Now what clanger would this be?
Like you said Thomson has a perfectly good charter business running out of DSA, totally agree. However, the clanger I am referring to is thinking they can dictate to the customer which airport to fly from, just because it suited Thomsons better.
They pulled out of Leeds thinking they could march people in the West Yorks area down to DSA. Now I don't think this has happened as much as they would have liked and basically Jet2 have cleaned up on a lot of what Thomson could have had, if it had been more customer focused.
I honestly think Thomson could have had a far more sucessful operation from LBA than it currently has at DSA.
