...and a quick recap of the most recent developments:
- VLM to start its 9th destination from LCY, a five times weekly serviceto IOM. As it is at the expense of the SOU-BRU route that will be handed over to Eastern, it leaves VLM Airlines with only one route not originating at LCY (RTM-HAM). What is a bit surprising is that VLM Airlines will have two routes (JER and IOM) on which the aircraft will sit idle at the outbound destination for many hours of the day.
- VLM to add a 6th daily flight on the BRU route.
- Darwin's Berne route will go up to twice daily with effect winter schedule. My understanding is that the service will be operated on behalf of Darwin Airlines by Skywork with a Dornier 328-110 instead of the Saab 2000 currently used by Darwin. Lugano will be served inbound in the mornings and outbound on the evenings.
