    Gatwick Roundup 30/06/2008

    VISITORS

    Today’s first visits were made by Global Jet Luxembourg’s Falcon 50EX P4-JET (295 ex I-FJDN) & Ion Tiriac Air’s brightly coloured Galaxy YR-TII (089 ex 4X-CVH, N289GA, OE-HTI).

    FLEET NEWS

    Astraeus. Due to the general downturn in the market, the airline will not now add B752 G-STRW to the fleet. In its place, G-STRZ (27622) will operate for Ghana A/W.

    Easyjet A319 G-EZDM (3571) is expected to arrive Stansted on delivery from Finkenwerder tomorrow.

    Flybe. Adding to yesterday’s comments, G-EMBD (145039) flew to Marseilles on Friday. Does anyone have any further information? EMB195 G-FBEL (19000184) was based at Birmingham, but now seems to have moved to Southampton. Despite all the problems besetting the airline industry, Flybe announced today that it expects to return record profits when it announces its results. This is mainly due to the introduction of low fuel-burn aircraft & even with fuel at its current price still makes up only 24.6% of the carrier’s cost base (much lower than most airlines).

    Ghana A/W. As noted above, B752 G-STRW will not be delivered & G-STRZ will take on the Accra service instead. This is expected to fly from Keflavik to Norwich tonight/tomorrow morning for painting in full Ghana A/W scheme & should be ferried back to Gatwick on 6th July. In the meantime, Euro Atlantic B763 CS-TLO (24318) will continue to fly the route.

    Sterling has announced that it is to cut its number of pilots & cabin crew by twenty percent.

    Thomsonfly B738 D-ATUB (34692) is now in full scheme & was to be ferried from Maastricht to Hanover today. This will take up the marks G-FDZP in the near future. B735 G-THOD (24695) was carrying its new identity of VP-BXM at Luton today & its new operator is confirmed as Aeroflot-Nord.

    XL A/W. As expected, B738 F-HDXL (35279) flew from Paris CDG to Lasham this afternoon.

    ROUTE NEWS

    Norwegian Air Shuttle seems to have renumbered the Oslo service from NAX1348 to NAX5346.

    MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS

    An anniversary that I missed earlier in the year was the 40th birthday of Monarch A/L. Quite an achievement these days. The airline started services from Luton in early April 1968 with a pair of ex Caledonian Bristol Britannias & currently flies a mainly Airbus fleet. In case of interest, a list of aircraft operated by Monarch A/L past & present appears at the end of today’s movements list.
