Britannia Summer 06
Now had time to do a fuller analysis of the 2nd edition Thomson brochure.
There is an increase of 14 Britannia flights per week over 2005. Assuming 200 occupied seats per flight over a 25 week season, that equates to an additional 140,000 passengers next summer.
Changes as follows:
Bourgas - 1 per week, new destination
Corfu - 2nd weekly flight added
Alicante - up from 2 to 5 per week
Malaga - as ALC
Ibiza - Fourth weekly flight added
Kos - dropped (1 pw in 2005)
Palma - Up from 4 to 8
Mahon - as CFU
Rhodes - down from 2 to 1 per week
Tunisia (MIR) - as Bourgas
Dalaman - Up from 1 to 2.
It looks like an attempt to add capacity to the popular loco destinations, and grab a slice of their action. Particularly PMI, ALC, AGP & IBZ.
Isn't it about time one of the locos added LTN-IBZ daily, at least in summer?
