DTV KLM Competition
I assumed that the announcement was going to be about Thomson - DTV is missing from their online booking for 2014. Mention of KLM cutting back led me to look at Easyjet prices for their new Newcastle to Amsterdam service - picking a random date: Wednesday March 6th 2013 Easyjet were offering a flight for £27-49 at 17-00. On the KLM website for DTV to Amsterdam on the same day at 17-10 £433 was the asking price! Presumably competition on the Newcastle - Amsterdam route will affect KLM at Newcastle, but the northern part of DTV's catchment area will surely take a hit was well!
