VISITORS
Another day without any newcomers & just a second visit from Air Europa B738 EC-LQX to mention. Aircraft subbing for Monarch today were MD83 EC-KCX, B738 EC-LKO, B763 G-POWH & B462 G-ZAPK.

FLEET NEWS
HiFly A343 CS-TQL (133) positioned from Lisbon to RAF Brize Norton on 2/10 on a one-year contract to the UK Ministry of Defence to operate to Ascension & Mount Pleasant.
Ryanair B738 EI-EVY (40319) made its first flight yesterday, though the Puget Sound site is quoting it as EI-EVZ, which I suspect is an error. Still to make their first flights EI-EVZ (40316), EI-EXD (40320), EI-EXE (40321), EI-EXF (40322) & one more, which will see the end of the current Ryanair order. The carrier will then have taken delivery of no less than 350 B738s from Boeing, of which 298 are operational as of today. Whether Mr O'Leary will order any more or switch to another manufacturer remains to be seen.

ROUTE NEWS 
Avion Express is to operate a twice-weekly A320 service between Gatwick & Granada from 6/12 on behalf of Hispania A/W.
