MME4eva
Tenerife South with GSM is now going to be year-round, and New York is a VERY good gamble providing it is operated with a Boeing 757. As for WW, it now seems the reason for their pull-out was due to a dispute with the airport over landing fees, and the main reason their flights are now regularly cancelled or heavily delayed is because of aircraft going tech - although not usually MME based aircraft - if an aircraft goes tech from one of their other bases, they simply 'steal' one from MME to avoid disrupting flights at a non-closing base. The airport has definitely matured since bmibaby's announcement, I should probably take a leaf out of their book!
Good to see the bmi LHR going 4x daily for the winter, but it's already confirmed it's back to 3x daily next summer. It would seem that the 4th rotation is simply a slot protector for the now discontinued London Heathrow - Mumbai route, so at the end of the day, bmi are just using us, which annoys me a bit.
Anyway, we should all take our hats off to MME, well done to them for this past few weeks of success! It just goes to show, good always comes out of bad.
