movement is for Air Livery!

I can understand Iberia sending planes in, seeing as they're changing their livery (not that it's an improvement though), but why are TAP sending this plane in? As far as I know TAP aren't changing their livery, so are they selling this plane?

 

[User001]

Aircraft are required to be repainted every few years (forget the exact timeframe). Maybe Air Livery have won the contract for that work?

 

[andyc941]

TAP A332 was canx yesterday for some reason. It is due at 15:00 today and will be CS-TOM.

Lufthansa will operate the new A320neo D-AINA on the LH948/949 rotation on 28th Jan.

This will be the first visit of the first commercial A320neo. Will be commonplace soon no doubt, but always nice to record a first visit of a new type.

Ryanair are using EI-DCL in the Dreamliner colours on their flight from Riga, just landed.

Flybe BE326 BHX - ABZ - G-JECR is diverting into MAN having declared an emergency.

Technical problem apparently.

 

[EGCC_MAN]

EI-DCL appears to be MAN-based at the moment. There should be more photo-opportunities for those who require it. We just need some weather improvement!

 

[Aviador]

Thanks for that EGCC_MAN and welcome to Forums4airports!
