do they carry out charter work regularly for the big operators? or is this just a one off?
The LS Reus flight is season long for the Thomas Cook group. Jet2 also operate the season long Ibiza flight for Thomson/TUI group - Sat 22.30 rtn Sun 05.10, rather than the previously scheduled Air Europa Saturday morning flight. This is in addition to the scheduled Jet2 flights to Ibiza on Thursdays and Sundays.

Thomson also changed their Spanair Saturday morning Palma flight, to be combined with the already scheduled Thomson Airways flight, previously ment to be solely Falcon Holidays passengers. The Thomson chartered Spanair Reus flight on a Saturday, operated by the same aircraft as the Palma, is now operated by a FlyBE Embraer from Belfast City. Presumably as a result of lower demand.

I wonder will this encourage Thomson Holidays to work more closely with FlyBE at BHD, for lower demand destinations, possibly at the weekends when aircraft availability is increased? Already use them for the Thomson/Crystal winter ski flights, and now the summer Reus.
