It's not been this quiet at New Year previously: tomorrow sees 2 flights from MAN (FCO & HRG) & then on New Years Day there is 1 flight to Malaga from Leeds.
The rest of the network appears to have the next couple of days off!
Ultimately, if they haven't made any money flying over New Year in previous years then it is probably the financially right thing to do. From a
PR perspective however it might not be considered "A Great Deal Friendlier"!!!
I'm sure the staff will enjoy the break!
