Iβm trying to find flights for summer 2008, Manston to Alicante but I canβt find any anywhere. Does anyone know who operates this route, how frequent and where I can book online?
Thanks in advance

Yeah there is no ALC flights this year due to load, but most people out there have hoilday home’s and want a LCC flights from MSE-ALC as if some remember was a top EUjet Route.
That seems strange James, why was the route dropped due to the loads, if it was so succcessful with EUJet…?
Surely you expect demand to still be as strong, and for the flights to be busier than ever, especially if there is not as many flights to ALC on offer as there was with EUJet…
I think your right though James about an airline serving ALC from MSE, it would be a key route but I suspect that it will have to come from a new entrant airline because no established airline has started any scheduled services to/from MSE since EUJet failed, and even then I think the locals would question using a new entrant airline from MSE, especially any of those people that were affected by the failure of EUJet…
I know there is talk about FR possibly basing two 737-800’s there, but it is just rumours, and is not helped by airport management failure to release info updates on a more regular basis to keep residents and enthusiasts interested.

Looks like you have to use the Orange Bus π Lets hope a LCC will start MSE-ALC

I think Futura were the only charter operator to use Manston, but whether they will be there this year, maybe our resident poster will be able to tell us?:D

Why don’t you try contacting Kent International (I think that’s the correct name) direct and asking about charter series and tour operators.
