2014 sun route numbers
Just looking at last year's figures and it's ironic to see that the Palma route, which was used by 24,864 passengers in 2014 will still see 5 flights per week in 2016 - 4 x Volotea, (2 scheduled + 2 charter) plus 1 x Evelop.
In 2014, Alicante attracted 42,821 and Malaga 42,352.
85,173 passengers x say, £125.00 is £10,646,652 - so I still think that an operator will come forward at some point and 'give it a punt'.
