TOM have 15x 737-800's in their fleet and are expecting one more (G-FDZT) due in August 2009. You'll find a comprehensive fleet listing on Jethroe's Airfleets.

Does anyone know why Flight TOM162 from MAN to Mexico, Cancun, flying today at 9.15am was cancelled?

Hello,

Can anyone tell me for the bristol to sanford flight tomorrow morning, where the operating aircraft will be flying in from in the morning.

E.g will it fly from gatwick to operate this flight?? and is it usually about two hours before.

Also is it an ex tom or fca. And what 757-200s are in bristol at the moment is it two ex thomsons??

Thanks!!

D3ANO,

Do you mean TOM258/9? It positions in before the flight after operating TOM188 I think (may be G-OOBM). I haven't got time to go through them all at the moment. Former First Choice 757-200's are operating out of BRS at the moment.

D3ANO,

Acording to ACARS logs, last weeks flight operated TOM188/9, then positioned down to LGW before positioning to BRS the morning after.

I can not find any reasons why this flight was cancelled but I could take a wild guess at the Passengers numbers being very low due to the previous swine flu and all the people that have cancelled.

wish they would sort out the livery, at least put thomson stickers in large on the fca planes.

Hi can anyone tell me why thomsonfly have changed there departure times for the Newcastle to Cancun flight from 08.20 to 10.25. This flight was supposed to refuel at manchester on the way out, that doesnt seem to be happening now. We are worried in case they are using a smaller plane with less legroom
Thanks Jack

calanuk,

MAN-FUE-MAN (TOM2300/1) are operated by an Airbus A321-200. Refer to our What Aircraft? thread for more details.

jackmax,

Welcome onboard :tup
NCL-CUN-NCL (TOM568/9) are operated by a former First Choice Boeing 767-300/ER as normal. At 2,329m, NCL's runway isn't big enough to allow the aircraft to take off with the required fuel. Your flight is still operating via MAN outbound to brim the tanks and take off using MAN's 3,000m+ runways. The flight is non-stop inbound. I can't tell you why your flight times have changed by 2 hours, the schedule (released at the beginning of May before the Swine Flu problems) shows:

Dep NCL 0825, Arr MAN 09:15, Boeing 767-300/ER, Flight No: TOM568
Dep MAN 10:15, Arr CUN 14:45, Boeing 767-300/ER, Flight No: TOM568

It may be operating direct, they have started operating BHX-CUN-BHX direct which, like the NCL has always operated via MAN in the past.

It might have something to do with lighter loads or the generally lighter ex-fca 767 having 25 less seats

Tried booking seats on a flight in 4 weeks time with the call centre. Having started at 6 weeks prior then down to 4 I though I would be ok but now it appears to be 2 weeks before. Can anyone confirm this? My flight is 1 July, TOM126, MAN-PUJ
