OO-TUC 767-300ER delayed

TUB023 · Post by **TUB023** » 03 Oct 2005, 13:18

seems that TUI better get's another 767. if they are gonna keep flying this one it probabley won't be the last problem.

Glad my TUI flight with an Icelandair plane went smooth last November when flying to Puerto Plata through Punta Cana!

Oh no instead of having serious problems the interior fell appart! So might have been safe but from an inside point of view very unsafe!

Don't understand though since it's low season sure they can borrow a plane from sister company thompson for example! Why Corsair?

Corsair is also a TUI airline.

IDG is an electrical device which provides power for the aircraft AC system, a 767 has three of them. Every single one is able to provide enough electrical power to have all the systems up and running.
Each engine has an IDG and the APU has one.
A/C is dispatchable with one IDG inop. (In this case I guess one of the engine IDG's was inop).
Don't know if an IDG inop affects the ETOPS state of the aircraft.
If this was the case and in flight the crew noticed the APU is inop, they had only one servicable electrical generator, forcing them to make a precautionary landing.

AN APU has no IDG, but a generator.

Thanks André, I just didn't know that! Well done my homework and here is their entire fleet:http://www.tui.com/en/konzern/companies ... sheet.html

Shouldn't they rationalise their fleet? Shouldn't they just have 3 different aircrafts catering for small-medium and long haul destinations?
Say they based a A319, A321 and A330 in Koln as replacement planes. That would enable All sisters airline to have a replacement plane fairly quickly! Less disruption for passengers, cheaper maintenance costs! A better strategy since it would have less bad publicity!:!:

Nice research. And funny to see that Britannia is based in Sweden...

And with 15 different types of aircraft, there is a lot of improvement possible for fleet synergies...

That will probably be the last aircraft with pax flying a westbound NAT today. And the pax will lose their first day of holiday.

This really isn't good. TUB, do something about it, we're not used to this!

TUB023 · Post by **TUB023** » 04 Oct 2005, 23:46

aren't you used to it yet? last month the 763 had nothing but delays. i'm glad my flight with TUC departed with only 10min delay because of flight care strike

05/10 09:55 Varadero TUB8208 17:55

I have nothing against TUI Airlines Belgium and/or Jetair.

but can somebody explain what "cancelled" behind "delayed 19h25" means?

( now on www.biac.be/departures )

Big problems for the pax

today OO-TUC has a small delay (dompared to the last weeks)
Arrivals
09/10 06:50 Punta Cana TUB8602 10:28
via Puerto Plata
Departures
09/10 09:25 Sharm El Sheik TUB7543 12:20
via Hurghada

LX-LGX · Post by **LX-LGX** » 09 Oct 2005, 15:59

If you look at www.biac.be/arivals right now, you will see that TUB7544 is announced without delay, at 21h55.

Only luchtzak-members know that TUB7544, Hurghada via Sharm El Sheik, will have the same 3 hour delay: arr 21h55 will probably become arr 01h00.

Families and relatives of the passengers of that flight will only find out about the delay very little in advance. Respect for the passenger means: advise this delay asap, in order to allow those who have to pick up the pax to amend their Sunday evening plans.

I wonder how many of those TUI pax are informed on the new compensation rules by the EU on long delays. Will be a very high bill if all of these pax are going to put forward claims.

LX-LGX · Post by **LX-LGX** » 09 Oct 2005, 17:27

There is no financial compensation in case of a delay.

For a flight above 3.500 kms, only meals and drinks have to be offered when the delay will be 4 hours or more. When the delay is 5 hours or more, pax can ask for a refund.

If TUB-pax ask for a refund, they don't leave and they will loose their land arrangement. And that's more expensive then their ticket.
