Andy - Could you be so kind as to get a link to the article in question.
I pasted it onto the airhumberside website mate, look on the other topics section for Humberside and then news and articles, you will find it on there.
Alternatively go to thisisgrimsby and search Humberside Airport it is the article dated 21.06.05.
Sorry not very clued up on computers so dont know how to add links
Hope this helps.
Are the Excel Airways routes available to be booked as seat-only on xl.com? I couldn't find any seats on their website. I think in the case of HUY, frequent charter flights to sun spots
(esp. ALC/AGP/PMI) with the option to buy cheap seat-only fares would be just as good as having a based low-cost airline. Increasing AGP & ALC to maybe three times a week, and the property-owners abroad would definately use Excel.
That would be great and i have brought this up before. I cant understand why these operators dont market some of their seats as flight only, that way an increase in flights would give all concerned (IT and seat only) more choice. They wouldnt need a loco then as this would be just as good.
