Great news for DTVA! Exactly what we were hoping for! I'm sure flyglobespan will be more successful than baby ever were, and I imagine the extra routes to be announced are going to be longer ones like PRG, BCN and I also presume TFS will be in there somewhere.

As to the routes already announced, well 13 flights per week, 2 based aircraft can do 6 flights a day (3 each) thats 42 flights per week so you can see how much spare capacity is left. Of course having TFS in there might reduce this to around 39 a week (takes up 4 normal length rotations out of 6 in a day for an aircraft I believe).

This is good news, and I'm sure they will be very welcome here at DTVA, and I hope the public support them like they did with bmibaby.
