Iain Sealey 841536 Posted April 28, 2006 at 05:55 PM Posted April 28, 2006 at 05:55 PM BY098A/BAL098A NCL - MIR (Newcastle to Monastir) on Sunday 30th Will be the last service departing the United Kingdom, with the BY/BAL and "Britannia" name. As of May 1st, all BY/BAL (Britannia) will be replaced by TOM (IATA and ICAO) and the callsign "Thomson" Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Smart 908521 Posted June 16, 2006 at 06:03 AM Posted June 16, 2006 at 06:03 AM so if that was the last Britania flight out of Britain, not only would that be the end of an era but then why do I still hear Britania flights being called for boarding at work in the ususal 'flight BYXXXX' and als hear some on frequency as well? Sos just a general quiery Regards Gareth at EGGD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Sealey 841536 Posted June 18, 2006 at 10:51 PM Author Posted June 18, 2006 at 10:51 PM Probably becuase most p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]engers purchased thier tickets before the change over, so they probably have to use the old code as well, however ALL ICAO Flightplans are TOM and ALL Thomson flights use the flt number as the callsign, no more A or B Flights.

Gareth Smart 908521 Posted June 20, 2006 at 11:16 AM Posted June 20, 2006 at 11:16 AM but can that mean then that we can still fly as Britania if wewanted to? i know it is supposed to be as real as it gets but can we keep the memmories alive?

Gareth Williams 840232 Posted June 21, 2006 at 12:02 AM Posted June 21, 2006 at 12:02 AM In the same way that Concorde still plies her trade across the virtual Atlantic skies I think a Britannia callsign would not be amiss every now and again.
