London Gatwick – Lisbon
Very interesting indeed. I do wonder though if this will have any affect on Monarch’s Scheduled (ZB) services to Lisbon from LGW…only time will tell I suppose.
Funchal is an ideal choice for EZY because it is very popular island, and is only served by two main carriers, I think just BA and TAP Air Portugal serve it from London, and then it is also a popular destination for charter airlines and their associated tour operators.

Its nice to see there still joining dots from LGW.
Sorry adam. I dont know. But as(i believe) FNC has a hill on the approach somwere. So they come in at an angle then get rwy heading around 1 mile 2miles out. Im proberly wrong but hey. But if it is so. Then im guessing they will be sending a couple of crew out there to familiarize

Great News for U2!
I’m just about to booked myself on a rtn flight from BRS – FNC
One quick question though for anyone that knows the answer – When U2 start a new route to a destination (we’ll use FNC for this example) do they have to send out any pilots or aircraft to see the airport and or practice approaches. With every airport being different with different approaches, noise abatements procedures etc would a pilot need to become familiar with it?
Or is it just a case that the pilot files down there on the first revenue flight and just uses the chart?
