[Humberside]

Apart from Monday/Tuesday afternoons and Friday mornings, only enough work for 2 based aircraft, rather than the current 3

Big and surprising blow for DSA if a based aircraft cut actually happens. The w patterns partially compensate but by no means would cover all the lost capacity.

Thanks for posting though as 2012 brochure isn't online yet

[thomson]

Apart from Palma, none of these match up to the flights Thomas Cook are selling for next year, and Bourgas isn't even featured. I'll wait until the brochure is properly released!

[hullcityfan]

The above timetable is the one that everyone will find in the 1st edition brochure when it is publically available on Thursday.

It is obvious there is a major cut in operations (as stated above by Humberside) so therefore some routes have had to be dropped (Bulgaria, Crete, Heraklion, Larnaca & Zante) and others capacity reduced e.g. Palma.

[thomson]

Someone should let Thomas Cook know then, as they are obviously selling holidays to Bourgas without a flight!

[cazza]

I expect to see TCX move into DSA very soon after these cut-backs!!!!

[cazza]

YES I think we know that. What we are saying is that with these cut backs I can see more flights to be operated by Thomas Cook by TCX metal! Imparticular LCA!!!

[Humberside]

I don't think it's particularly surprising Thomas Cook are unaware about Bourgas going at this early stage. The first edition brochures are never 100% accurate anyway, more an indication

Besides I have my doubts over the Thomas Cook brochure anyway being very very similar to what was planned for this summer as off January

[hullcityfan]

For all those doubting. Here is the scanned image from the Summer 2012 brochure itself.

[john2408]

Are Thomson trying to scare more passengers away. with the massive ' flight supp.' £155 to Palma on a Saturday, Who's going to pay that, probably HUY better off without them!!!

Cazza. as you can see from my post on T/C Summer 2012, 'NO' expansion,

[pug]

I find TCX basing at DSA next year unlikely, if at all. The Monarch rumour could have some truth in it though??

As for the TOM TCX mis up, I suspect there is some mistake on TCX part, would explain why Enfidha is in the brochures for next summer.

[Humberside]

Comparing Summer 2012 to the 2011 programme as stated in the December 2010 edition of Thomson Summer Sun brochure (so may not be 100% accurate)

Gone - Bourgas, Heraklion, Larnaca, Zante
Reduced - Bodrum (from 2xWeek to 1xWeek), Dalaman (from 4xWeek to 2xWeek), Enfidha (from 2xWeek to 1xWeek), Palma (from 6xWeek to 5xWeek)
No Change - Alicante, Antalya, Corfu, Faro, Gran Canaria, Ibiza, Kos, Lanzarote, Malaga, Menorca, Paphos, Reus, Rhodes, Sharm El Sheik, Tenerife South

Net loss 9 weekly flights

Particularly surprised by the Turkey cuts and Heraklion going, but ALC/FAO staying, and at 2xWeek, despite Ryanair

[kirmingtonuser]

Wouldn't it make more sense for Thomas Cook to restore capacity at Humberside rather than compete head-on with Thomson at Doncaster ?

No, simply because DSA has a slightly bigger direct market than HUY. Despite the economic factors, DSA was not needed and never will be, but it has better access to a bigger market than HUY can compete for. Therefore I can see TCX downsizing even more at HUY in favour of DSA.

HUY's future as a passenger service airport rests on getting more low-cost airline support. The tour operators such as Olympic, who have remained comitted to HUY through the years, will end up being forced into DSA due to the capacity going there.

Get Jet2 to Humberside and things might be different, but we know how it would probably work for them and we also know how they have bigger fish to fry.

A time of stagnation for both HUY and DSA, but expect the odd route from DSA to here and there, to be announced in the coming months.

Hope Im completely wrong.

[pug]

The drop in aircraft for next year from DSA is said to be due to the 733s being phased out, and the routes to be dropped could not warrant the larger 738s that are replacing them.
