[User0001]

Lufthansa A340-600 D-AIHZ left air Livery on Wednesday and was immediately replaced by sister aircraft A340-600 D-AIHR.

Next into the air livery hangar will be Condor B757-300 D-ABOJ which will be the first aircraft painted in the full new (grey) livery of Thomas Cook/Condor.

Love the new livery. I think it will work really well for them.

Im a fan of the new livery too. Really suits the transition into a scheduled airline (for TCX at least anyway).

I've not been up to MAN for many years, I must try and make time for a trip to the AVP, hopefully to coincide with one of the LH wide bodies coming or going.

I like it too. Trying to work out whether I prefer this or Thomson's new livery.

Well its easier to track when one is coming rather than going. This is because there is usually a heads up when a flight is planned, but, work can over-run and the heads up that the aircraft is out of the hangar is usually given when it is actually moving.

I believe the next Lufthansa is another A330 (seems to be the Munich based fleet that is getting repainted at the moment, only had 1 B747 from Frankfurt so far).

Lufthansa A340-600 D-AIHR left MAN around 1530.

D-ABOJ Condor B757-300 due into the hangar on Wednesday (already at MAN having been in the TCX hangar), and Arkefly B737-800 PH-TFA will also join the Condor on Thursday.

Condor B757-300 D-ABOJ left MAN in the new TCX colours on 29th November, and Transavia B737 left shortly before.

Lufthansa A340-300 D-AIGM is due at 1840 tonight from Frankfurt as LH9922.

 

[User0001]

D-AIGM A340-300 ha arrived and will be towed directly to the hangar.

 

[Aviador]

Are any of the Manchester based TCX fleet in the new livery yet?

 

[User0001]

Not yet Aviador. There will be a new A321 with sharklets delivered to MAN soon, which will have the new livery.

D-ABOJ will come back to MAN when the A321 is delivered to take part in a photoshoot.

D-AIGM A340-300 Lufthansa out of Air livery, D-AIGN A340-300 Lufthansa straight in behind it. Next up after is Austrian B777-200 OE-LPC.

 

[User0001]

Lufthansa A340-300 D-AIGN left Air Livery at approx. 1815 last night.

The hangar will now remain empty for the Christmas break, and next in will be Austrian Airlines B777-200 OE-LPD as OS9431 at 0800 on 27th December.

Meanwhile, Condor A320 D-AICC left the TCX hangar earlier and Nas Air A320 VP-CSS has just left and just crossing the English coastline on its way to Abu Dhabi.

In amongst the Dublin diverts, Austrian Airlines B777 OE-LPA arrived at 09:00 for Air Livery.

 

[User0001]

Austrian Airlines B777-200 OE-LPA is leaving the Air Livery hangar at 1900 and next in is Iberia A340-600 EC-LEV which as of 1741 is on its way over the bay of Biscay a IB2954.

 

[User0001]

Apparently Air Livery have over-subscribed order books for the Manchester facility this year. Not a single gap available until 2015 by all accounts.

To recap currently in is EC-LEV A340-600 of Iberia which will be the first A340 to see the new livery. Next in will be another Austrian Airlines B777-200.

 

[User0001]

Iberia A340-600 EC-LEV departed to Madrid earlier today as IB2955. It was in the new scheme, which, compared to the previous, is duller than dishwater.

Next in is Austrian Airlines B777-200 OE-LPC at 07:15 tomorrow morning.

 

[Aviador]

Any examples of the new scheme, doesn't sound good, "duller than dishwater" eer?

Thanks, your description was perfect. I'm not sure what brand they're trying to create with that one. It looks as bad as the Air Europa colour scheme if you ask me, horrendous.

 

[User0001]

Austrian B777 OE-LPC has left the Air Livery hangar, and Lufthansa A340-600 D-AIHB has now arrived and been pulled into the hangar.

Thomas Cook has a few aircraft in, including a Condor B757-300, TCX Scandinavia A321 and a new Condor/TCX A321 with winglets.

Im not sure whats in the Monarch hangar.
