Thomsonfly to Scotland?

Does anyone think that we will see Thomsonfly operating into EDI/GLA/ABZ from CVT/BOH/DSA in the near future?

Sorry to change the subject, but does anyone know if ThomsonFly will change their callsign from Britannia? Would be a shame.

CVT lies under the approach path to BHX – although it is outside the BHX TMA.

Growing a market by adding capacity. Think there is demand for a one daily service from Coventry to the places i mention with out having a inpact on BHX. The extra pax could come from Coventry?

Do you realise jsut how close CVT and BHX are? I wouldn’t make sense for Flybe to start some flights from CVT, they’d be much better simply adding frequency from BHX.

Suerly they would also be taking pax off the BA BHX-GLA/EDI flights?

But they operate the same route. Where are the extra pax coming from? :confused:

From BHX though.
From CVT they would start taking passengers off of their own BHX services.

Interesting times, and no mistake.

Still, it gives us something to talk about. :D:D:D

Think they would make CVT work with out an effect on ops at BHX but it would only be a limited number of flights from CVT. Maybe something like GLA/EDI/BHD/(ABZ?) all 1daily with 1 based aircraft at CVT?

But why? It would be like competing with yourself for the same market.

Thought Jet 2 bournemouth to Manchester would be best for onward connection flights

Im sure an airline such as FlyBe could make a huge success of CVT to GLA/EDI/BHD and maybe even ABZ work. Sadly cant see BE operating from CVT.

Only if they transferred all ops from BHX. Which is never going to happen.

I think Jet 2 will do BOH-EDI eventually. Maybe either GLA or PIK one day.

Hopefully if asked TUI would allow a regional airline into CVT to cover EDI/GLA/BHD as Im sure those routes would work with a ATR-42 or similar
