-They are taking over all these routes even though they only have 2 767-300s, are they getting more?

-That'll be a bit tight then taking over the lot. Surely they must be getting another 767?

-The reason why they are taking over is because Thomas Cook failed to find the third A330 they needed to expand ops, so just Manchester, Gatwick and glasgow next year

-If TCX could operate them all, plus their other LGW/MAN routes with 2 A330s why can't Excel with 2 767-300s?

TCX also use the A330 from GLA to Calgary, Vancouver and SFB

The details are a little sketchy at the moment but it appears Thomas Cook has ditched some of its planned Cuba routes next year from Gatwick, intead taking the flights from a third party airline Excel Airways, with flights been operated by a B767-300.
Routes that may be affected:
LGW - Cayo Coco
LGW - Holgiun
LGW - Varadero
Like i say the details are a little scarce at the moment ...
