Air Canada's Dreamliner departed in the early hours to Toronto (14 hours behind schedule).  The Fedex MD-11 positioned in to operate the afternoon service to Paris in lieu of A300F N743FD which has gone tech.  The same MD-11 had previously visited in November 2013.  Jet2's 737 performed an air test this morning following it's C check with Dublin Aerospace and later departed to Leeds.  The British Airways A320 arrived from Rovaniemi this evening using the seasonal callsign "Santa 33". It later departed back home to London Gatwick.
