Well not quite sure if things are on the up or not! I can confirm that Aero Lloyd will be operating a SZG charter and Azzurra a TFS sortie. BE have charters to VRN, VCE and JER and the usual mix of Spanair, Futura, Islandflug, Pegasus, Onur and Cronus are present. Air Scandic have added a few extra flights as have Excel. Britannia have 2 757 based and JMC one. My Travel Airlines are upping the programme with two airbuses and thats about it for the charter front. God only knows where the air 2 bob passengers have gone. And the last I heard was that JMC are contemplating closing the NCL crew base in March?!!!!!!!?

On the sched side nowt much changes. Still 2 airlines operating NCL/BRU and neither with high loads. Two airlines on the NCL/SVG route - can`t see that lasting for long. BE will be starting JER shortly and heres hoping the do LCY. No changes from BA as yet, although extra capacity on SOU and ABZ routes are needed I hear. As for GO they are doing very very well, with the majority of flights leaving full, but no signs of an expansion in no frills from NCL, considering EMA is the new base. The airport authority are still hoping for airlines to operate their `hoped for` routes but no signs as yet. they are keen to re-establish a link with Copenhagen considering they are now partly owned by them!

Anyone with more info please share all! <img src="cool.gif" border="0">
