VISITORS
Meridiana A320 EI-EZO (1723 ex G-TTOD, I-EEZO) was today's first newcomer, replacing the customary morning A319, operating from Pisa rather than Florence & still sporting Eurofly scheme & titles. This afternoon saw Gulf 5 HZ-MS5A (644) of the Saudi Armed Services Medical Services, arriving from Paris/Orly also on its first visit to Gatwick.
As expected, Cirrus E135BJ D-ARTN (14500941) arrived yesterday evening post roundup on its first visit.

FLEET NEWS
Air Berlin A319 D-AHIN (3853) was ferried from Dusseldorf to Munich on Tuesday prior to return to the lessor. B738 D-ABKU (37744) made its first flight today.

ROUTE NEWS
None today.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
Having already announced that it will increase B737 production from 31.5 to 35 aircraft per month by early 2012 & to 38 per month from 2Q13, Boeing is to make a further increase to 42 aircraft per month by the first half of 2014. The B737 backlog is currently 2,100.
Interesting news is that easyJet is to open a base at Southend next April & will offer flights from there to around 10 destinations. It will base three A319s at the Essex airport.
