VISITORS
THY kept up an impressive run today, giving us our first (& so far only) newcomer of 2012, A321 TC-JMJ (3688).

FLEET NEWS
Thomson A/W B752 G-BYAO (27235) was due to be ferried from Abu Dhabi to Norwich today for painting for Allegiant Air with whom it will become N905NV. It does not, however, seem to have made the flight yet.
Viking Hellas A320s SX-SMT (0393) & SX-SMU (0414), which are parked at Montreal/Mirabel, were registered to AWAS as EI-EEX & EI-EEY respectively on 23/12.

ROUTE NEWS
None today.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
With a total of 58, December was a pretty good month for newcomers, even if it was 13 down on last year's 71, a figure that was swollen by an influx of extra biz jets due to inclement weather elsewhere in the south-east. This December's total broke down to 38 airliners, 19 biz jets & one biz prop & also included two new types for us, the E175 & the Ce525C. The month's total was helped greatly by the two new airlines that started during the month, with Vietnam A/L providing seven B772s & THY managing to send in two A320s, six A321s & four B738s that hadn't been to see us before. Three more new Ryanair B738s also showed up along with three more Emirates B773s & all four of the E175s that have so far been delivered to Flybe.
The "new" easyJet Switzerland A320 put in an appearance, as did the latest Belavia B733 (at last) & HiFly's new A343, while Lufthansa operated an A321 one day in place of a B737 & we had a first visit from another Ryan International B763. A pair of diversions gave us a BA A321 & our first sight of an American A/L B752, while another former BA B752 appeared outside wearing a US registration prior to delivery to FedEx (though it has yet to depart) & the latest Thomson A/W B738 was delivered to Gatwick direct from Boeing Field. Aerosvit seems to have struck some sort of deal with Ukraine International where if the latter's aircraft has enough spare seats to accommodate those passengers booked with Aerosvit, then the Ukraine International flight is retimed & operates the later Aerosvit slot. Whether this is just for the low season or a permanent change remains to be seen. Air Zimbabwe had B762 Z-WPF impounded here on 12/12, but it escaped back to Harare on 24/12 after money changed hands. Services to Gatwick have been cancelled since then, so perhaps they are afraid to return in case the same thing happens again (they had already suspended services to South Africa in case aircraft were impounded there).
On the GA front we saw, as previously mentioned, our first Ce525C & also had first visits from a pair of Phenoms, a Slovenian Ce525B & Bulgarian Lear 60. The only prop job was a Manx PC-12.    

As is usual for a Sunday, another instalment of nostalgia corner appears after today's movements. This week, it covers those Airbus A310s that have visited Gatwick over the years, with my grateful thanks to the Gatwick Aviation Society.

Some for tomorrow:
CS-DNQ DA2000 eta 08.35 as NJE382K, etd 11.05 as NJE029N
M-ICRO Ce525A eta 10.50, etd 11.30 (second visit)
