Some of their flight supplements away from Gatwick can be eye watering. I have friends who live one mile from Luton who have travelled from Gatwick to save money and that includes transport costs to Gatwick.

With the loss of long haul at STN i wonder if this will be transferred to another regional airport
Really quite disappointing as is definitely a market for long-haul from Stansted and flights have always been popular. Had a feeling it might happen though as Cancun was canceled for the upcoming Winter season.

Looks like it's probably at the expense of the Dominican Republic and Cape Verde from Bristol.

MAN/LGW will probably gain the lost 752 from GLA.
It seems MAN will probably lose at least one 738 (to go to ABZ). Not sure where the other one/the LTN one will be going.
G-CPEU isn't due to leave the fleet until Dec 2018.

Just to stop everyone getting their knickers in a twist:
Glasgow 757 moves to MAN
Luton 737 moves to ABZ
Manchester 737s(x2) move to LGW
No aircraft leaving the fleet.
Stansted long haul scrapped but long haul increased at BHX, BRS and LGW.

Will both 787-9 be Gatwick based this summer when G-TUIK is delivered towards the end of May (is it May 24th). Will it be delivered to Manchester like G-TUIJ was? Surprised they aren't basing one at Manchester for the Orlando flights. They seem to be using a 787-9 on a fairly large number of European short haul flights every week from Gatwick, throughout this summer. This seems a bit of a waste for a highly efficient long haul aircraft. I am sure their operations team are far more capable than myself at utilising their fleet, I was just a little surprised not to see the second example at Manchester and dedicated to long haul duties.

So Thomson are basing 2 more at LGW. I did hear that its becoming very hard to get slots in the morning so have Thomson bought some slots off someone to know that they can base the planes at LGW.
