I believe that has probably been the case Mark yes, Also with the brand new world duty free, new Costa before security, whsmith also renovated before security, whsmith opening another one in departures and also a Costa currently been completed in departures, you feel all this has been done with an airline such as themselves coming to the airport.

Hope Germania survie there a good airline and the feedback on the NWI run was good

yes BH Air Balkan Holidays to Bourgas

Just to complete the sentiments expressed here Germania have indeed shut down overnight.

Great shame - they were a great package holiday airline from a passenger and tour operators perspective one of the best these past few years,
although I gather their Terms and Endearment with pilots and crew were perhaps questionable (P2F pay to fly pilots and work conditions)

So Germany's last private long established holiday airline future looks very bleak, ST started life in the 70's as SAT with Caravelles -
Is there any one else now left in Europe?
Monarch was the last in the UK....We have Titan but not quite the same - although they do a few IT Med and ski flights of their own.

Edit - seems its all over and ST folds last night - The Swiss and Bulgarian subsidiaries live to see another day though....

Similar to Monarch in some respects. Just too good to survive in this era of pile it high, sell it cheap and to hell with customer service. I suppose you could say "it's the will of the people".

Quite - the old ethos seems to have now died - even Sunvil have now given up trying to offer their pax a full service IT charter with hot meals etc

(Although Novair in Sweden flying for Apollo Resor seems to be OK - for now, having just taken two new A321NEO's for IT work)

Quote-
''Germania is an independent German airline with a history that goes back more than 40 years. The airline with the green and white logo carries more than 4 million passengers per year on short-haul and medium-haul flights. Germania offers connections from 18 departure airports in Europe to over 60 destinations within the continent, in North Africa and the Middle East.

Reversing the common industry trend, Germania continues to offer complimentary hot meals, snacks, soft drinks, magazines and a 20 kg free baggage allowance.

Germania’s business model combines scheduled, charter and ad-hoc IT flights. Together with Bulgarian Eagle and the Swiss airline Germania Flug AG, Germania operates a fleet of currently 37 aircraft. Germania Technik Brandenburg GmbH is responsible for the company's aircraft maintenance.''

I imagine that the departure taxwould go.

Loganair starting flights to Aberdeen from 01st September. Up to 3 daily m-f and a Sunday evening service. Operated by a 3rd based embraer jet.

Are Eastern stopping or is it going back to its old, unsustainable 6 flights a day?

Old 6 times a day

Aberdeen route
 

This could be interesting if Loganair start Aberdeen route
bearing in mind the route currently operated by a former BMI Embraer operated as a Flybe franchise and a single Sunday Eastern Atr72
Now that the Embraer fleet are all Loganair i can't see them operating there own flight and the Flybe/Eastern
i would take a guess and say the Eastern/Flybe will disappear and the whole route becomes fully Loganair, could be wrong
If you remember Eastern closed NWI as a base
shame we shall see
