Just a Thursday thought, are there any airlines with head offices at airports they don't serve? I can't think of any in the UK but might be mistaken!

BA Cityflier at Manchester !

ScotAirways at Cambridge

Not sure about Jet2, is it at Bournemouth?

Jet2 was in BOH until a couple of years back. The HQ is now at LBA.

BA Cityflyers headquarters aren't even at an airport!

TUI and Monarch are both close to quiting LTN.

Most airline HQs have historical links even if they don't have bases there any more.

BA Citiflyer were BA Regional, which was born, if not concieved as a Manchester base, even if Mummy and Daddy were from London.

Jet2 are close cousins of Channel Express and lived in adjoining Council Houses as youngsters in Bournmouth before Uncle Philip spread his favours:E.

Suckling Airways were concieved and born in Cambridge, grew up went to Junior School and the first two years of High Schol there, when along came Scot Airways with the usual Scottish foreplay and adopted them as Mc Cousins.

TUI, as far as I know, have always operated from office buildings, their Ops for the entire fleet, as far as I know, are based in a huge underground bunker in Hamburg.

Monarch are one of the few airlnes that have always been faithful to the cause and always have been based at Luton Airport.

So Thomson Airways no longer are based at Luton Airport?

Course they are ZeBedie...bit less of the sauce, mate :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Haven't US Airways got their European centre in Liverpool?

ZeBedie??? What... !!!???

TUI and Monarch are both close to quiting LTN.


Are you talking operationally, or with regard to their headquaters?
