VISITORS
Three newcomers to mention today. First in was Ryanair B738 EI-EVM (40296) on the early service from Dublin & which also performed three more rotations during the day. Next was another Ryanair B738, EI-EVK (40298), which operated the early afternoon service from Cork. In case you are losing track, the following Ryanair B738s have not yet visited Gatwick - EI-ESZ, EVA, EVB, EVC, EVD, EVH, EVJ, EVL & EVN. Surprisingly, this leaves the backlog at only 14 aircraft, with EI-EVO/P & two others for delivery this year & the final 10 due next year. The third of today's newcomers was Lufthansa A320 D-AIPZ (0162) on the late afternoon run from Frankfurt.
On its second visit was Norwegian B738 LN-NIA.

FLEET NEWS
Air Europa B738 EC-LPR (36588) arrived at Madrid today on delivery. This is the first of 10 examples due for delivery this year, with a further 6 due next year, 6 more in 2014 & 5 in 2015.
Pegasus B738 TC-CPD (40726) made its first flight today.
