757 Phase Out?

A couple of guys at airliners.net have said Thomson is retiring the 757. Can anyone find a source on this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.206.98.227 (talk) 04:32, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

Undid work by 86.12.114.15 as it seemed to have messed up the infobox, now it is fixed

Founded?

Hi, I am kinda confused why the formation date has been changed to 1947, as we are talking about a brand new airline formed in 2008? so why is it 1947? It should be 2008 in infobox and 47 somwhere else. Regards, Zaps93 (talk) 19:36, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The company was formed in 1947 changed to Britannia then Thomsonfly then Thomson, it wasnt a new airline formed in 2008 just the name has changed. MilborneOne (talk) 19:38, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But it is a new brand, like Thomsonfly was, Britannia, they all re-branded, therefor they require the formation date of the newest Thomson Airways. Regards, Zaps93 (talk) 19:40, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have tweaked the infobox to say founded 1947 but commenced 2008. MilborneOne (talk) 19:42, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that is much better. Much more understandable, although wouldn't (as 'new' Thomson Airways) be better? Zaps93 (talk) 19:43, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I still dont know the name it had in 1947 I understand it was Euravia before Britannia but I need to find a reliable source. MilborneOne (talk) 19:47, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Air Operator's Certificate: Origin

The article states that "...in September 2007, First Choice Airways and Thomsonfly merged, with all flights being operated under the Thomsonfly CAA Air Operator's Certificate since 1 May 2008."

I have added a fact tag to this statement. I may be losing my memory, but as I recall it was the First Choice Airways AOC which was used to form Thomson Airways, not the Thomsonfly AOC. Can anyone provide further info or a source? Thanks SempreVolando (talk) 23:51, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fleet details

Regardless of what the incorrect wikipedia page states, the Thomson Airways fleet currently consists of the following number of aircraft; (As of 17/2/2012) A320 x1 A321 x2 B737-300 x2 B737-800 x21 (5x on order / 3x coming to end of lease) B757-200 x21 B767-300 x10 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.237.168.167 (talk) 16:48, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted your change to show what the reliable source rather than the amateur shows:

A320 x 4
A321 x 2
B733 x 2
B738 x 19
B752 x 24
B763 x 10

which equals 61 which if you add the three leased out 737-800s agrees with your amateur source. You appear to be short a few A320s and B757s all of which are listed in the source you gave as well as G-INFO. MilborneOne (talk) 18:19, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Incidents

This would be good to know if anyone will do.
