Any Chance of TCX Returning to Luton?
Just wondering what the views are of Thomas Cook ever returning to Luton?
They haven't flown from the airport for a few years now, and would have thought their would atleast be a market a single A320/321 based at the airport?
Thomson are really the only charter carrier left at the airport basing 3-4 aircraft here in the summer months. While I appreciate Thomson's HQ is at Luton, they are only going to be basing that number of aircraft if there is the market. After Gatwick, Manchester and Birmingham, I think it is there largest base, with a similar number at East Mids...
Going back 5-7 years ago before the Airtours and Thomson merger, we had two Airtours aircraft based at the airport (an A320 year round and DC-10 in the peak months) and both First Choice and Thomas Cook based an A320 at the airport. Also at this time Monarch had quite healthy charter programme from the airport and was beginning its transition to more scheduled services.
