Last winter when I originally said that the Thomsonfly base would be pulled in favor of "Thomson towers" as quoted down the road at Doncaster. I was told that Jet2 were out doing Thomsons "left right and centre, we simply cannot compete at LBA". I was told the DSA base isn't doing very well, but all stops would be pulled to ensure that the DSA base would stay open. This included pulling the Leeds base. The person went on to say that it didn't stop there, the Humberside routes are next for the chop. All routes would be concentrated on DSA for the Yorkshire region.
I believe the idea behind this is Thomsons think that the people of Yorkshire who want a package holiday will fly just from Doncaster?? However much I don't like the way that Thomsons have operated, that is what was said. I hope the person I spoke to is wrong.
