That's just plain rubbish - If TUI started those 10 routes they have their immense marketing power, but even TUI would not take such a risk at SOU in one season!

DBV and Tivat are only 2 hours apart by road - very close in the grand scheme - I have been to both before, and post the War (since 1972)
It is simply not sensible to start from a tiny provincial airport 2 quite specialist routes so close to each other - at the same time/same season.

My credentials,
I have worked in the airline sector for over 40 years, much of it in the holiday charter IT flight industry, so since before you were born, so with some respect I do think I know what I am talking about here,
but I do not say that with any arrogance, but merely share my knowledge of such matters that are close to my life experience.


FYI
I think many posters on here would perhaps like to attend one of the SOU Open Days coming up and simply ask the Q's there - I intend to learn of their ambitions with interest.

I say old chap - You mentioned on another thread we chatted on, as being crew on a Caledonian 757 MCO-LGW
If your true age is 35 then that makes you about 8yo when you were flying LOL, are you being honest with me LOL
