100 day review
TOM have cut the flying programme at Coventry to just a few per day. They will be doing only about 34 takeoffs per week in the summer. It is clear that they have a big duplication with BHX. One flight is even co-timed with the same destination as BHX.
Looking at the TOM website it is clear that the shortest routes operate from Coventry and longer - short hauls go from BHX. This is unlikely to last. TUI are doing a big review of what they do. It is due to report on the 29th Jan 2008. The Coventry op is clearly not viable at its current pax level. Instead of going to 2 million per year it is dropping.
I am sure that BHX would love to take the extra TOM plane. The question is will it happen in the spring or after 2nd November when current booking period is over.
