With regards to TUI's LBA base closure I find some of the decisions made by the company this year insane.
I appreciate that the charter market is not what it used to be, but what does anyone make of this:
TUI are to close their base at LBA from May. All op's will from then involve W patterns.
They had LPA flights planned for the last 2 winters but have cancelled them at the last minute, booting pax that had booked to DSA, where they have 2 LPA flights per week. No other flight operates from LBA to LPA in winter.
However, both times they have kept the ACE flight over the winter, despite the fact that LBA already has 3 other flights in winter to ACE, making a total of 4 per week. This seems madness to me, are they trying to commit hari-kari, or just looking for any excuse to close leeds base ???
BTW they have NO flights to ACE form DSA over the winter
