INDIVIDUAL AIRCRAFT YET TO "FIRST VISIT" AT LIVERPOOL
As at 31st January 2020

I enter this post at my peril of being shot down by other members who also keep an eye on 'first visits'. Actually corrections are welcomed, but bear in mind that this information is only correct to the last day of January 2020.

RYANAIR

With the delay to 737MAX there have been no new aircraft delivered for much of 2019, so all Irish registered aircraft have been seen at Liverpool (the final one delivered being EI-GXN). However during late 2018 and through 2019 aircraft have been transferred to the Polish and Maltese registers just to confuse everyone.

RYANAIR SUN (corrected)

Of the SP-RS* range (less SP-RSJ not used, but -RSQ was) only SP-RSZ to watch for.
Of the SP-RK* range (currently reached SP-RKG) only SP-RKD and SP-RKE, then SP-RKH onward when/if used.

MALTA AIR

Many have yet to be seen, as Malta Air aircraft have only appeared at Liverpool since the beginning of November,
In three months we have had:
9H-QAB, 9H-QAE, 9H-QAI, 9H-QAJ, 9H-QAL, 9H-QAN
9H-QBS, 9H-QBT, 9H-QBU
9H-QCB, 9H-QCS
9H-QDB
9H-QEB, 9H-QEH, 9H-QEN.
So far then only 15 of 76 Malta Sun (as per Jethros website) aircraft have called at Liverpool! Much scope for first visits then.
In the first 10 days of February can add 9H-QAO (9th) and 9H-QCP (6th) while 9H-QAE (2nd) was a repeat visit)

EASYJET

I've totally 'lost the plot' regarding A.320s yet to visit due to the transfer of many to EasyJet Europe (OE-). Anyone managed to keep their records up to date?

My lists do seem to indicate that there are still at least two UK registered A.320s that have never visited Liverpool: G-EZRT and G-EZWB
There are many in the G-EZP* and G-EZR* blocks (those delivered configured for 186 pax) that never visited as British, but are all now Swiss or Austrian.

The A.320neo's which have yet to visit, I record as being:
G-UZHB, G-UZHE, G-UZHF, G-UZHM, G-UZHT, G-UZHX, G-UZLA, G-UZLB, G-UZLF, G-UZLI, G-UZLJ onwards
No G-UZLE (a previously used regn), and deliveries have reached G-UZLJ in December 2019.

While the only A.321neo which has visited is: G-UZMA - all others will be first visits, if and when we see them. Latest delivery of 2019 was G-UZMG.

FLYBE

All the Dash 8-Q400 aircraft have visited, as has ATR-72 EI-GPP.

WIZZAIR

All of the current HA- registered A.320s have visited: HA-LPJ to LPZ; HA-LSA to LSC; HA-LWA to LWZ; HA-LYA to LYZ (less HA-LPP, LWW, LYY, but incl L.Q)
Of the A.321s, still require HA-LXG, HA-LXI and HA-LTH.
No A.321neos have visited yet, HA-LVA onwards and currently reached HA-LVG del 10/19
Of the UK registered A.320/321s, only G-WUKA (now HA-LSB) and G-WUKB (now HA-LSC) have called at JLA.
Although to be pedantic I've just found that G-WUKB is now HA-LSC (re-registered 10/19) and has yet to visit as such.

WIDEROE

Current Dash 8 fleet all visited: LN-RDV, LN-RDY, LN-RDZ, LN-WDF, LN-WDG, LN-WDH, LN-WDI, LN-WDJ, LN-WDK, LN-WDL (10)
Plus all 4 of the ERJ-190E2s: LN-WEA, LN-WEB, LN-WEC and LN-WEX.

BLUE AIR

Current fleet being used into JLA now appears using only their Boeing 737-800s. Currently the final older ones to call were:
B.737-500 YR-BAG on 22/11/19 and -400 YR-BAZ on 17/11/19).
So the B.737-800s are YR-BMB to YR-BMP (15 a/c). Of these only YR-BME did not appear at JLA in 2019, as some are leased out for periods.
I would think it likely a few more B.737-800s will be acquired for summer '20 to replace older aircraft withdrawn this winter.

LAUDAMOTION

Since Lauda commenced a service into JLA on 28/10/19 around half their fleet have been used on the twice weekly service.
So far (up until end of January '20) we have had: OE-IBJ/IHH/IHL/LMC/LOI/LOM/LON/LOO/LOP/LOQ/LOR/LOS/LOT/LOU/LOW (=15)
Which leaves, yet to visit (on the lists I've consulted):
OE-IHD, OE-LMB, OE-LOA, OE-LOB, OE-LOC, OE-LOD, OE-LOE, OE-LOF, OE-LOG, OE-LOJ, OE-LOX, OE-LOY & OE-LOZ (=13) plus OE-IHZ and another due soon.
Revised list: Yet to visit (as at 31.01.20) are: OE-IHD, OE-IHZ, OE-LMB, OE-LOA, OE-LOB, OE-LOJ, OE-LOX, OE-LOY, OE-LOZ (=9) (and OE-LOA is known to have visited already twice in February).
As a matter of record, they also currently have A.321s OE-LCG/LCJ/LCK/LCS and OE-LES in service.

Over to the 'eagle eyed' watchers on FR24 etc to spot further 'first visits' heading our way during 2020.

Each and every airliner that appears at JLA each month is summarised in at the end of the Monthly Visiting Aircraft Logs, which have their own section on nwan forum. First visits of new aircraft are noted in the main Log, although re-registrations within a fleet will only be in the summary section.

[ametyst]

Ryanair Sun (not Poland Sun) Boeing 737-800 SP-RKE visited yesterday from and to Poznan, and Lauda Motion Airbus A320OE-LOA is operating the Vienna flight this evening.

[viscount]

Ametyst, I suspect if you (or other members) looked back over the past 10 days, there are likely other Malta Sun or Laudamotion first visits during the first 10 days of February to be found.

Effectively what I've just posted is a version of my lists that I use each month to identify first visits in the Airport Visiting Log. Every so often I have to update the much annotated lists, which is why I've brought the current (well upto 31.01.20) situation to the attention of those who, like you, watch for the first visits and can cross-check that I'm not missing any. Likely this thread will update some too over the next few weeks.





Incidentally 'Wadoki', 'Ametyst' never claimed the visit on 10/02 was a first visit, just that it was on its way in.

[wadoki]

OE-LOA is not a f/v having visited on 3/2.

[Beemer]

Brian. There are a few Laudamotion regs that don't exist on your list, well not yet according to ADU.

OE-LOD?/LOE?/LOF?/ and OE-LOG is a DC-9 with Aviajet. Beemer.

While there is a internet fleet website that I trust to be correct and up to date for British Airlines (Jethros), finding reliable updated fleet lists for overseas operators is a bit hit and miss. I was careful enough to state "on lists that I consulted" - mind you I had not expected to be so far out!

Gone back using the same Goggle links and find there are two quite different Laudamotion fleet lists on the same website (Planespotters.net) depending on which link you follow. A current list and an historic list (which details delivery, but not of departure from the fleet, so is rather missleading list).

So a revised list of Lauda's fleet now reduced down from 30 to 24 aircraft, many of which have already visited JLA in just 3 months:

OE-IBJ, OE-IHD, OE-IHH, OE-IHL, OE-IHZ, OE-LMB, OE-LMC, OE-LOA, OE-LOB, OE-LOI, OE-LOJ, OE-LOM, OE-LON, OE-LOO, OE-LOP, OE-LOQ, OE-LOR, OE-LOS, OE-LOT,
OE-LOU, OE-LOW, OE-LOX, OE-LOX, OE-LOZ, (=24) with another for delivery shortly.

Of these, yet to visit (as at 31.01.20) are only: OE-IHD, OE-IHZ, OE-LMB, OE-LOA, OE-LOB, OE-LOJ, OE-LOX, OE-LOY, OE-LOZ (=9) (and OE-LOA is known to have visited already twice in February).

[Airbus A346]

RyanAir B737s EI-FIJ, FTI and FTZ were re-registered yesterday as 9H-QAY, QDJ and QDX respectively. This takes the total to 80, 120 aircraft will be eventually going Maltese.

Now up to 82, EI-FTD and EI-FTK became 9H-QDD and 9H-QDL respectively today.

[Airbus A346]

EI-FIS B738 became SP-RKS today.

[andyh]

Brian, is it possible to pin this thread so it doesn’t disappear into later pages as new daily threads are added? TIA, Andy

[viscount]

Andy, I've been pondering over that, or where best to place the thread so it does not disappear down the front page too fast.

My current thinking is that it may well do best on the 'Monthly JLA Movements Summary' section - where it is not out of place and the Section only advances at one thread per month and will shortly feature the annual visitors lists for 2018 and 2019. I've also been thinking about how best to present the data. Brian.
