Really disappointing to see a number of Greek routes dropped, looks like KVA has been as well. I think this may be down to a lack of available a/c though, load factors on the SKG route especially are generally good if i'm correct.
The fact that ATH is in the bookings is interesting. I know a lot of tour operators are planning their S07 routes. I think SKG, KVA, PVK and VOL will be back in 07. Possibly JSI via KVA and ATH via VOL?

I think there is still room for more routes: Ryanair could do a midday DUB, as well as BGY, CCF, CRL, GRO, HHN, LDY, LTN, NOC, NYO, SNN, TRF, possibly a couple of others (Esbjerg/Haugesund/Riga or eastern European cities).

Easyjet could do ATH, HAM, MAD, VLC, and maybe a few of the new BRS destinations.

How about charters to AGA, AHO, BIA, CTA, CUN, DBV, HRG, JMK, LEI, PUY, SMI, SUF, TCP? I don't think MYT marketed DJE well enough, it could easily have worked!

Obviously DXB and NYC could be served.
