VISITORS
Thankfully, things returned to what we have come to expect of late today with five first visits. Unfortunately, I missed the Aerosvit as I was attending a somewhat windy & damp Air Britain fly-in at North Weald, though I am sure that it will be back. First newcomer to arrive was the latest Emirates B773, A6-EGR (41077), on the early flight from Dubai & it was followed at lunchtime by the aforementioned Aerosvit B738, namely UR-AAN (38119). Late afternoon & early evening saw the other three newcomers make their appearances, starting with Lufthansa A320 D-AIQW (1367), which rather strangely arrived from Kalamata via Madrid, followed a while later by another Lufthansa machine, A321 D-AIDQ (5028), making its first visit on the second Frankfurt service of the day. The final newcomer was Air Italy B737 EI-IGT (32421 ex G-EZJZ), whose pedigree won't impress the frame merchants among you, operating a Meridiana Fly service from Olbia early this evening.
Making its second visit this evening was Ryanair B738 EI-EVD & also due to make its second visit later this evening is Korean Air B772 HL7575.

FLEET NEWS
Air Berlin A320 D-ABFB was ferried from Dusseldorf to Ostrava today for painting prior to joining Vueling as EC-LSA.
Spanair A320 EC-IIZ (1862), temporarily registered EI-EUG, was noted at Dublin on Thursday in full Vueling scheme awaiting delivery & will join the carrier's ever growing fleet as EC-LRY.

ROUTE NEWS
None today.
