Flight Cancellations

[sammypilot]

Does anybody know why so many Man - Norwich and Man - Inverness flights have been cancelled lately?

Christmas + New Year???

Eastern do tend to cancel a whole bunch of flights on holidays, mainly because their services depend on businessmen, who don't work over the Christmas/New Year period

Some airlines post formal schedule changes in their timetables and associated computer systems for the days around Christmas/New Year (so they never appear), whereas others leave the basic schedule intact but mark up cancellations for the days they have decided not to operate. Different procedures for different airlines, you can't book on either, but they show up different ways on flight information systems.

It's like freight, private, positioning etc flights occasionally turning up on the Ceefax flight arrivals pages, it's just the way things are interpreted by the various computer systems along the way.
