VISITORS
Falcon 900EX M-FALC (031 ex F-GSAI, F-WQMB, HZ-OFC4), whose owner is given as Noclaf Ltd, made its first visit to Gatwick this morning.
Delete the reference to N70LJ being on a first visit yesterday as it previously visited on 10/7. Unfortunately, my usual source for such information had managed to omit it. Swiftair MD-83 EC-JJS (49793) made its second visit to Gatwick, operating for Atlas Blue once more, & Derek Malt advises that it still sports large UN titles under the wings.

FLEET NEWS
Flybe will lease a fourth DHC-8 to Olympic Air. This is to be G-ECOF (4216), which is currently flying for Wideroe as LN-WDW & is expected to return from Norway next month. G-FLBD (4259) was ferried back from Norwich to Birmingham yesterday in full Olympic Air scheme & delivered to Athens today. As expected, G-PTHA (4267) arrived at Birmingham today.

ROUTE NEWS
None today.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
According to a report in the Sunday Times, Virgin Atlantic has won the contract to fly the Prime Minister & officials to worldwide meetings. This was previously held by British A/W & Virgin reportedly undercut them by around 20 to 30%. A B744 is being refitted to include a conference room & the first flight will be to the G20 summit in Pittsburgh next month.
