Does anyone know why Crystal Ski / Thomson Ski are not operating next winter 2009 / 10 to Grenoble even though there is a spare Thomson Air 737 on the ground at the weekend
This would be the first time since 1993 that no ski charters have operated to France the only one so far confirmed is the Austrian Innsbruck charter on a Saturday morning with Inghams

I see the morning flight to EDI has vanished from Ryanair's booking system, last flight is 28/3. It was there yesterday cuz I was about to book a whole bunch of flights with my new electron card that arrived this morning...
Anyone know if this is staying at x1 daily or are timetables about to shuffle with potentially of two more based planes about to arrive???

Ryanair
Considering they only carried 7,360 pax (41% Load) in Jan 09 on 2 flts per day i really doubt this would come back or be sustained as twice daily until economic crisis is over.
Palmair
Airliner world magazine has an article about FlyGlobeSpan winning the Palmair contract from April onwards with their B737-600. Palmair crews. It also says Palmair won best UK short haul airline for 2008 by magazine which?

Bournemouth handled 62 , 811 passengers in January down nearly 5 % on last Jan but a good set of figures and is one of the only airports in the UK to stay steady with passenger numbers not falling year round
Top performing routes were
Edinburgh 7307
Geneva 5973 ( Easy Jet )
Malaga 5606
Gerona 5303
Dublin 5178
Prestwick 4619
Tenerife 3928
The Edinburgh and Prestwick routes are back to 1 a day as there is no way they can substain 2 flights a day on a 189 seater jet but poor flight times in the summer might alter this especially the Edinburgh service
Geneva held up well as did Tenerife , Lanzarote , Las Palmas , Fuerteventura
with Thomson and Palmair
Barbados and La Romana also went out about 80 % full which is good news for the long haul side
Beauvais perfomed the worst but this is for the chop soon , shame as again bad flight times and not given much of a chance to perform

The Ryanair flight I came back on (from Beauvais) seemed pretty full to me - probably about 75%. Seemed like a lot of school kids though so I don't know about loads during the rest of the week.

hopefully in a year's time those comments (although entertaining!!) will be a thing of the past. i hear things are on track with all the new development.
in terms of airlines i would have thought that at all airports in the UK its a case of battening down the hatches and weathering the storm. to emerge in better shape 2010.

Looks like it is back to flybe out of SOU for me until RYR bring sensible times or the double daily back.

Absolutely agree with the Edinburgh flights, Glasgow at least seems to alternate between early morning and late evening during the week in Summer. Seems like they are happy to hand it to FB on a plate. As the main traffic on the Edinburgh route is BH originating late arrivals there can be a pain as most car hire close shop around 11-11:30 without a stay on surcharge. If they could alternate it like Glasgow that would be good as it gives almost a two day away trip both ways with only one night stay.

I know of at least three people living in the same street as me that were booked on ryanair to edi for the military tatoo. They have all cancelled and rebooked to flybe from SOU little bit dearer but much more time friendly espeically for the older generation. Still i dont think M O cares to much except himself. Push for EASYJET and kick ryanair into touch

Dublin is being reduced to 4 flights per week on Mon, Wed, Fri and Sunday. This is part of a further reduction in services from Dublin, details below are from their news pages...
From July 2009 Ryanair will close four routes from Dublin to Basel, Doncaster, Oporto and Teesside, and reduce frequencies on eight more routes from Dublin to Aberdeen, Biarritz, Billund, Bournemouth, Carcassonne, East Midlands, Malaga and Rome (Ciampino). These cuts will result in one additional based aircraft (five in total) being switched from high cost Dublin Airport to a low cost Ryanair European base in July.

The Irish economy is in serious trouble, so the Irish are travelling less, The Euro is still expensive vs the GB£, so the Brits are travelling less to Euro destinations..
BOH-DUB will get back to daily I'm sure.
This may even be a publicity stunt to press the Dublin airport folks.
