is there an error on the arrivals board? no SS arrivals between 0630 and 1930? one dept @1000?

I can see a clear safety case for all that controlled airspace.... not! NOTAM the airspace as withdrawn and let the rest of the guys get on with flying in peace

Looks to be very interesting.

So gobsmacking even us DSA fans are refusing to believe it yet!

All you need now is sufficient pax to fill them !!!

787 - goodness knows where that story has come from as the first TOM one's arent due into the UK until Sep 2012!

[airhumberside]

The story has comes from what has been loaded into the OAG and then noticed by routes online

As far I last knew I thought Thomson were expecting them at the end of January? (Pending no further delays) Which would fit in to the February launch flights. Where did you hear September?

[Danny_R]

Same discussion happening in the MAN thread, it has been said in there that the first flight is not until Sept and that upto this point there are no TOM 787's on Boeing's production line so it would be very difficult to meet the Feb target.

Fair enough but there isn't anything to confirm that non of the current built / production line aircraft are not going to TOM. I doubt the TOM 787s will be painted straight away anyway like many of the others are, as they are planning a modified livery.

TOM 787's

Latest update from my contact is now Jan 2013 for first delivery as suits TOM better (not a Boeing delay).

Evidently the Japanese are fed up with Disneyland so ANA are doing weekly packages to The Dome!

[LBIA]

I don't know how true this is but there is a rumour going around that Ryanair are the next airline to be pulling out of DSA.

This past summer they have operated flights to Faro, Alicante and Tenerife.

[Jamie2k9]

As of today everything except TFS is getting the chop. TFS also only showing at 1 weekly next summer. All could change.

[TimmyW]

Just checked on the Ryanair website, and there are no flights bookable for next summer, not even TFS.

You have to wonder when or if DSA will get a break of any kind.

[Get me some traffic]

Not while Peel/VAS are in charge!

[johnnychips]

Jamie 2K9 reports on Ryanair topic that Alicante's dropped. Rest going?

Update from Jamie: Faro going, TFS once a week.

[Buster the Bear]

Yields and discounts. No doubt the yileds from Donny and the discounts that Peel gave do not equate to keeping services going.

[johnnychips]

Hi Buster

This debate seems to be going on at two threads at once - obviously we all can't go to bed or telly's rubbish - so have a look at the Ryanair section for some good points made.

European Championships

Damn! England group stage matches all in Ukraine. No bonus for Wizz from DSA then.

[LBIA]

Oh dear, Its just got worse for DSA.

It now looks like Thomas Cook holidays have dropped there planned weekly services to Rhodes and Lanzarote for next summer season.
