Jamie2k9 "I can't see Knock being able to sustain 6 sun routes."
I see where you are coming from but then why have they just made NOC - REU/ALC bookable with increased frequency 4x weekly? Those routes also competed with the NOC charters to ACE/FAO last year and had high load-factor all the same, so they seem to be building on that growth and have a good tourism deal from the Canaries authority as well. Also have to factor in reduced capacity at DUB/SNN.
If anything will suffer it's the charters who are down to 733 on FAO/ACE from A321 on some routes in the past. Back in 2006/7 the airport had lots more sun destinations BOJ, HER, PMI, CDZ, AGP.
