VISITORS
Two more first visits today starting with Gulfstream 4 N407NS (1407 ex N407QS, N40HB) registered to CIT Leasing Corp, which arrived in the early hours. Our second newcomer was Emirates B773 A6-ENE (35603) on the lunchtime service from Dubai. Of the latest batch, only A6-ENE is in the three-class configuration, while A6-ENA/B/C/D/F are high density & will be rarely seen at Gatwick. Of the next three to be delivered, A6-ENG will be three-class & A6-ENH/I are high density.
RAF HS125s are a rare site here these days, so it was good to see ZD704 make an appearance. This particular aircraft made its first visit to Gatwick way back on 11/09/83.

FLEET NEWS
Aerosvit B734 UR-VVP (26290) remains at Kiev after yesterday's ferry flight to Shannon was cancelled.
EasyJet A319 G-EZMS (2378) left Southend today as CC-AIB on delivery to Sky A/L.
Norwegian Air Shuttle B738 LN-NIE (39435) arrived at Oslo today on delivery.

ROUTE NEWS
