Coventry Operators

I think the problem with Venture was the fact that Coventry has always been in the shadow of Birmingham with passenger flights and it used to take a long time to re-educate the travelling public. Perhaps things will change with Thomsonfly. Unfortunately there is a great deal of mis-informed comment going around amongst the general public. The Secretary of the anti-airport lobby went into print a couple of weeks ago saying that Coventry was only fit for flying club aircraft. I wrote a reply pointing out that BA uses it as an alternate to BHX.
