TBI have got to get their finger out because at the moment they're operating a c**p outfit and loosing business left. right and centre to their Essex neighbour. They want LTN to be taken seriously as London's 4th airport but seem incapable of biting the bullet and actually doing something about it. C'mon, building the business does mean you actually have to part with some pennies and put your thinking caps on. Not too much evidence of this at the moment.
Regards HLX. Looking at the CAA stats for the first 3 months of this year, GW, which operates exactly the same number of daily flights into STN from CGN as HLX does into LTN, carried more than twice as many pax as HLX, even though HLX fares were often slightly cheaper. Why such a difference?. As you say Buster, Helios & easy have massive comp from STN without probs so why such a difference between GW & HLX pax nos on the CGN route. Must be a German thing.............
