This time of year is always difficult for charter-only airlines as the Summer peak tails off and the ski season is still a long way off.

Todays morning flight from MAN was cancelled even though they had over 110 pax booked on the flight. As much as Olympic do have the right to pull out/cancel at any time, it does seem a bit unreasonable when everything is ready and in place and you've got quite a few pax.

Gone into administration today !

Oh no
 

Oooooooops not another one.

Shame for the staff.

Travel Updates

10:00 - 03 October 2012
Olympic Holidays regrets to announce that as a result of information provided by Strategic Airlines it has felt compelled to end its flying contract with Strategic and to arrange for the remainder of its summer 2012 flying programme which was to have been carried out by Strategic Airlines, to be provided by other carriers.
These are: Aegean Airlines (which already provides flights for Olympic Holidays); Travel Services (an airline with a growing reputation in the Czech Republic); and an Italian airline Livingston Air. Flight timings are little changed and all clients should proceed to their departure airports as normal and use the tickets that have already been sent to them. Clients departing from London Gatwick will be travelling on a Livingston (flight code JN) flight at the same time and from the same terminal (South) as their original Strategic flight; clients departing from Manchester will be flying with Travel Services (flight code SQ) from the same terminal (2) and at the same time as their original Strategic flight.
We wish to emphasise that any change applies only to clients who have booked travel arrangements which include flights with Strategic Airlines (flight code STU). All other flights are completely unaffected.
For more information about Travel Updates call us on 0844 499 0077 or e-mail us here.

LX STB believed to be at Luton, can anyone confirm this ?

Was one parked by the terminal about an hour ago.

I thought Livingston Air collapsed a couple of years ago.....?

The original Livingston suspended ops in 2010. The new Livingston was launched this Summer.

Today
 

LX-STB and LX-STC both left MAN and LTN today, and seen flying over the Atlantic. Anyone any idea where they are off to?

Both aircraft went to Bangor but I expect they are destined for somewhere further west and much warmer.

OLY1B

Goodyear apparently. They were tired......

Wish I could join them...
