Humberside Charters
My Travel and Britannia/Thomson Fly operate 'W' charter flights into HUY all year round and First Choice in the summer. What bases do these aircraft come from and will it be same for Summer 2005?
Thanks

If the aircraft is resort based, it is obviously based where it is coming from ! DOH !
As for 2005, I think you had better reserve yourself a new handle "airdoncaster", because there won't be much happening at Humberside.

I know the Air Europa, Futura's etc are resort based but I am after the British airlines bases
I wont be reserving airdoncaster - Humberside has, in the long term if not the short term a good future ahead of it

I think that for the past couple of years at least (and it may have been longer), many of the BY services from HUY have been operated by the aircraft based at LBA, hence the sight of BY 762's at HUY during early summer 2003/4 when this aircraft was being used at Leeds, before reverting to B757's from June onwards. The times of the flights also suggest this as on certain days the aircraft would leave LBA early morning and not return until late at night, with HUY having had a mid-afternoon BY service.
Not sure about MYT, but again I think that the LBA based aircraft used to do some of the winter 'W' services, such as TFS. G-PIDS was the usual B757 based at LBA in winter 2003/4 and was also regularly seen at HUY during this time. Could be that a MAN based aircraft may do some of the services too and in the future.
From what i have seen, aircraft operating 'W' patterns often keep close to airports that the aircraft is based at, presumably as it makes crew changes/travelling much shorter and easier.

There seems to be alot of negative posts on here towards HUY; DSA will clearly have some effect but it's not going to kill off all flights from HUY. Provided that airlines can operate in/out of HUY at the same cost as DSA then why should they move all their services? Many HUY passengers come from the Hull/Grimsby area and HUY is much nearer for them than DSA. Note also that the DSA based Thomsonfly B737-800 is slated to do a W-rotation into HUY this summer. Hence Thomson must think there's still demand for services from both airports??

So no MyTravel then
Was hoping for Sun Express to Antalya but never mind, the fact we have got the route is what counts
As ever Saturday is the busiest day for charters
