Will be sad to see the FCA brand go and it's A320 and A321s. Will this mean a major cut in services? Shame for MAN and LGW is so as this is a MAJOR part of the airports' businesses.
FCA have by far the superior level of service on their long haul aircraft and I can see the TOM brand being upgraded again if the FCA big bods are to stay in at the airline. Goes abit against the FCA new ideas where specialist holidays are of the main order such as new destinations in Cuba and Costa Rica etc. where other carriers have not yet ventured, whereas TOM are more 'build your own holiday' company who are a major force in the European holiday market (largest in the world in fact!) but they are lacking the 'umph!' on the long haul services that FCA are currently offering.
Hopefully we will see the FCA phylosophy on the long haul routes and the TOM routine on the short haul routes to Canaries, Med. etc.
Who woul ever have thought - Air 2000 and Britannia becoming one under the name of TUIfly!
