I thought the airport's location with have been purely of technical interest given that the average turnround is 30 mins. Or is it because the airport is in France, home of so many Lazy Grenouilles

Goldtrail

The DLM for Goldtrail has been on and off sale for the last 48 hours. At the moment it is ON sale.
Goldtrail wanted to share on the First Choice DLM operated by SunExpress on a Monday - not possible, but were however given a top deal by Onur to operate this for themselves.
Aircraft type will depend on loads, aircraft avaliability and the wind and the rain on the day etc.....
More important the flight is subject to an additional sharer on the flight, the latter being the real decider whether this will happen or not.
________
Thomas Cook Puerto Plata is a clerical mistake.
Funchal will however be direct for S07, Thomas Cook will share, with Atlantic, and it is expected that next week MyTravel will also announce they will share on this flight also.

BombardierCR7

Were the rumours about Thomas Cook having a second based or part based aircraft untrue then? Also, can we still expect more? It makes me wonder if Thomas Cook wanted to see how many hits they'd recieve on their website from West Yorkshire if they said that a service to POP would be operating?

Still a few announcements to come me thinks .

Thomas Cook POP? No, it was a clerical error...dont read more into the situation than is reality.

Thomas Cook aswell of others will hope to increase their seat capacity on some routes from LBA in S07, but highly unlikely to be an additional aircraft, more like a larger aircraft. Don't forget although some routes are doing well for Thomas Cook and its sharers, some are abysmal..such as Corfu at the moment...so lets hold back with the expectations for next year...there are many months to go..

If MyTravel/Thomas Cook/Atlantic share the Funchal route, does that mean it will route LBA-FNC as opposed to LBA-CWL-FNC?

Lets hope all goes well with the Goldtrail flights, been put on sale very late. The Corfu flights that you said are doing poor were also put on sale very late, indeed the first flight of the series only operated last night.

Funchal - If you read my post again you will answer your question.

The Corfu has been on sale for 5 month, not "late" in my book. It needs a sharer.

Dont you mean it i'll First Choice that shares?, Thomas Cook and My Trvael don't wont anything to do with this flight?

Also don't forget it' sthe Corfus thats contining into next summer, It's the Zante-Zakythos thats not doing good this summer.

So of you guys need to get your facts right

Nope incorrect as usual from you. I'm not sure of your obsession with First Choice, (remember your first post!) but they have no involvement with the Funchal and never have had.

Judging by your spelling mistakes..this is an alcolhol induced post.

Read my post again..I said Corfu was an example of a route that was not doing well....but not the only one.

Check your own facts.

Well I stand corrected BombardierCR7. I've got First choice in me head for some reason. Don't know why??

You got that in one as well.

Really can't remember sending that post last night. I only got in that state after watching England lose yet again on penalties. Will we ever win???

ashmac, it's the yield that counts, not the load.

LBIA, don't worry about it we all have our off days. First Choice are supposed to be looking at extra capacity out of LBA for S07 anyway, whether that is additional seats on existing flights or additional flights I have no idea, but they may end up on the Funchal anyway. The positive thing is the fact that the Funchal should be direct next summer.

Surely a full 73G flying down to CFU would be making money? Or are they selling the holidays incredibly dirt cheao?

There were a couple of icidents today. First of Jet2 aborted take-off, anybody know why? I got to the airport about 30mins after this happend and no-body knew why?

Flybe 146 aparantly problems with landing gear. Active runway was 14 however aircraft made a fly-by of 32 for tower to inspect landing gear and then circled to land on 14 without icident. Crew told atc aircraft would be tech for a while and wouldnt be going anywhere so requested a remote stand.

Would be intrigued to know what caused the abort of jet2.

Also there was a rabbit strike at some point today.

The weather was shocking aswell

The flight was on the list earlier today. Funnily enough at about the time this was due i heard an aircraft holding on SW side, perhaps theer was problems with the other situations so it ended up diverting ???

Any info anyone ??
