Roverman,
I think you have mis understood my comment.
It was not a moan that the route wasn't to the standard we have come to expect from Thomas Cook, more that I'm worried this is a strategy to make life hard for Thomson.
For W17, Thomas Cook have announced a bi-weekly Mauritius from Manchester. This has caused Thomson to drop their MAN-MRU route. Therefore, with SNU also being a new route for Thomson, I hope this latest TCX route doesn't drive TOM off the route, otherwise, it's not genuine growth.
Business is business, I'm not naive to misunderstand that, but, with such good headway made on things like USA routes, I'm just worried this becomes a distraction that isn't totally good news for Manchester?
