OO-TUC 767-300ER delayed

Atlantis · Post by **Atlantis** » 09 Dec 2005, 20:18

The problems will stay till this aircraft will leave the fleet of JetairFly. I don't think that a D-check will solve the problem.

This aircraft was doomed to be a disaster for JetairFly. I hope for this company that it will not crash.

Once again, Jetair / Jetairfly / TUB doesn't care too much about it's clients: at this very moment, the incoming flight from Mexico is announced as delayed till 08h55 Saturday morning, while the departing flight to the Dominican still is announced as normal departure at 09h15.

When will TUB announce that the Dom-flight is delayed till 10h45? Too late anyway for most pax, who will all check-in around 07h15 a.m., to find out they could have slept 2 more hours.

http://www.biac.be/arrivals :
arrivals 10/12 Varadero via Cancun TUB8502 B767-300
07:10 scheduled
08:55 delayed

www.biac.be/departures :
departures 10/12 Puerto Plata via Punta Cana TUB8601 B767-300
09:15 scheduled

(if the Dominican is operated by another 763, I apologise to TUB)

I happen to be one of them passengers scheduled on TUB8601

. Read yr post when it was mighty fresh so thanks for the advance warning. TUB should pay you for that type of customer service ! I wonder what caused the delay in the first place...

OO-TUC arrived one minute too early this morning :

arr 11/12 Puerto Plata via Punta Cana TUB8602 763

. . 09:10 scheduled

. . 09:09 arrived

Today's flights to/from Hurghada are done by 738, so trust a doctor is now looking at our patient.

(the Sunday flight BRU-HRG-BRU usually is with 767-300)

Today it seems to be Thomas Cook/Martinair's turn:
MP 907 Scheduled: 9:10 - Cancelled

If soms seats were available, maybe the Cancun pax could be transferred to the TUB filght?

Will it be on VTM tonight??

Atlantis · Post by **Atlantis** » 13 Dec 2005, 10:54

Last week there was also a Martinair flight cancelled.

There's a Brussels-Brussels announced on www.biac.be/arrivals today:

TUB8103, 763, expected 07:40 and arrived 08:40

However, the TUB-flight to Montego Bay via Punta Cana is only mentionned once on www.biac.be/departures, which means the plane should be well on his way

departure TUB8103, Montego Bay via Punta Cana, 763:
06:05 scheduled
07:24 departed

Was there a return to the gate after push back?

Yes, technical on engine number 2. Problem was resolved in a short time.

Didn't expect this to happen that fast

Yes, technical on engine number 2. Problem was resolved in a short time.

And when the aircraft returned the next day and all pax were on board (with ofcourse a delay of at least 2.5 hours) they did an engine test at the gate (with noseloader attached, was quite a sight because of the wet tarmac) and afterwards they started working at that engine again for 20 minutes. Pax were onboard during this "operation" but finally left for Cuba.

In my humble opinion Jetair is doing what it's supposed to do. Atleast it's not walking the tin line between safety and profit.
Pax should be grateful they don't send them up with an aircraft that hardly meets the minimum.
I do understand that a delay is a bad beginning of your vacation and can put down the moral of the pax BUT a return or technical stop in another airport isn't going to do any good either.
To me it's pretty simple, if an aircraft doesn't meet the minimum it's not going up, and even if it does, it's still the captains call.

I can understand the point some are making for a replacement and/or D-check and your probably right, it might do good but we are NOT Jetairs accountants and know nothing about the figures that Jetair is having.

What exactly is the importance of 45 minutes delay?

What if you have a 45 minutes delay in LHR (coming in from somewhere else), with "the world's favourite airline" on wich you have to catch a connection to BRU (as last flight of the day leaving around 21.00LT)? I guess "those 45 minutes" do make a difference.

Frederic, I know what you mean, but please... remain a little bit on-topic (as I have to do all the time).
