Lydd has been trying tobecome a London airport for ages. And in all that time there has been Le Tourquet flights and nothing else. I wish the airport well but I think any future expansion will be limited (maybe the Channel Islands or an extra destination in Northern France with Lydd Air)
Wonder how many routes they announce will happen. I know last year they announced loads for this summer that will not now happen, like LBA-Varna and LBA-Bodrum
I think tommyinyork may have been refering to what happens if a plane is fully converted to freighter configuration, like the B747F or B757F
Is the ‘level crossing’ on the Eastern Perimeter Road just north of Hatton Cross that the 285 bus uses?
Dont also forget TOM are starting LTN/MAN-Marrakesh next winter
I think Excel are starting MAN-CPT at some point for Travel City Direct
I’m sure I read in the LBA summer schedules, last week when I was in Leeds, that Thomsonfly are having a B752 there all summer, with no mention of a B762 being there this year at all.
Correct. No B767’s at HUY on a Sunday afternoon (‘W’ pattern: LBA-PMI-HUY-PMI-LBA) 🙁
Corfu is on sale from HUY with Kosmar on Fridays
Theu used to fly the route but the competition from Air Berlin was too much
First Choice have already released Summer 2007. Main highlight is long haul from Bristol (Sanford, Varadero (Cuba) and Dominican Republic (Puerta Plata I think))
As for HUY, it is expected that XLA will base an aircraft all week and Thomson will add a few extra flights
Problem at EDI is FlyGlobespan. They have showed they will compete with Jet 2 by inceasing Murcia to daily this summer. The most obvious new EDI route, in my opinion, for Jet 2 is TFS. However I would expect GSM to start EDI-TFS if Jet 2 did. Jet 2 will have to be very careful in its expansion with GSM if it wants to avoid a price war. Hopefully GSM and Jet 2 can successfully co-exist at EDI though
I assume this is partly down to MH pulling out. Maybe also trying to stop Thai starting MAN services in the future?
// MNG Pax <– op by ??
MNB921 LTFE-EGPF 1600/1825 –3—- xxxx
MNB922 EGPF-LTFE 1925/0135 –3—- xxxx
MNG have stopped passenger flights I think
Are Eastern sending a plane to CWL to promote their new services?
Flights will use an LTE A320
