VISITORS
Four newcomers arrived this morning. First to appear was Air China B773 B-2089 (38675) in place of the customary A332 on the flight from Beijing. This was followed mid morning by BD700 N949GP (9049 ex N471DG) registered to Wilmington Trust Co & reportedly based at Tokyo/Narita. Recently delivered Emirates B773 A6-EGU (41079) arrived on the lunchtime service from Dubai & was followed by Aeroflot A319 VP-BWK (2222) from Moscow/Sheremetyevo (the first Aeroflot A320 family aircraft to visit us). The Aeroflot had shrunk from an originally expected A330 to an A321 then to an A320 & finally an A319.
Making a second visit was THY A320 TC-JPI.

FLEET NEWS
Emirates. Further B773 deliveries this year should include A6-EGV (38990), A6-EGW (35601), A6-EGX (35602), A6-EGY (41080), A6-EGZ (41081), A6-ENA (41082), A6-ENB (41075), A6-ENC (41083), A6-END (41084) & A6-ENE (35603). 
Norwegian Air Shuttle is set to receive a further seven B738s this year (of 69 currently on order), five of which are due to be LN-NGC (39016), LN-NGD (39049), LN-NGE (39050), LN-NGF (39017) & LN-NGG (39018). The carrier should also receive its first B788 in December.
THY B739 TC-JYH made its first flight today as N984TK.
Virgin Atlantic. Further to yesterday, N771RD (1231) has been returned early from lease to Ryan International & will shortly revert to G-VINE. It will probably be Gatwick based with service entry in September. A346 G-VSHY (383) should leave Gatwick for pastures new this week.

ROUTE NEWS 
Estonian Air is to suspend its service from Tallinn to Gatwick on 16/10. It seems as if it will restart next year.
