TheTeapot Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Did the mail plane that broke yesterday and led to that 737 being here leave? Will there be mail arriving in the morning or is that two broken planes now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newaccount Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Post on Facebook: "we were on the runway waiting to go to Manchester at the time. The captain said that that specific plane didn’t have a tow bar so they needed to fly one over from Manchester but by the time they could possibly look to do that ATC was closed so our plane was cancelled " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newaccount Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 West Atlantic or handling agent will get the blame for their being no tow bar. So, what's the plan for the tow bar? Bring one overnight on the Ben? Or fly it over in the morning using a small plane and the short runway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt_Mainwaring Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Is it definitely still at the end of 08/26? I see the ATR departed on 21. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingpeelman Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Far as recall - there’s never been a B737 tow bar on island. When that aircraft type has visited, it’s always remote parked - or used the stands at end of pier. Was this airframe brought in to take the backlog of freight?

Was it just the one mail plane that had been previously cancelled, usually the ATR covers that OK? Perhaps the B737 was all West Atlantic had (think it's the first time I recall them using a 737 on this route) or maybe there was a higher than normal volume of mail to despatch?
