54 scheduled arrivals tomorrow, which isn't bad for a Wednesday in May. It always used to be the quiet day of the week!

I hate to say it but tomorrow is actually Tuesday! Well I hope it is or I'll havd missed an important meeting.

Doh!

I have to agree. Tomorrow is Tuesday! Every day feels the same to me though. It's an age thing.
54 is still good, for a Tuesday in May.

 

[lbaspotter]

To be fair FM is the first to let the B733 fleet down this summer.

Yeah I know it’s only May!

 

[LsS27]

Don't worry about the age thing WH. Welcome to the club!

Anyone see it take off/land? How did it perform, as must be the first one with pax and luggage albeit not to capacity on the deck?

This aircraft is a standard A321 and we have had lots of this model in and out - Monarch used to base them here and WIZZ amongst others operate them regularly in addition to the NEO. Doubt it would perform any differently to the others.

I believe ZB based the A320 at LBA, not the A321, GolfFox.

True. Although they did occasionally substitute the A321. We've had plenty of them over the years though with various airlines.

I flew to Naples on a Monarch A321 - and (incorrectly) assumed it was a based aircraft.

Jet2 send in an A321, KLM a B737, what next.... TUI B787?

TUi sending in anything at all is always good as it means it's neither cancelled nor diverted!
