seems a bit different that TCX just chartering aircraft, in 2008 when i went skiing we flew on a BMI A320 for the TCX flight

I don’t see where the story is in this.
Look in any tour operator’s brochure and you will see flights on many airlines, not just their in-house ones, and often including scheduled flights. The only interesting point in this is that I believe this to be the first time EZY have sold wholesale to a tour operator.

Wow, this is interesting!
We see mergers and tie-ups with the full service carriers but not so much with those airlines at the lower end of the price scale.
It makes sense for TCX, they can offer more destinations and more options for customers and increase their market share in the holiday market – while EZY will see an increase in their own (already impressive) load-factors.
Although I do wonder if this means TCX will start retiring some of their own fleet.
