Half a million passengers so far this year is no mean feat!
I just hope Peel are making a little money from them?
TUI must have been given a very good deal financially to commence operations, one must assume that this initial courtship must end at some stage (24 months is usual)?
Most of the 500,000 flew TUI, but how many of them would otherwise have flown from Leeds, Humberside or NEMA and have TUI's yields been hit at these other bases?
Have TUI carved out a new untapped market? I really hope that they have, but not at the expense of other airports. Mind you, Humberside and East Midlands are owned by Manch, Leeds is a bastion of Local Govt operation. Peel is Liverpool.
