VISITORS
Four newcomers today. The expected Thomson A/W G-TAWG (37266) positioned in early this morning before operating a Corfu rotation. This now means that all the new Thomson A/W B738s have visited Gatwick. Our next newcomer this morning was Phenom 300 D-CHLR (5500066), which was a diversion en route from Dusseldorf to Biggin Hill. This is only the second of the larger Phenom 300 variants to visit Gatwick. Lunchtime saw a first visit from the "new" Air Baltic B733, YL-BBO (29335 ex G-EZYK, HA-LKT, G-THOO), recently delivered ex Thomson A/W. Finally, THY A321 TC-JRY (5083) made its debut on the afternoon flight from Istanbul/Ataturk. As a by the way, we have had 159 first visits in the last 2 months & the year-to-date total is 333.
On their second visits were Air Italy B738 EI-IGN, Air China A332 B-6541, Estonian Air E170 ES-AEA & Atlantic A/W B463 OY-RCC. A further four aircraft made only their third visits today.
