Ow dear

Peltours drop Egypt from Leeds before it even starts!

Leeds’ first Egyptian service flying to Taba has been cancelled due to lack of demand.

I just hope that new gambia service does not do the same

I think the political situation in the Middle East and the current aviation security alerts havent helped the cause. Having spoken to a travel agent freind of mine recently, it appears that they have had 9% more cancellations of IT/Package tour holidays than at this time last year and 13.7% on the previous 2004 year.

Has the Doncaster to Sharme el Sheikhe service which was supposed to have statred a couple weeks after the leeds to Taba also been cancelled as i havn’t seen that advertised or listed anywhere? There ust not be enough demand for extra flights Egypt around here.

Well they didnt seem to advertise that well. Not many peopleknew. Jet2 advertise everywhere while these taba flights nobody has even heard of apart from the lba spotters

Yep, is not good news at all. Never mind, at least they gave it a shot. Taba always did seem a bit of a strange one, I would hope the fact that Banjul is better known and the flight does LBA-BOH-BJL will make this a success.
