It is just an operator for a tour company and they are operating to most
major airports in UK next summer

it's not though, that are bookable through tour companies but the flights are their own and the southwind website is the main way of booking them.

 

[mullion]

Quite interesting as they have a fleet of 1 A321 and are operating to at least 7 airports in the UK

Sorry it should read 3 but with different seating

 

[Silvercity]

Maybe the airport company are still a bit unsure if this operation will actually begin. Perhaps they feel it's best wait a bit.

Just been doing some digging, the flights are chartered by Holiday Best and not scheduled and cover
BHX,BRS,EMA,EDI,GLA, LBA,LPL, STN, MAN and NCL and are opertaed with 737s
Holiday Best is a new company and this will be their first year of operation

There is apparently an aircraft of Southwind arriving tonight at 21.15. Thern departing to Antalya at 22.05.

Not sure the purpose of this.

 

[gulftraveller]

Another Southwind was due at Leeds this morning but did not operate. It seems all their UK flights are either cancelled or on hold, apparently because of sanctions issues.

 

[Silvercity]

Yes , I'm not expecting the series to operate. I was sceptical from the outset.

 

[mullion]

All to do with the Russian connections so very unlikely to see them until after the Ukraine war is done and dusted if ever

 

[Silvercity]

Just read Finland have banned Southwind, due to their Russian connections
