VISITORS
Nothing new for us today.
On their second visits were Citation 525 D-INCS, Ryanair B738 EI-ESR, Cityflyer E190 G-LCYL & THY B738 TC-JGA. Somewhat strangely, the Swiss 146 routed in from LCY & departed to Zurich & doesn't seem to be a LCY diversion as I had originally thought.

FLEET NEWS
British A/W B752 G-CPET (29115) will undertake an acceptance flight from/to Gatwick tomorrow as BAW9270 etd 11.00, eta 14.00. It is due to be sold to FedEx as N956FD & should depart Gatwick later this month.
British A/W World Cargo/Global Supply Systems B744F G-GSSC (29255) arrived at Hong Kong on 5/2 on return to Atlas Air & will revert to N494MC.
EasyJet is reportedly actively evaluating the A320neo, B737 Max & Bombardier CSeries with a view to making a decision on its future fleet strategy by the end of this year.
Onur Air is to dispose of A321 TC-OAI (0787) to Kolavia. It was noted at Istanbul/Ataturk yesterday, white with titles & tail logo & is to be registered EI-ETK.
Thomson A/W B738 G-TAWB (37242) is due to arrive at Manchester at 06.55 tomorrow on delivery.
THY A321 TC-JMF (1233), which is at Norwich being prepared for Nordwind A/L, was registered to Bishamon Ltd on 31/1 as M-ABEE. 

ROUTE NEWS
THY is to introduce a second flight from Istanbul to Gatwick. Starting 24/4, THY1981 will operate on days 2,4,7 with an eta of 09.55 & this service will increase to daily from 28/5. The new service is due to be operated by an A321, with the existing THY1997 flown by a B738. Presumably passenger loads to date have exceeded expectations.   

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
In yesterday's 757 list, G-OOOH somehow crept in twice, please delete the entry with incorrect c/n 24292 (which belongs to G-OOOG). In addition, the date for G-MCEA should read 18/08/95.

Gulfstream 4 G-CFOH (1202) was cancelled from the register on 3/2 as transferred to the Isle of Man & has become M-PZPZ.

Due tomorrow:
A6-EGM B773 on UAE11 (second visit)
N424TM BD100 eta 19.15
NAX flights - 10G/NOJ (also 12J), 32A/KKR, 36C/NOQ, 38W/KKJ, 51ZC/DYR, 351L/NOC, 5818/DYO
