Birmingham: TUI Airways Flights, New Routes & Base Updates

[Coathanger16]

Also i wonder if with the 757s going BHX might see some more 787 short haul routes as well.

More likely that we'll see 737 MAX 10's as that is what TUI is using to replace the 757.

I think the 737s are MAX 8 not 10s of which they will have 6 by next summer , I believe upto
3 will be based at MAN and at least a couple at LGW to replace B757 flights ( 4 to have gone by May next year )
with them all gone by next winter

They've got orders for both:

Try as they might the airlines and manufacturers are finding the 757 a difficult aircraft to replace in some circumstances given the combination of its capabilities re runway performance, range and capacity. I wonder if Boeing regret closing the line when they did.

I believe there going to be 14 based in the uk

max 8 or max 10?

 

[BHX492]

max 8 or max 10?

The max 10 not sure on the amount of max 8

 

[mullion]

They have converted 10 of the 70 aircraft order and the design was finalised in the summer so guess probably several years before in service, my guess 2022

Yes I have seen that post but it is over a year old now and as they haven`t even cut any metal for the MAX10 yet it will
then have to be built and tested before they even deliver any aircraft
The first MAX8 for UK will be delivered to Manchester sometime this month and will enter service in December
on a number of Manchester routes
As we know the order for 70 aircraft covers several countries and the allocation of aircraft at present is not
confirmed

I believe they have choose where the max 10 are going the uk and Belgium but still haven’t chose where the max 8 are going

Seems a but unfair on the poor folk of Manchester to be using them as guinea pigs to test a brand new aircraft - one that's already had an FAA emergency order issued 🙁

 

[mullion]

Ha Ha yeah never mind we seem to be getting quite a few MAXs now, mind you prefer the A320/1NEOs

 

[North_Aviation]

I believe they have choose where the max 10 are going the uk and Belgium but still haven’t chose where the max 8 are going

G-TUMA, The first 737 MAX 8 for TUI Airways, is due to roll out of the paint shop in the coming days, so we will be seeing a delivery flight in the coming weeks.

You can check the following website to see the status of it as it's very helpful.

Just look for G-TUMA, LN: 7211!

All 737 MAX 8s are being placed at Manchester until further notice it seems.

 

[North_Aviation]

The max 10 not sure on the amount of max 8

TUI UK, have 47 737 MAX 8s ordered.

 

[North_Aviation]

Also, I know TUI are going to aquire 2 Boeing 737- 800 (NextGen) Aircraft from TUIfly Nordirc.

SE-RFY Due DEC 2018 as G-TAWX
SE-RFX Due DEC 2018 as G-TAWY

Verona isn't bookable for S2020, not just BHX though it's the same from all bases.
