On May 1st 2002, Airtours International became MyTravel taking over the old Airtours fleet of A320/A321, B757, A330-200 and four DC-10 aircraft. These all came from Premiair (And affiliated Swedish charter carrier) and were three series 10 and a single DC-10-30. The aircraft are used on long-range (Caribbean, for example) routes or destinations where a lot of capacity is needed (Faro, Palma de Mallorca, …). In summer 2002, the series 10 aircraft were based in Manchester while the DC-10-30 was based at London/Gatwick. In 2004, the last DC-10-30 was used as a standby aircraft and was finally phased out in early November 2004.
