Canaries/new aircraft

OliWW

I think the Canaries would be from Cardiff and with the aircraft due to replace
KD if that happens. Well KD has not flown since 1/1/11 so assume there will be a replacement.

I can't imagine they would consider Canaries from BHX or MAN with the amount of competition and East Mids is not much better with FR covering this area.

Although Munich and Cologne are still in the early stages of development they did not start well and it seems a reasonable decision when they have little trouble selling the Med routes in summer.

Anyway there is nothing to say that Munich won't come back next winter but I am in the "no way Cologne" camp from the Midlands. It has just proved totally impossible from BHX and there was little to see much in the early EMA figures to change my mind.

I am still ****** that they withdrew from BHX-FCO, BCN, MAD & LIS with load factors between 65 and 90% year round but if they were making money they wouldn't have been dropped.
