This morning's Ryanair from/to Dublin is the 'non standard' B737-73S EI-SEV - is it still in its 60 seat, 2 x 2, 48" pitch executive configuration?

According to Planespotters.net it was re-configured back to Y148 in June 2016, although it is still used as the crew trainer, as well as doing some schedules.

As mentioned in the BA thread, they are moving around a lot of the Airbuses. Looks like 6 of them are parked at the tower stands this morning which makes for a unique photo opportunity.

I'll go take a look this afternoon.

Rumours of charter flightsfrom China for inbound students? Anyone heard anything?

Chinese students have been coming to Glasgow for several years now, has there been a special charter before ? And given that there's bound to be less students physically attending this year is there any case for a special flight ?

There were a goodly number of young Chinese passengers on my return flight last night from LHR to EDI on a very busy 321neo. Not sure if they transferred from BA or the CZ 380 as I understand that China Southern are now in the process of leaving Skyteam for Oneworld.

The GLA departure was an A320 which left around 35 minutes before my flight so wouldn’t know if there were also students on that flight too.

Can anyone confirm the current locations of the A321s?

I assume that A320s G-EUYE, G-GATH, G-GATM & G-TTNE are all on maintenance

Walking around dumbarton Road at weekend, there are no requirements for a Charter. They are already here!

Didn't get over the other day after all, but having just driven from Renfrew after a doc check up via Abbotsinch Rd, there is only one A321 left north side and I could see a small cluster of maybe 5-6 BA tails around BAMG but impossible to accurately count or identify from the car.
