EasyJet. These B737 retirements are driving me mad with continual changes to & cancellation of flight plans! G-EZJJ (30245) was flight-planned to fly from Filton to Stansted yesterday, but for some unknown reason, landed at Luton. It was then ferried down to Southend this morning & is confirmed as having arrived there in full Sun Country scheme. G-EZJL (30247) should fly from Southend to Stansted via Manston tomorrow, though after recent events I am not prepared to guarantee that it will even leave Southend! This one is due to become PR-VBO with Gol.
Ryanair is certainly catching up with its B738 deliveries with two more arriving at Dublin today - EI-EBH (37526) & EI-EBI (37527).
