VISITORS
Gulfstream 4 N707EA (1284 ex N1GN, N21GN, N150CM), registered to Emmanuel Aviation, diverted in from Luton on a first visit this morning. Also making its first appearance was Olympic Air A320 SX-OAR (3812) on the inaugural service from Athens. The latest addition to the Astraeus fleet, A320 G-STRP (0136 ex EC-GRF), dropped into Gatwick this afternoon, having apparently routed from Southend to Bournemouth & then to Cardiff before arriving here. It is still white & without titles & departed to Belfast this evening prior to returning later on. It's routing today seems to have been as follows:
* Southend to Bournemouth as AEU001K
* Bournemouth to Cardiff as AEU002K
* Cardiff to Gatwick as AEU005P
* Gatwick to Belfast as AEU006P
* Belfast to Gatwick as AEU007
