Looks like something is wrong system wide.

TAY 8443 to Faro left 18:31 iso 13:55, delay +4h
TAY 541 to Heraklion left 18:55 iso 14:55, delay +4h
TAY 645 to Chania leaves 03:0 iso 19:35, delay +7h
TAY 453 to Athens leaves 11:30 iso 06:10, delay +5h

May be a knockdown effect but does anyone knows the origin?

Reportedly today's 14:00 flight to PMI was operated by G-BPNT, a BAe 146-300 painted in VLM colours.

I've heard that OO-TNG (733 GC) is grounded.

Hi all,

TNT Airways has a technical problem that was found during a check on the B737. As their fleet of pax aircraft is not that big it is hard for them to find solutions.

As we are an air charter broker we try to find solutions but in the middle of very high season capacity is very limited and expensive if found! We operated a flight with the BAe 146 of Flightline (UK) in VLM colors (VLM lease aircraft) and we try to fins suitable capacity for other flights!

Hope this info gives a good impression.

TAY 859 Brussels-Malaga has finally left Friday night, at 00h43: with almost 19 hours delay (source: brusselsairport.be, tracking). Wonder how many pax / tourists will enjoy their breakfast on Saturday morning.

The return flight TAY850 Malaga-Brussels also has this long delay: ETA was Friday 12h25, now delayed till Saturday 06h05 (not comfirmed yet). But trust the touroperators or their local agents in Malaga have announced the delay well in advance.
