I heard them on the way out so this might make sense to someone here 'on route to Bamba(?) area' is what I thought they told ATC. I saw their route on FR24 before they disappeared showed them coming from the middle of the sea around Guernsey.

BANBA that would be- it's basically a waypoint on the border of Irish and UK airspace.

Never heard of this lot - where will they be flying to from LTN?

I assume because it doesn't get regular flights to and from the airport which appear on FR24 .

Lately i have seen the Manchester and Birmingham flights on FR24. Waterford Airport is on the radar view map in the Premium version of FR24 so not sure why its not on the main web and app versions.

Thomson have a long standing agreement with Sunwing. Basically SWG lease aircraft from Thomson for the winter, they then return to Thomson for the summer. In some cases aircraft are wetleased and operated by Sunwing crew in Europe.

They used to the same thing with Skyservice (now defunct Canadian carrier) years ago too (Actually back when Thomson was First Choice) I remember being on a SNN-ACE flight, Skyservice a/c and flight deck crew. Cabin crew were First Choice- the funny thing was they had to play the safety announcements in french also, it being a canadian airline.

Makes sense really when they don't need the excess capacity in Europe over Winter and can send it somewhere useful

Quick question, why is this flight showing MIA - JFK and yet coming in over IRE?

Remind me never to ask for directions off you!

Not all routes shown by FR24 are correct.

Some flights may be using a callsign that was used on a previous flight, or some may be just continuing onto another part of the world on the one callsign. Think of BA's BAW1/3 as a example, LCY-SNN-JFK on the one callsign.

This flight is on its way to Brussels, regular enough.

ANC-MIA-JFK-BRU-ICN-ANC I believe.

I've seen it before where the destination is wrong, following as it lands somewhere else. Quite likely to return to JFK from wherever it's going.

You do realise flights are regularly routed up the East Coast of the US/Canada and over Greenland into the UK even from Miami, even the thought the Majority cross South of Ireland into the UK.

From Miami to New York?

FR24 data for the route is wrong obviously.

Really? So you're saying that a flight going from MIA - JFK and being routed to a different continent would be completely normal? You can't just admit you were wrong and made a mistake?!

Calm down big balls, you do realise the data is incorrect on its route?

Anybody notice the AA49 flight from CDG to Dallas which was squaking 7700 half an hour ago. Seems to have reached 0ft three miles from CDG.
Is this a data error

No times outs, ad free and a different view. Nothing special about it.
