I wonder if 1 of them will be a 787 rather than the split arrangement we have at the moment.

Think it's 4 737's .. there's 2 at the moment plus the 788 which makes it 5 based overall

Package holiday giant Holiday provider TUI has announced plans to increase its number of aircraft based at Glasgow Airport from four to six in summer next year.

The expansion will include two additional routes to Sal in Cape Verde, and the Greek island of Kefalonia, while this year’s winter services to Sharm El Sheikh will also continue in summer 2024.

Glasgow Airport said: “The decision will deliver even more choice and greater flexibility for passengers across 23 destinations in 11 countries. An additional 180,000 seats will be added on TUI’s most popular routes including Antalya and Dalaman, Mallorca, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Ibiza, Zakynthos and Rhodes next summer.”

First sentence should be from two to four, not four to six.

Good piece of business - Hopefully more in the pipeline! I wonder if the new CEO has had any influence?

The airport have put out 4 to 6. Are we due to get another 737 this summer and they are also counting the 787 as based if it’s here most of the week?
