Seems the TUi deal is a big driver for MLB Airport: https://melbourneorlandointernation...mlb-terminal-renovation-and-expansion-project

Can anyone confirm that the Air Tanker A330 will now not longer be based at Manchester for TUI? I have been told its being replaced by a SmartLynx A320?

 

[Matt995]

TUI's booking engine, now seems to confirm that 1 SmartLynx A321 will be based for summer at MAN, 220 seater aircraft.

I am going to Marbella in May so flying to Malaga...at the moment the TUI app shows 767 for both ways...I'm preying this doesn't change. It's been 20 years since my last 767 flight and probably my last.

TUI seem to have 3 leased aircraft at Manchester from tomorrow. A320 ES-SAM and ES-SAY from Smartlynx, and B757 EC-HDS from Privilige Style.

Plus the B787 SE-RFZ which is on the way and due 20.01

Yes forgot about that one. SE-RFZ is going to operate almost exclusively on Manchester-Cancun.

My friend was due to fly from Manchester to Tenerife tomorrow. But they received the following email this morning from TUI.

Now they're rebooked to fly with Ryanair from LBA.

Does TUI self handle at Manchester?

Good for them

No I think they use Swissport

As Paull says unlikely as I'm sure Jet2 self handle at MAN. Just for a comparison we arrived back at BHX in with April TUI from Montego Bay and waited 40 minutes for the airbrdge to be connected.The cabin crew said waiting for Swissport and also said in conversation that Jet2 always get priority I explained they self handle!

A couple of weeks ago we flew flight only with Jet2 on arrival steps and bus awaiting, bussed to immigration through BHX in around 30 minutes, we were hand baggage only but the hold luggage for others was already coming off the carasols.

Amazing what you can achieve if you have as much control over your business as possible.

To be clear this is not knocking MAN in anyway just two single experiences with different airlines having different policies.

P.S. both flights were late arriving at BHX, TUI 2hrs, Jet2 a bit less both saying due to security delays in Birmingham on the outbounds.

 

[IanFarquharson]

There is a schedule of all the MAN TUI canx on Pprune - what a nightmare.

 

[Scottie Dog]

Just to confirm, TUI are handled by Swissport at Manchester.

Best wishes for the Jubilee weekend from a warm Cumbria.

Attached is an article from Lancs Live concerning BY 216 a 763 G-OBYK which was due to fly to Boa Vista on 27 June from MAN. It returned after there was a problem with one of the engines. Typical reporting by a REACH publication I would add. Link to the article here https://www.msn.com/en-gb/travel/ne...7397d6f4cfdb8e9a33306f11037&ocid=winp2sv1plus.

I believe the 763 involved has now gone to St Athan to retire (not confirmed)! Anyone more info?

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

It seems very knee jerk reaction. That would definitely ruin the plans for summer if they were to retire this jet and dramatically.

I hope TUI have a long ol’ look at their S23 programme. What TUI also need is an aircraft order to assist with expansion in their most profitable of markets - U.K.
