XL Airways 738s (Miami titles) and Transavia 73G @ EBOS

Post by OO-SBZ »

Lately, I could cyber-spot three unusual birds at Oostende.
Are they replacements after the demise of SLR?

Transavia reportedly operates the Oostende-Teneriffe and the Brussels-Las Palmas routes.

However as the Dutch spotters point out, the carrier will need them for the summer season... and the development of BasiQ Air

Didn't know that Excel also had some planes flying for Miami Air.
But I don know some of them are flying for Ryanair.

Regarding HV. As long as the summer seasons hasn't started they got enough capacity left to operate the SLR flight.
What will happen during the summer season I don't know. I think thse people will be flown to their destination by Thomas Cook and JetAir.

Touroperators can transfer passengers booked on SLR flights for the summer to Thomas Cook and JetAir and maybe some other carriers.

Best Regards,

These Miami Air Flights are not divertions from frankfurt ! The are fuelstops when they wly from the US to the middle East of vice versa. They do indeed also do fuelstops in FRA, but the ones we get at EBOS are scheduled fuelstops.

The posted pictures are showing Miami Air flights that were diverted from Frankfurt due to heavy snowfall. I'm not talking about other scheduled flights to Ostend.

They don't have a tight schedule, sometimes they come here 3 times a week, and other times we don't see them for 2 weeks. But normally if a Miami Air comes to EBOS, we know from 2 days before.
If tou look on TV1 Teletekst page 383 you can see them as BSK or RCH.
BUT if you see RCH, that doesn't automaticly mean it's a Miami, could be something else too.

No the El Al flight was not a divertion. It was a scheduled flight. El Al will fly cargo to EBOS once in 2 or 3 weeks. Unfortunatly, it will always be in late evening/night.

RCH is mostly used by American militairy flights, usually Evergreen 747's and Kalitta 747's, allthough the Kalitta's do sometimes arrive under their own code, CKS.
