HUMBERSIDE - 2

Thomas Cook announced for summer 2013 DLM and PMI

[Travel Agent]

Palma is being operated by Iberworld, cannot see the ALC or DLM on Thomas Cook system yet

[HUYSPOTTER]

Iberworld are now Orbest Orizonia Airlines, wonder why TCX don't know this?

I believe the ALC and PMI announced yesterday is seperate from Thomas Cook.

[maverick.86]

ALC and PMI is with Lostcostholidays.com where as Thomas Cook have also announced a PMI and DLM Good times atlast at HUY

Do lowcostholidays operate their own flights and packages? As far as I can gather they dont even have the means to provide their own ATOL cover..

All a bit strange still at the minute, no press release yesterday about the new flights to PMI and ALC. The Airport Travel saying on facebook when asked who the flights are with saying 'holidays are with Humberside Airport Travel', which sounds ominous.

Is anyone able to shed any light on this? I notice in the lowcostholidays S13 brochure TFS and FAO are also listed as Humberside options, however they are not in the schedules or in the booking engine... Yet.

What makes you say they don't have the means to cover their own ATOL cover...?

Check an ATOL Search Results Authorisations | Check an ATOL | ATOL - they don't seem to have had any issues so far.

JSCL, thanks for the link. I was going by what it said in their T&C's.. There is no ATOL badge on their website either.

So are they known to charter their own aircraft already?

[JSCL]

pug,

Not at all and the ATOL logo (and number) seems clear on the top of the website to me. LowCostHolidays mastered the art of social marketing via YouTube, Facebook etc more than anyone, they've been agents and only agents so far. They are also responsible for running EasyjetHolidays. Interesting times ahead.

Correct, all I saw was the abta badge.

Anyway, hopefully this works out well for them.

i think it is Small Planet Airlines doing ALC with an avarage fleet age of 19.2 Years

Since when did AC age *really* matter? There are older AC operating UK charters that are still in very good nick and the age is practically un-noticable to customers.

i know it was just what i found on the net thats all

Good news again, however they have put flights on sale for Enfidha before which didnt actually happen, Im not sure if they were cancelled due to the uprisings though?

Also seems like they are hoping to announce more growth in the coming months..
