Is this going to have any effect on the packages TC will be offering from England to DR? I have flown a number of times on TC (and previously JMC), but all my flights from LGW to POP have been on A320(?) airbus. I don't know what they use out of Manchester though.

Thomas Cook will reduce its operations in Europe, they caught its fleet by 1/3. Flights to DR will be operated by B767.

I suppose that by "caught" you meant to say "cut", i.e. reduced. I also suppose that the fact that TC sold their 757s in itself does not contain any indication of reduced operations. This sale is probably just a financial move, wherein they lease the planes back from the new Russian formal owners and keep operating them as before. Well, that's just my guess.

right, just was typing as always, faster than a ray of light. Thomas Cook will reduce its operations in Europe this year.
