HAT advert in Grimsby Telegraph for Weekends to Capture shows 5 departure dates not 4. Vienna is the extra with a departure on 21st September. Doesn't appear on web site yet but I guess there wil be a lot of up-dating to do next week when Eastern flights become Flybe. Whilst on the subject of Flybe what about a Sun departure now they have a relationship with the airport owners.

Doubt Flybe will operate sun destinations for as long as they’re getting paid to fly from DSA..

The Teesside Gazette, Middlesbrough report that MME can expect more from Superbreak. They may of course be referring solely to Akureyri, which is not on sale there - they just have Seville.
Humberside's two trips to Akureyri are now showing as sold out on the Superbreak website - all the others are still on sale.
Superbreak are offering tailor-made breaks from HUY using scheduled services to Aberdeen, Amsterdam and Jersey. Presumably KLM will be making more tickets available for inclusive tours in order to sell the increased capacity on the E175.

HAT advertising another Transun for winter 2018. Three days from 30th November. Looking like my concern for 2018 was unfounded especially if Superbreaks come up with more!

Quite surprised to see an A3 sized poster advertising the Seville departure in early march - in the window of a independant travel agents in city centre Sheffield today! Certainly outside our immediate catchment area!

Report on another forum (forums for airports) that Superbreak are to launch a short 4 week season of flights from a number of regional airports, including Humberside, to Gibraltar. Twice weekly flights. This would also open up the potentiAL of packages to the Costa del Sol, Tangiers and the Costa la Luz. Also there is a seat only market for families visiting forces/ government personnel based in Gib.Hope it comes to fruition!

There is a news item on the Gibraltar Panorama internet newspaper site. They quote Chris Hagan, Head of Propositions at Superbreak as the source of the announcement.
Initial four week programme, twice weekly in July, following the demise of Monarch Airlines and providing services from parts of the U.K. which they did not cover.
Flights from Belfast International, Humberside, Exeter, Bournemouth, Durham Tees Valley and East Midlands.
Final details and date when the packages are to be put on sale will be announced in due course. If, as they expect, the initial departures are successful, they will extend the programme further.
Edit. Another Gibraltar news site has Norwich among the list of U.K. departure points, making seven.

Looks like it will be one flight from each of the seven UK airports during July giving Gib 2 arrivals a week over 4 approx weeks. Any follow-on programme, according to Chris Hagan of Superbreak, are likely to be after the peak summer season because of aircraft availability during August.

There is speculation on the pprune Bournemouth thread about the aircraft type to be used (there is also coverage on the MME thread). The consensus is an A320-200 which will have the necessary capacity to meet the needs of the Gibaltarian hoteliers.
If so, HUY's estimated special departure capacity for 2018 would rise to 3,848.

While it is great to see more offerings, the number of seats available is nothing short of pitiful given the amount on offer ten years ago,

Funchal now added -7 nights 12th October. Gib and Iceland summer departures have been trailed already so Superbreak offerings are looking very good for HUY.
