The last LTN-IOM has operated.

A-jet's demise has meant the cessation of Larnaca and Paphos . But Monarch will pick up Larnaca in summer

FlyBe's Jersey won't restart in May .

Aer Arran's based unit has gone, together with Lorient and Newquay .

Next week Wizz start Bucharest .

The week after Silverjet start the first ever scheduled trans-Atlantic flights to EWR .

The summer will see TOM doing Dubrovnik, Prague and Jersey as well as the old favourites.

EasyJet will be adding Ibiza and probably Brussels.

Monarch will be starting Ibiza and Almeria as well as Larnaca, and increasing Palma rotations from one to nine a week.

Does this amount to good news or bad? It's certainly sad to see Isle of Man end after so long, but really good to see Silverjet - hope they enjoy massive success and follow EWR with Dubai, and other long-haul destinations. In terms of passenger numbers - will the ten million be reached in 2007?

What new destinations will Wizz add - rumour has it that there are a couple more planned?

By this time it's getting late for announcements of new services for summer - unless XL re-start the A-jet services?
