I can't really see the GB Airways service returning, and was a bit sceptical of the route in the first place. Tenerife is already well served by all of the charter airlines at East Midlands, and now that TFS will be served a few times a week from Thomsonfly branded as a scheduled service - plus Monarch Scheduled flying from BHX - I wondered how BA expected to fit, especially with a BA Connect branded service which was decisively low-cost. I know there is a market for Tenerife, but expect if there is a scheduled service it will be operated by Thomsonfly this winter. No chance of WW on the route, besides the fact I'm not sure if the 733 can make it, it's too long a sector length for us.

Sadly no chance of our much promised sixth aircraft, but I'm sure the existing five could be used more efficiently to squeeze more routes or frequencies out of them.
