Further to your comment about TUI-Fly pulling out of the UK market completely, are you aware of any official announcement concerning the fate of the MAN-STR scheduled service? I
Well, winter flights have long been released but no MAN-STR lfights are bookable beyond Oct.30. So not a lot of doubt about the fate of that route - of course TUIfly is not making a lot of fanfare about routes that are axed.
So not a new service as such then...as ever one step forward, one step back.
It is not a new destination or a new route, but a new service anyway as it is flown by an airline that so far has no flights into MAN. Maybe that's why some eagle-eyed ppruners immediately thought that I was indeed talking about CGN.
