I think our based short haul 787 G-TUID is being pinched to operate in place of a poorly 767 at Manchester!

The Air Tanker A332 is on its way down Lanzarote departed an hour late looks like it could be BHX based for a while as the sick 767 repoted by Matt995 is I believe is being resuscitated down at Luton while our 788 is at MAN.

Mind you the way TUI seem to chop and change these days tommorows another day.

Why did they borrow our787 rather than just send the A330 to MAN, seems odd to cause issues on 2 fronts rather than 1 etc

MAN needed to have a plane painted blue

Yeah was watching a stream from Manchester on Sunday and they said next plane in is a TUI 787 from Birmingham I had a sneaky suspicion it was Angel Of The Sky aka G-TUID because that is my stalker plane always on Airport Action Streams and now at MAN when I was watching

According to FR24 G-TUID is at BHX but hasn’t flown today.

Yesterday TUI sent a 787 up to MAN from BHX then sent a 787 from LGW to BHX! All in the space of a hour! What’s that all about?

G-TUIC has gone to Prestwick this morning - do TUI have a maintenance facility there?

They seem to be getting in the same sort of mess as last summer. If the Air Tanker A332 does indeed position out to BZZ tonight as also according to Ian's bhxmovementsblog a B789 is operating today to Antalya with no return we could end up short of widebody capacity unless something else positions

Yesterday a 737H positioned out to EMA and I've read comment on the other forum that they are short of them due to problems with Sunwing. Also noted the other the Getjet 737is operating for them from BHX.

All a bit messy.

indeed G-TUID has just been parked all day at BHX, TUI's summer timetable actual has 1 789 & 2 738s spare to cover for any problems, 1 738 G-TAWW is at St Athan's for maintenance, & as mentioned 763 G-OBYF is at Luton being fixed too, so with G-TUIC at Prestwick for possible maintenance, its stretching them a bit thin!!

However the fact G-TUID has been parked all day, Max G-TUML was also parked up in the morning, so with Air Tanker & GetJet Airlines replacing these aircraft, it seems to indicate to me that TUI have crewing problems again! You would have thought that after last year they would have learnt from it!

A very nice Bombardier Global 7500 (9H-VIT) has just arrived from Lulea (LLA - it's in Scandinavia).

AirTanker A330 (G-VYGK, TOM730P) is due back at 03:56. It's then due to operate BHX - PMI (TOM85N) at 06:55.

What?I never mentioned 47000ft.
However, if you are referring to the flight tracking on FR24 -

https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/9h-vit#309b6588

It's not unusual for business jets to fly as high as 50000ft (FL500).
Please, if you are going to make these statements can you quote your source or give a link to the info, so that the rest of us know what you are talking about.

With many thousands of people heading to Istanbul/Turkey this weekend I wonder if our flights will be upgraded ?

nope no current plans to upgrade the BHX service for the next couple of days, I guess most of their spare aircraft are being sent to/from Manchester

 

[spentaylor]

According to FR24 TK 1967 is a 772 tomorrow?
