Just done a little edit as I've just found out the aircraft types TUi Airways have allocated for its 5x weekly LBA Summer 2023 services

Boeing 737-800's will operate all Wed and some Tue & Sat Palma service along with the 1x weekly service to Corfu.
Boeing 737-MAX8's will operate the 1x weekly service to Dubrovnik along with some Tue & Sat Palma services

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

Boeing 737-MAX8's will operate the 1x weekly service to Dubrovnik

This will be a lovely difference.

Also looking forward to the Freebird A320 - be like the good ol' days of Onur Air.

 

[LBA4EVER]

This will be a lovely difference.

Also looking forward to the Freebird A320 - be like the good ol' days of Onur Air.

Finally we have a year of variation with both aircraft types and airlines!

Notes:

• The Sunday Palma flight will most likely be rescheduled to be operated by a non-based aircraft. Hopefully a Spanish carrier.
• Turkish flights will most likely be operated by Freebird once again. Unless one of the other Turkish carriers is chartered. Eg Sun Express, Pegasus or Corendon Airlines

Without doing further investigation the maybe others or more details to add. I just don't have time until weekend due work commitments.

 

[Easy289]

Good news. Are TUI finally going to show a bit more commitment to LBA?

 

[LBA4EVER]

Can this really be happening! haha

 

[LBAYORKIE]

I went into Tui on Lands Lane in Leeds yesterday. All deals in the window were ex Manchester. I was told there were so few flights from Leeds because Leeds didn't have the space to accommodate based aircraft. They also said that Dubrovnik had been axed for next year. I doubt the veracity of these comments but it seems thats what they are telling potential customers.

 

[Aviador]

Same old Tui

 

[Easy289]

DBV on sale for S24 from LBA so not sure where the agents info has come from. LBA does indeed have no spare stands to accommodate extra based units. Over to you LBA to construct new stands if the demand is there

 

[White Heather]

DBV on sale for S24 from LBA so not sure where the agents info has come from. LBA does indeed have no spare stands to accommodate extra based units. Over to you LBA to construct new stands if the demand is there

It's nothing to do with stands. I've said this many times before. No, LBA cannot accommodate more based aircraft, but it's the terminal capacity that is the issue, not the stands. Once the terminal has the capacity, and demand is there to base extra aircraft, they will construct the stands. It's phase 3 of the project. That is confirmed in the minutes if the last Consultative Meeting.

That said, I do not believe for one minute that TUi have been banging on Vincent Hodder's door demanding to base aircraft here. Last time they based here, they did very badly and withdrew. Operating Sunwing aircraft wasn't the reason they did badly - the reason was Jet2's dominance. Now DSA is gone, they may up their game but for now, W patterns is all they can consider.

As for their agents, in my experience from the past they say what they think is the case rather than what is factually true. They know no more about the negotiations between TUi and LBA than anyone else.

[The Pole]

WFH this week and noticed at least yesterdays and todays flights had a significant delay taking off, CFU arrived 20 mins late so picked up some time, yesterdays DBV was late by over an hour. Is this typical TUI as not noticed delays on EXS & RYR

 

[752]

Jet2/Ryanair have had plenty of delays this past week. Most likely due to air traffic control restrictions etc. TUI are not alone. all airlines have been struggling to run to schedule.

just to add to lbaspotters TUI schedule for summer 2024, all the flights above will be operated by a BHX based 737, however not yet sure if they will be B738's, or Max aircraft.

 

[lbaspotter]

Tui have dropped the 2x weekly Antalya service operated by Freebird for summer 2024 and will now take seats on the the 3x weekly Sun Express schedule route instead.

Freebird still look to be operating the 2x weekly Dalaman charter service on (Mon & Thu) for summer 2024.

Meanwhile the Sunday Palma service which is an addition for summer 2024 season, now see's a 4 week period where it doesn't operate between June 23rd & July 21st. Presumably the aircraft is required up North for the Scottish (Peak) School Holidays. The airline is also still to be confirmed.

The 2nd largest UK your operator Tui will still be operating 8x weekly charter flights during the peak summer 2024 season from Leeds Bradford as follows.

Wonder if this will see Sun Express add some extra weekly rotations

Makes me wonder if Tui are looking to get rid of Freebird altogether, as they've have got some really bad reviews.
Turkey is a long way for TUi to operate it with their own in-house airline's metal w-legging from other UK bases.

Whats the problem with Freebird? They seem to be very reliable/punctual.

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

I don't blame them taking Sun express. Nor do I blame Sun express for actually getting that deal. Good for both parties even if it's only 50 or so seats on the AYT rotations. There is no reason, Turkey, with TUI cannot do well out of LBA on its own metal.
