Comment / Airbus A319 G-EZFH positioned up from Gatwick on 21st May to become the sixth aircraft for easyJet based at Newcastle this summer.

Comment / Note the white trail streaming from the auxiliary power unit, perhaps indicating that the APU has been left on for the flight ahead.

Comment / Arriving into Newcastle as the EZY8006, which probably indicates she was positioning in on an unscheduled flight - perhaps easyJet are still having to fill gaps in the schedule following this week's snow disruption in the UK?
