I'm not convinced of the longevity of this.

At one time not so long ago they flew into STN up to 5/6 weekly and used an A330 on weekends in the summer. On top of that were at least 2 daily to LHR again with 330s used, plus various weekly flights to LGW/STN/LTN mainly with their subsidiary Eurocypria but also with 'mainline'. They quit STN after around 15 years of service, the charters had dwindled and eventually Eurocypria went, they sold LHR slots, half-heartedly returned to STN for a year or so, now are leaving LHR altogether.

It's an airline in deep trouble, the market has been taken by locos. They will either go bust or further retreat and downsize the fleet
