Jet2 TFS
What is the scope for the likes of Easy/Ryanair to get to the Canaries overnight, using marginal time presently spent on the ground ? There's a perceived belief that LCCs should not attempt sectors this long (which I've never quite subscribed to) but if you use aircraft time presently spent parked overnight it will surely change things. And the downmarket end of the Canaries market is used to overnight flights on charters.

Whats the difference between Monarch Scheduled and easyjet/ryanair for this idea - monarch have been operating the routes for years. Could we see loco's fly into TFN? Shorly we could see a Liverpool/Stansted/Bristol/Norwich/Dublin to TFN?? Departure time of 2100/0130 , 0200/0630 (would be back for the morning operations). Go did this a few years ago - didnt really work, but it was winter schedules.

737s to tenerife
Daniel Reilly (the teenager who is setting up nexus airways) is planning to operate 737s to the canaries from liverpool. If they are unreliable on this length of route then why would he choose 737s?

who said anything about 'unreliable'? There are many variants of 737..some even hop the atlantic (bbj). Fact remains though that 20k engines and an MTOW below 64T ain't gonna be much use goint to the canaries. Its just a paperwork excercise to change this..but an expensive one that many lowco's aren't really interested in.
