I see that there are to be 2 flights this summer with Newmarket Holidays to Italy - Can someone explain why these flights are ok to go ahead but the Thomson flights were loss making for the airport - would 2 random flights not make more of a loss (for the airport, as they would have to have more staff just for the 2 flights) rather than 2 regular weekly flights?
If it is down to size of aircraft, the Newmarket Holiday flights are normally 737-300 sized aircraft - so if the airport is ok to accept these flights could they not have talked to Thomson to see if they could use these smaller sized aircraft rather than 737-800's?
