Doesn't match up with the rumours we've been hearing here down the road at DTVA tho
What have you been hearing down there then?

On many of the routes operated by EZY from NCL, they are the only low cost choice for passengers, and for a region the size of our catchment area I do not see any reason why they wouldn't be doing well. 149 capacity is ideal for these routes, and even though they may have dropped KRK and PRG - I suspect another loco operator will pick them up soon, both were frequently well utilised.

Distinct chance of a 3rd based TCX a/c for next summer
Possible, however the tour operators programme for next summer is well on sale, so at this point it would be a major change for tour operators to sell the capacity of an extra aircraft, which would operate roughly 13 or so flights per week. A 3rd aircraft would be good news for Servisair though and indeed for the airport.
