From the website: “Nexus Airways serve the Canary Islands of Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote

Our flights will operate at peak-periods, such as Christmas & New Year!

Nexus Airways originally planned to operate daily services out of Liverpool John Lennon Airport to the Islands, however we have had severe problems as our licensing partner ceased trading, which despite our best efforts, unfortunately we have been able to recover from. Therefore we hope to just take an allocation of seats on existing flights during the peak periods, until a time when we can establish new partners and seat sales justify whole aircraft operations ex Liverpool. You can check our availability and pricing for Christmas & New Year 2005 online, and If you want to book any of the flights listed then contact us! “

Just had a look on that airliners.net thread; as usual there’s some complete rubbish quoted on there. I’m sure the Olympic name would be maintained but just altered slightly; how about “Olympic Greece”. Changing the name to “Athens” would be like Air France becoming “Paris”.
Regards the post from a yank stating that KLM would obtain the 717s to replace the F100s; hardly likely when KLM are in the process of obtaining more F100s and still considering a 50 a/c order with Rekkof.

After the demise of Sabena, DAT became SN Brussels. Why not OA Athens?

Fractional ownership is targeted specifically at businesses for which it would not be viable to buy or lease an aircraft 100% of the time, but need an aircraft at their disposal for certain times. I doubt it would work in the leisure sector, except for very wealthy persons who fly very regularly as the percentage of time that you would actually spend on board the aircraft would be minisclue. PM me if you want more info – I know quite a bit about the economics of how fractional ownership works.

Have only ever flown on TriStars (British Airtours, Caledonian and Air Atlanta Icelandic). I really enjoyed the experience; much better than flying on a 757, 767 or A300. Tri-jets will obviously seem old these days but they are classic airctaft from a golden era in my opinion.

BY also flew the 762 to SE Asia and S Africa for numerous years before the 763s arrived. Once saw a one-way flight advertised on Airtours (MyTravel) ex-LGW to SYD for £99. The thing was, it departed on 24 December.

Easy don’t do BFS-BCN, though Jet2 do, but where is the fun in that? 😀

It’s not as if I’ll enjoy a few days with the family arguing among themselves, so I might as well try to enjoy myself getting to/from there. Perhaps a bit long to do it that way both ways, indeed I may just fly direct to the Uk again.

Need to investigate ferry services between Tenerife and Lanzarote now 😀

Sorry, was getting confused 🙁 Too many LoCos these days.

The alternative could be EZY to PMI then UX, IB or poss Vueling via BCN to ACE.

I’m fairly sure that FlyBe have served Chambery from MAN on a seasonal basis in the past.

flyBe (as Jersey/British European) ran charters from Manchester to Chambery for numerous winters, generally with 146s.

Apologies for never writing a return report. The return flight was good quality on a newer A320 (EI-DEC), though the A320s have boring blue leather seats.

They do look slightly out of proportion, is that what you mean?

The -SPs fuselage is about 45 feet shorter than the -100 but the tail is actually slightly taller (I think) too assist with fuel efficiency and extra range(hence Special Performance), so it appears to look even strager.

Nice report. Work on the taxiways??? I wonder what that was. Departures were using 34 last night so I wonder was there an incident on 28 which has become quite recently as of late espeically with the ageing 200s still flying about.
Did you find the SkyCafe to be very overpriced???

Yes, SkyCafe is a complete rip off! We seemed to land on runway 28. Thanks for all the comments!
