Not quite true. A recent thread about NOW Airlines went to 16 pages and they never got off the ground !!
The issue of Thomsonfly and Coventry seems to have generated more replies and site visits than any other airline or airport topic since PPrune was launched.

Looks like good news.

Coventry Airport Press Statement
Friday 14th May, 2004
The two day hearing at the High Court was completed today before Mrs Justice Gloster with the judge reserving her judgment until further notice.
Coventry Airport continues to be fully operational and Thomsonfly.com continues to operate to 11 European destinations.
The Airport Managing Director, Bill Savage, said: "We are delighted that Warwick District Council have decided to withdraw their application for an interim injunction".
"We are also very pleased that in their submissions to Mrs Justice Gloster, their counsel Mr Harper made it clear that Warwick District Council had no intention to shut or close the Airport."
"The Airport and of course Thomsonfly.com look forward to a busy Summer."

Richardms31, have we finally found out why you are so upset with CVT developing.
You must be worried about all those vacancies being created that you will be made redundant from the Jobcentre.
Don't antagonise possible future employers.

The fourth Thomsonfly B735 G-THOD is delayed so they are looking for a stand in aircraft. Expect a foreign B733 to arrive on 19th May to operate the New Naples and Pisa flights the following day.

Odd, someone who works in the job centre complaining about a company offering jobs.
Anyway, looks like WDC have screwed up big time and everyone's laughing at their backpedal. Here's to more flights & a new terminal building a Coventry!

Hope everyone saw the press statement @ www.thomsonfly.com! Good news for us all CVT!
I'm not too sure why OD is delayed, could either to be with the repainting/interiors or test flights? Think it will probably be a week or so late, but in the meantime yeah we will have another ad hoc aircraft. Possibly a BY B757 or last time we had an Astraeus B738, but new flights will definately start as planned!
Anyway we look forward to welcoming everyone on board soon!

Why do you persist in this futile argument? Do you really think you know more about the catering staffs wages than the one who is paying them? What ever you have seen or what ever you have heard, Skypartners is the only one that knows the truth! Frankly I would rather trust his word than yours!

It seems there was an "incident" at Coventry last Wednesday. What is the difference between an "airprox" and a "near miss"? Sounds like this was a very minor problem, if the plane didn't even have to execute a missed approach, but it is unfortunately playing straight into the hands of CAECA, just a we thought we'd got rid of them.

Funny isn`t it that all those people got together to protest about the proposed Rugby/Coventry airport, and Thomsonfly and all the polution it will cause. Yet just 8 miles down the road they have the biggest cement plant in europe about to start burning alternative fuels. ie old tyres.
Now that IS polution. So all you people when you have finished with Baginton, go and have a go at them.

For an alternative view on the High Court proceedings, read Warwick District Council press statement below.
17th May 2004
Coventry Airport –
Enforcement Action & Injunction Proceedings
Following a two day hearing at the High Court last week, the Council is awaiting the courts decision on the case.
The Judge, Justice Mrs Gloster, listened to the Airport’s submission to have the case struck out (dismissed). The opposing view was strenuously put by the Council.
If the case is found for the Council our intention is to seek an early date for a full hearing of the injunction.
If the case is dismissed, the Council intends to continue with the separate enforcement action against the Airport and will defend any appeal against the action at a public local enquiry.
In either scenario, injunction or enforcement, the Council intends to proceed as quickly as possible in fully resolving matters.
To clarify the Airport’s statement of Friday last, the Council can confirm it has withdrawn the interlocutory (preliminary) hearing but only in order to proceed more rapidly to a full injunction hearing.
Head of Planning & Engineering, Mr John Archer said: “We are now in waiting for the Court’s judgement. We feel we have been given a full and fair hearing, and will await the outcome.”

Nothing new in that.
WDC stated they were withdrawing from the interim hearing _in which they were going to get an injuction to have the terminal closed_ BEFORE the hearing DUE TO STRONG EVIDENCE from the Airport. Methinks they did not prepare their case well enough and had to pull out to get extra time to prepare it (Which is what, effectively, their legal team advised them to do.).
This left the Airport to make an attempt to get the case struck off as there is no case to answer (In their opinion.)
The sad fact is that by skipping this step it does not mean proceedings will go any faster. It'll probably slow them down.
WDC are also qouted as saying, during the hearing, that they really want the enfrocement order to use as a bargainning tool.
So, they had weak evidence for the court case, and are wasting taxpayers (Not mine, thankfully) money on taking the airport to court when they have _stated_ that they have no intention of forcing the airport to close even if they do have an enforcement.
They have also - much to the frustration of CA - refused to enter into any talks.
So then they get whalloped with evidence that's too overwhelming for them. They state this on their website as well.

Twostroke,
mmm.... Flightmapping..... Self appointed accident investigator as well as environmental impact expert....
If you read my post again, you will see that I asked a question about the difference between an "airprox" and a "near miss", and that I also said it "sounds minor", not that it "is minor".
Having spoken with a very senior executive at TUI this evening, I will now change that to "WAS" very minor, as it was not deemed of sufficient importance at the time to alert senior executives. There was no accident, therefore I cannot self-appoint myself in that field.
With regards to environmental impact, yes I do think I am at least as qualified as any of the "experts" CAECA like to claim they have on board. As none of them have come back to me after I have challenged them on each and every one of their arguments, I think I can fairly safely say that there are no environmental issues at Coventry of any major significance.

The agreed definition of an Airprox is a situation in which, in the opinion of a pilot or a controller, the distance between aircraft as well as their relative positions and speed have been such that the safety of the aircraft involved was or may have been compromised
QED, there is no such thing as a 'very minor' airprox.
After investigation it may get rated as category C - ' No risk of collision existed', but thats for the UKAB / SRG to determine and NOT a 'very senior executive at TUI'
