Thin end of the wedge mate - the whole lot will eventually go to LGW, Merry Christmas Servisair from Air Berlin ...

Here is a chain of thought, could Servisair actually give up pax handling at STN and hand over the remaining flights to Swissport/Menzies, as without Air Berlin, there is a huge void and the staff needed to support the so small remaining programme will be minimal. Revenue vs Costs ... You can easily see how out of balance that will be ..

flights at two airports require double everything to accomodate,common sense dictates that ALL their flights WILL eventually operate from a single airport--gatwick,its inevitable,unfortunate,but inevitable.:{:{

Have Servisair got the AB contract at LGW then?

and now the passengers go
 

I have been using STN regularly on the NUE route (I have 14 current return bookings which Air Berlin still took the money for whilst knowing the route was already defunct).

I believe Air Berlin is making a big mistake moving to Gatwick, the accessibility is awful for anyone north of London and so you basically allienate a good chunk of your customers. They've pushed me away because I will probably have to go back to Manchester.

STN loses Air Berlin. Air Berlin loses customers. What next ?

Air Berlin
 

Will have to tell my military friends who use the STN-PAD route not to make any advance bookings Gatwick is no good for them !!!

Air Berlin
 

Hopefully German Wings will take up some of the routes that Air Berlin
drop from STN if not we could all be in trouble. STN mvts still down 60% a day already! We'll soon be handling tumble weed instead of a/c.:ugh:
