VISITORS
THY supplied both today's newcomers. We had our first sight of one of the carrier's A319s (which are usually as rare as rocking horse droppings) when TC-JLY (4774) arrived on the scheduled lunchtime service, while an additional aircraft, also arriving from Istanbul, was B738 TC-JHL (40976), which landed early afternoon, three hours later than originally scheduled & is due to depart to Tunis later this evening.

FLEET NEWS
Air Moldova E190 ER-ECB (19000325) was ferried from Chisinau to Munich today for removal of decals following lease to RAK A/W.
Flybe. The next E175, G-FBJE (17000336), is due for delivery in April (the 6th is pencilled in at present) & may be delivered direct to Manchester. DH8D G-JEDJ (4058) has been handed back to Bombardier, but remains at Exeter with no departure date scheduled at present.
Hi-Fly. I omitted to mention that the carrier has returned A343 OY-KBM to SAS & it re-entered service with them on 2/2.
Meridiana Fly MD83 I-SMEC (49808) has become YR-HBD & delivered from Perpignan to Bucharest today. It had been thought that EI-CIW (49785) had become YR-HBB with Medallion Air, but it now transpires that it went to Kam Air as YA-KMD.
Norwegian Air Shuttle B733 LN-KKO (24909) was ferried from Lasham to Norwich today for painting for a new operator.
