Indeed -
We can also hope that the BACF summer program
does not get too decimated either - TUI chartered BACF for a SAT Palma series last summer and also took seats on the 'scheds' too.
They I gather, have planned for Volotea to come back and op for them next summer but that could all change as we have seen the past few years.
TUI have canned both IBZ and MAH in the past that sold well - not sure what they have for 2023 and 2024 planned in full.
They are selling JER holidays flying from SOU ! (That's an old destination to now come back being sold as a package deal)
What with the 'economic' situation we are now all facing one does wonder if Summer Holidays Abroad will still be at the forefront with most customers -
Methinks they will.
As for EZY - for some years now their only sustained route and any 'expansion' here in our area (both SOU and BOH) is increasing their winter GVA Ski flights
(People who Ski
have money - ask ALL of my NHS Consultants LOL)
The Easyjet BOH Domestic flights only lasted 5 minutes - one short summer season, never to return
As for EZY coming to SOU in the next year or so ? - No is IMHO.
