Yes it was around 20 years ago! If not more!! But the MME based operation only lasted a few years. shows how long it is since a commercial operator was actually interested in MME.
while Thomson had a based aircraft at MME the NCL base became something like 1.5 aircraft per week the lowest it has been in a summer (except now of course) . While the Airtours Canadian one had been A different leased one at NCL (Excalibur I think)
anyway the jist is can’t see it ending well and given the state of the aviation industry I think that the mayors money could be better spent! ☹️ sorry!
