Ref the Helsinki this was just a one off charter
Shame there will not be a off-one again this year. It’s nice to be reminded of the times when there were charters from Scandinavia.
Whatever happened to the aircraft and crew base that VLM had in Jersey
The base in Jersey was closed because it was not profitable. The figure quoted was something like a £1m loss. VLM’s loads were apparently good but competition from British Airways and Flybe meant that yields were poor. The route continues to operate at 1x daily but with even stronger competition between London and Jersey today, whether the route lasts is uncertain.
