VISITORS
Nothing new today, but a late arriving one yesterday evening was CL605 OE-INK (5825) of Transair Bedarsflugunternehmen Gessellschaft, which was a Farnborough diversion as it couldn't depart from there prior to 22.00.
Making their second visits today were Arkefly B763 PH-OYE, which arrived to operate a Monarch service to Tobago, & THY A320 TC-JPA on the afternoon flight from Istanbul/Ataturk.
I am not sure whether it is a semi-permanent move, but US A/W has used an A332 instead of an A33 on its Charlotte service for the last three days.

FLEET NEWS
BMI A332 G-WWBD (401) flew its last revenue service on Saturday  & left LHR today routing via Bangor, ME for scrapping at Orlando/Sanford.
EasyJet A320 G-EZWF (5319) made its first flight yesterday as D-AUBE.
Flybe E145 G-EMBX (145573) was due to be ferried from Exeter to Bournemouth today for painting for NovoAir of Bangladesh.
Lufthansa B733 D-ABXN (23872) left Frankfurt today for scrapping at Tulsa, OK.
Pegasus B738 TC-AAK (35094) was noted at Norwich in Nok Air scheme yesterday
Virgin Atlantic A333 G-VGEM (1215) was registered yesterday following lease to China A/L as B-18392. It was due to leave Taipei today bound for Manchester via Delhi for painting.

ROUTE NEWS
Estonian Air has cancelled its plan to operate from Tallinn to London City from next March. Whether this means a return to Gatwick, or a complete cancellation of operations to the UK is currently unknown (though I suspect the latter).

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
Citation 560XL G-DEIA (6119) was registered to JAYMAX JERSEY yesterday.
