Very sad news about Palmair and Bournemouth airport , a long history and for many years they kept the airport alive even with there 2 or 3 flights a week using many varied and interesting aircraft and routes before they bought there own into use 17 years ago
Its going to leave a big whole at the airport to fill , they had about 22 ,000 capacity each summer to various destinations none of which can be filled now as really to late probably to put anything in place . Was really thinking they might have put in place a small operation to Palma , Mahon , Faro and Tenerife using overseas airlines but not to be
Looks like Thomson are staying with there programme for the summer with no IT flights now to Heraklion , Larnaca , Faro , Mahon , Funchal , Brescia , Arrecife and also no Las Palmas flights for next winter 2012 its a big worry
Already Thomson have up graded there Southampton Palma service from FlyBe to Spanair and Thomas Cook holidays to Mahon added
Not looking a promising summer
