VISITORS
Guess what - nothing new today.

FLEET NEWS
Emirates B773 A6-ENE (35603) made its first flight today.
Holidays Czech A/L A320 OK-HCB (2180), a regular Gatwick visitor between November 2011 & October 2012 until the carrier lost the Iceland Express contract, was ferried from Prague to Bournemouth today for painting for a new operator.
Lufthansa B733 D-ABXP (23874) left Frankfurt today for scrapping at Tulsa, OK
Monarch A306 G-MONR (540), which is at Tupelo, MS for scrapping was cancelled from the UK register yesterday.

ROUTE NEWS
Estonian Air. Having cancelled its plans to operate into LCY this year, it seems that the carrier will return to Gatwick this summer with a thrice-weekly service from Tallinn. Somewhat confusingly, & in another apparent volte-face, Airlineroute reports that the carrier will only operate CRJ9s as the "planned transition to all-Embraer E170/190 fleet has been called off followed by the restructure as E170 aircraft & Saab 340 are being phased out".

I-SEAS DA900 eta 07.35 as SNM051
OE-GYB HS125 eta 07.35 as MJF9H
9Y-LHR B763 eta 06.10 as BWA904, etd 21.50 (second visit)
