I agree entirely, Vapor. I spoke to another charter airline the other week who said, "we can fill ten aircraft in summer but only four in winter, so it makes our fleet planning difficult!" Charter carriers and other airlines dealing with highly seasonal markets will usually aim to schedule their leases to begin if possible before the peak season (ie spring) and end after it (ie autumn), for obvious reasons. So Blue Panorama letting two aircraft go at this time of year is not in and of itself any sign of problems.
