There are a few of these. – If you go onto the Eastern Airways site and select LBA as a departue point you get Stornoway as a destination – but they dont fly there from LBA – its a connecting flight and you cant even book a flight from LBA to Stornoway!

If you try to book flight only with MyTravel next May from LBA to AGP is says the flight is operated by British Midland. Yesterday it still said Astraeus. Havn’t checked the schedule fully. Question is what will happen to the flights which Astraeus had which were not for MyTravel but for Thomas Cook, Atlantic holidays etc.

Thomsonfly are facing the same problem as all the other package tour operators. The bog-standard package holiday market is shrinking. People are either booking themselves on the internet, and searching for their flights, or are looking for something more from their holiday than they currently get and are venturing further afield.
The effect will vary from airport to airport. You need package tour holiday makers to fill most of the plane, if they are not there you pull the flight. It is nonsense to suggest that because one airport is losing out so should another in an adjacent geographical area. Depends on the availability of other flights, holidays etc.
There are going to be casualties. Lets hope they are few in size and number.

The advert obviously achieved its object – You watched it and took in what it said. Now all you have to do is buy a ticket!!

Jet2 appear to be having tech problems today with a 737.
The flight from Newcastle to Pisa arrived 3 hours late and departure to the UK is now showing as 10am tomorrow morning instead of earlier this afternoon!!

Would appear from the flyme parent company’s website that the take over of AEU has crumbled. AEU are to lease two aircraft to flyme and that now appears to be it!!
Where that leaves AEU I am not sure, presumably looking for another suitor?

Would appear that, for the winter, the TFS based 757 aircraft is to leave TFS at 8am returning at 6pm and serving Blackpool on Monday & Friday, Newcastle on Tuesday & Saturday and Belfast on Thursday & Sunday. MAN & LBA flights to TFS are UK based.
