Air Finland
Reg OH-AFJ
Boeing 757
c/n 26269/612
TCX420F  Thomas Cook Flight Number
Machester to Brize Norton

Seems strange reg to air finland but with a TCX flight number and why Brize Norton?

Thomas Cook must be short of capacity at the moment, they have also been using Mint AW B752 EC-LBC today.

Hi all,

I belive OH-AFI & OH-AFJ are Birmingham based for the summer as additional capacity. Not sure if its for only Thomas Cook or for anyone on an Ad-Hoc basis. I'm sure someone who is in the know will  tell.
