Out of interest, this year, charter flights from LTN, will account for just 5% of all pax.
Very interesting...
Is this due to the number of charter flights being reduced this summer or is it because there are more scheduled services and ratio works out to reduce it to 5%?
ThomsonFly operates a number of services which are marketed as scheduled services and are actually people flying on packages, to a lessor extent XL Airways are doing the same on their LCA, PFO and SSH services this summer. Anyone know how these services are accounted for?
Would be great to see a Thomas Cook Airways basing a A320/757 at the airport. Unless you want to book a holiday with the Thomson Travel Group, your option of charter flights for package holidays is getting very limited from Luton. I would have thought one of the big companies would have noticed a whole in this market, as people from the North London and Home Counties have to travel LGW, BHX or EMA for a decent range of package destinations... There is a large portion of the market that still wants to travel on a package, and have the arragnements made for them in one simple booking...
I think STN is even more poorly served for charter flights!
