Befree, time will tell...but given that on the Thomson website there are holidays being sold from CVT to ALC, AGP and on the crystal ski website there are ski holidays to GNB airport from CVT, I am guessing that there will be some winter activity

Alycidon, the appeal in to the decision to reject the terminal starts on July 21st. Several interesting consultative committee meetings take place (one is tonight), at the last one on January 31st, there was significant discussion around improving the terminal, and the point has been raised about applying for a permanent 0.98 million passenger terminal: the route I would like to see the airport take.

Alvechurch, 4 "new" routes, all weekly: MIR, ZTH, CFU all new, MAH returns (previously operated in Summer 2005). Possibly correct about the number of passengers not significantly increasing, although would an airline rather have daily PMI/AGP/ALC flights at around 80% full with diluted yield, or several new routes, offering essentially the same capacity, but reducing frequency on some routes to accomodate the new destinations, thereby increasing yield and load factor. Essentially, whereas capacity remains pretty much the same for next Summer at CVT (although 33 flights per week with 2 aircraft may mean fewer W patterns in to other airports), load factor and total number of passengers travelling might just increase.

Aidoair, cannot see the weekly Pisa in the timetable. It operates Summer 2008, but not in (yet?) for Summer 2009.
