Flybe announce codeshare from Donegal to Heathrow via DUB, will this have any affect on the LDY - STN numbers?

Loganair/BA Donegal

Sure they could've put the BA code share on the Donegal-Glasgow Route too, which would also affect FR PIK numbers

I see Alicante has been added again from July. Is there hope for Tenerife yet..

Too bad about the FR/SU Prestwick flights - with a little more effort, FR could have timed the flights differently to make sure that the departure to PIK is at a different time each day of the week

[CARNMANORLAD]

STN & PIK both diverted to Belfast Int this morning due to heavy fog at Derry. It seems both a/c repositioned back to Derry to take the PAX.

STN

Second flight STN - LDY on Mondays and Fridays seems to have vanished as of 1st July. Is this the beginning of the FR revenge on STN?

If I remember right then the same happened last Summer? I believe the Monday AM STN was removed from sale but was later added again. Possibly someone with a better memory could back this?

It has been confirmed on the Airport's social media site that Tenerife will not operate for 2013

I was sitting in Tenerife South yesterday delayed for two hours awaiting the Thomson Aldergrove flight and I thought my eyes were deceiving me when I saw that Thomson also operate to Durham Tees Valley.

Durham Tees Valley had 165K pax last year. Surely LDY could support a Thomson flight to TFS.

I suppose however the same two usual problems present: proximity to an existing flight in BFS and the presence of Ryanair at the airport with the possibility that they would recommence operating LDY to TFS.

Did I miss something..have TOM started flying from BFS to TFS

[onyxcrowle]

Probably a crew flight. I

I don't know much about BFS schedules so I can't say when they started to fly but I can state with certainty that they flew into BFS yesterday having previously flown out the previous week.

[BELHold]

Could have swore BFS only had an LS and TCX op to TFS yesterday...must be getting old

[Amelia Earhart]

Not old, just a facetious plane spotting nerd.

I was on a Thomson jet with Thomson livery with a Thomson ticket for a Thomson package holiday bought from a Thomson website and the delay was announced as "Thomson airlines apologises ..."

So what part of having a TCX flight code would mean that it was actually a Thomas Cook flight and not a Thomson flight?

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck ...

And if it spots planes like plane spotter and posts on websites like a plane spotter ....

Perhaps you should join a plane spotting website but you should definitely get out more.

[BELHold]

Gosh Amelia, thats really shook me up

Time to hang the old Binos up I think.

Take care.

[CARNMANORLAD]

According to the Arrivals page Flybe will be back at LDY tomorrow with a flight from LGW.

"According to the Arrivals page Flybe will be back at LDY tomorrow with a flight from LGW."

Noticed that as well Carnmanorlad.

Nothing bookable on Flybe site though.

I'm wondering if it is a charter for Primal Scream who are playing in Derry on Tuesday night?

Last top 10 single hit 2006, album 2008. Perhaps this music industry isn't as bad as it's painted.

[CARNMANORLAD]

Primal Scream and the London Symphony Orchestra are the only major events taking place in the coming days. Wonder will it be a dash or E series?
