Thursday 1st March 2012

Hi Everybody.

The 1st day of March didn’t bring in anything out of the ordinary as far as scheduled movements were concerned, although Iberia did use their retro painted A319 EC-KKS on their only flight of the day.

The only other thing of note was Air Berlin using Germania A319 D-ASTB to and from Dusseldorf at lunchtime.

It looks like Vueling have taken up the Spanair slots from Barcelona, doubling the frequency from 4 to 8 flights per day, and amazingly they used 8 different aircraft.

There were 107 arrivals and 107 departures scheduled the breakdown of which was follows:
