Well said Graham.....the mods will be watching this thread, it is sliding into hypercritical and petty comments again.
The majority of us enjoy taking part in this thread and making our contributions where necessary.

Good to see the increased rotations for TFS. Not an awful increase in capacity though. Could we yet see more increased rotations to ACE? I wouldn't be awfully confident about them increasing rotations to LPA and definitely not FUE, however.
It'll be sad to see the 757s go.

See the MOD has gone up in the world from the clapped out 767's of old to dreamliners.
I think with the extra 2 A/C next summer (or is it 1 I've lost track), IIRC LS have some spare capacity and a couple of routes are going to see increased frequencies.
GrahamK, not a pub, however I have seen/heard that Tuhiki on Fridays at Tiger Tiger can be a pretty good night out.

Airport revenue
N707zs and your point is?
I don't think many airports make much money out of flights these days.most revenue comes from airport retail income I think?

So does the rumour has it as making very little money or not making money?
If the flights aren't making a loss, I don't see the problem - even a little extra income is welcome, especially as it wouldn't have been planned for.

N707ZS - Its satisfying that the airport are not making huge profits from peoples pockets! These are MOD flights so the tax payers of the UK pick up the tab! I know from my time at NCL that the airport has always gone out of their way to help the forces.

They'll have negotiate a deal and settled somewhere where they're both happy. Every operator drives a hard bargain, it's business. The most important thing is the flight landed, therefore the airport we're happy with whatever they were getting out of it - might have been a few quid or just good PR.
Lost traffic
N707ZS I get the feeling there is a little jealousy and anger that the flights have gone from DTV ??
Its never nice to see our competitors take traffic away but hey..thats life.
Your discussion should be with Peel and DTV authorities(and on the DTV thread) not here.They are the ones whose policies have driven DTV traffic away..not fellow enthusiasts!!
sorry for the thread hijack..will try and wind him in!
