Anybody found any of the Thomas Cook repatriation flights on FR24 yet? They're operating under MH flight codes but I'd be interested to know what callsign they're using. Once again, the CAA becomes the UK's 5th biggest airline overnight.

It would be some craic if happened the weekend of the Hard Brexit and half them needed visas or something, Brexit, Airbnb, the strong pound and general DIY book your own holiday and internet research has destroyed the charter airline and tour holiday industry.

Don't know Snowc. They usually depart within 2 hours or so of being on the ground.

It positioned from New York to Manchester and was on its way to Orlando from Manchester. That seems a terrible waste for an empty aircraft to operate those 2 legs empty, was there a reason it couldn't have gone from New York to Orlando?

It operated JFK-MAN on Sunday night for Thomas Cook as TXC2849 was cancelled so wasn't empty. Then as there was no outbound to MCO yesterday, it had no choice but to operate empty to collect people in Orlando.

It's a holding pattern, all aircraft are doing it into DUB at the moment. Daily occurrence.

I flew back from Stansted yesterday evening and we held off the Drogheda coast for about 20 minutes before starting our run in. An announcement was made inflight that the delays were as a result from poor weather earlier in the day.
