According to BAA figures today, traffic at their UK airports is up 4%year on year for last month. However, charter traffic was down 7%.
This probably reflects the trend towards do-it-yourself trips on budget airlines, instead of taking package holidays.
So, MYT's core package holiday business has to contend with a falling market, let alone generate enough cash flow to ensure the company's survival.
By contrast, First Choice are meeting this year's profit targets and trading very nicely because they moved up-market and have a broad range of profitable niche travel businesses.
My guess is that if MYT survive at all (and I wouldn't bet on it) it will be a much smaller business. Why did they change their name from Airtours? My Travel must be one of the daftest airline names ever invented.
