What winter TFS routes, the only flights that the A300 is operating at the moment apart from winter ski flights, is BJL and GOI.
You keep forgetting MON is reducing its charter flying to around 20% of its total flying.
Yes the wide body aircraft are great for some of summer and winter destinations, but what do you use them on at other times.
It costs around £2000 a day to park a A300 at LGW, which will soon add up in the winter months.
Maybe in the future during the summer MON might start to offer two flights a day to some destinations, replacing the wide bodies.
They are already operating two A320s a day to BCN on a number of days of the week out of LGW.
By the way l think you will find the A300 operating for a few more years yet, as they are currently looking to reduce the seating to 328 from 347 or 354 for next summer.
