VISITORS
Norwegian Air Shuttle B738 LN-DYF (39004) made a couple of appearances from Oslo today, while the only other newcomer was Iberworld A320 EC-LAJ (3889) operating a Thomson sub from Malaga.

FLEET NEWS
Hamburg International A319 D-AHIN (3853) is spending far less time with Air Berlin than expected as it was ferried from Prague to Frankfurt today prior to delivery to Chengdu A/L. With thanks to ATDB here is a summary of the current whereabouts of the defunct carrier's A319 fleet:
D-AHIH A319 (3364) parked at Sofia & for Air Blue as AP-EDB
D-AHII A319 (3403) parked at Sofia & for Air Blue as AP-EDC
D-AHIJ A319 (3533) stored at Shannon
D-AHIK A319 (3560) stored at Shannon
D-AHIL A319 (3589) parked at Paderborn
D-AHIM A319 (3818) parked at Paderborn
D-AHIN A319 (3853) at Frankfurt for Chengdu A/L
D-AHIO A319 (3872) current with Air Berlin
Monarch A332 G-SMAN (261) arrived back at Gatwick in the very early hours of this morning following Hajj lease to Garuda. It still sports Garuda titles & tail markings.
Neos. Well done the one person who spotted yesterday's deliberate mistake put there to keep you on your toes! EI-EOF should read EI-DOF.
Norwegian Air Shuttle B738 LN-DYG (39165) left Boeing Field, WA today on delivery to Oslo.
Ryanair B738 EI-DAT (33554), which was recently registered as N598MS, is being painted at Dublin for OK A/W as B-5575. More aircraft are beginning to appear carrying "Comunitat Valenciana" titles as the carrier has won the right to advertise the Spanish region from Air Nostrum. Apparently, no less than 76 aircraft are to have these titles added.
Thomas Cook A332 G-OJMC (456) was ferried from Copenhagen to Manchester today following lease to the Scandinavian subsidiary.

ROUTE NEWS
None today.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
Gatwick reopened late yesterday evening despite another couple of inches of snow falling earlier & has continued to be fully operational throughout the day. The new owners are doing a very impressive job at keeping the airport open after the problems at the beginning of the month when we had the heaviest snowfall that I can recall in this area. As of 17.00, the BAA had finally managed to reopen LHR's runway 09R/27L. Flights from the Irish Republic have been very badly affected with numerous cancellations by Aer Lingus & Ryanair.
One of the two Phenom 300s due for FlairJet that I mentioned the other day joined the UK register yesterday, G-MGNE (50500017). Also registered yesterday was Falcon 900EX G-ENXA (219) for Enex Aviation.
Due tomorrow:
SE-RFH Ce680 eta 08.50, etd 10.20
