Luton Dropped due over capicity?
No surprise Jersey - Luton service dropped for the winter of 2007/08,when you look at the bigger picture.
British Midland the first winter operating the Heathrow with two a day with the Airbus.
B.A. operating Gatwick six a day with a B737.
Flybe doing six flights a day four with the EMB195 one with a BAE146 and one with the EMB145.
VLM London City Mon to Fri with one rotation with the Fokker 50.
Does this not show the route has to much capicity? if you look at seats available Monday to Friday it must be 1500 or more each way and with Luton being out of the way so to spaek, and they were only offering three times a week does it not show you it would not be able to keep it going for the winter?

I do not know where you get the idea of the Luton flights stopping, all because they are cuting back to three flights a week for the winter of 2007/2008 this is what you would expect.

TOM haven't loaded JER (or PRG for that matter) flights for next summer yet. Could still be to come or perhaps being dropped all together but with the loads from DSA over this summer not sure if this is the case

Thom JER-CVT
Looking at the timetable, there might be enough time after the PMI flight gets back, to go to JER, and then get back to do AGP in the evening. Might need to re schedule the PMI and AGP by about 20 mins if this is what Thomsonfly might be looking at. Certainly no excuse for lack of CVT based aircraft on a Wednesday: currently only two flights operating.
Big question is now, following the apparent decision to stop many city destinations, does JER (and CVT) now fit the TUITravel business model?

Looks like the TUI business model is swinging back more towards charter now, as in the days of Brittania. They started, then dropped DUB, AMS and CDG from DSA, while introducing Canary islands etc. This may be just a reaction to the DSA market's requirements, and you have to commend them for trying the market on the city break routes, but it looks like these are not now profitable enough to continue. Jersey has always done well from day one at DSA, so i can't see it being dropped. The DSA - PRG route also seems to be holding its own against competition from Jet 2 @ LBA, but will this also fall victim to a new TUI strategy?

BAE146 lives on?
With Flybe baseing an EMB195 in Jersey from the end of the month Jersey will not see the end of the BAE146.
A BAE146 from what I can make out will operate the second Jersey-Gatwick-Jersey flight which is one of two extra flights the company are putting on for this winter.
The BAE146 will be used at weekends to operate one of the schedules that routes via Guernsey, as the Guernsey BAE146 does a charter out of Gatwick at weekends in the winter for skiers.

Cork - Jersey, Aer Lingus
From 20th May 08; Tuesday and Saturday afternoons, and in addition to the normal DUB flights.
Wonder will this mean the end of RE on this route? Certainly a big capacity increase, versus the weekly ATR72.

It is great to see Aer Lingus flying to Cork. The route always seems to do well although I would have thought Aer Arann is better suited to the route, but Aer Lingus is a good boost for tourism nonetheless. Looking at the times we’ll see the two A320s on the ground at the same time
Hopefully there will soon be some more positive news for the summer. Flyglobespan is going three times weekly to Durham Tees and no doubt there will be a few Flybe developments. There is also a small charter programme to Inverness from the end of June until the beginning of August.

Flybe operated the Luton a number of years ago daily, then dropped it to Saturdays only, then along comes Thompson on the route and builds it with a daily flight, then due company restructoring it is dropped so Flybe wants to start the route again that they dropped.
With spare capicity with a third aircraft in Jersey which operates the two extra Gatwick flights they have just started, the Luton whould fit in well to operate in between them, any company should not have an aircraft sitting around just in case one goes tech.
Is there more to come out of the Flybe hangar with more routes out of not only Jersey but out of Guernsey as well?

If my memory serves me right, after the sentence on LTN they talk about other strategic routes that are being looked into. Where could these be and where will they originate? JER-???-JER or ???-JER-???

flybe JERSEY-PARIS
in the JEP today they said that flybe were planning on starting jersey to paris in competition with BCI. something about sorting the details with the airport (subsidy i guess). what has changed since the last time this was on the table.
with luton, newcaste and paris could be a busy summer for flybe.
