Confirmed today that TFS will continue May-Oct 2017, I believe the first TFS route in summer for many years.

Many more destinations need replacing, namely IBZ, LCA, LPA and AGP, hopefully not too much to ask for in the coming years.

At least it's a bit of good news to start.

Thomson seem to have trouble finding summer capacity for airports where they do not maintain bases. There is no shortage during the winter months and Thomson are now taking bookings on their Humberside/Tenerife South route for the season which runs from November 2017 until April 2018.

Is it that or could it be a case of it's harder to provide crew and engineering cover? 🤓 Is there anyone out there who works in airline ops who might know why?

I think definitely scheduling issues, only a finite number of aircraft (owned and leased) and understandably the larger stations are where they're going to put them.

Initial S25 now showing an extra PMI bringing a grand total of two TUI flights. Operates Tuesday and Saturday. Obviously it’s a long way away yet so anything could happen in that time but at least there is some slight movement in the right direction. Judging by the way the Tuesday flights have sold then I’d expect the Saturdays would sell even better, plus it adds option of longer stays.

I wonder if TUI will ever add flights to like Tenerife or Dalaman from HUY

Unlikely whilst the DSA saga continues. Should that be put to bed then there might be some intention to increase the offering, but actually whilst Humberside remains owned by a company that doesn’t even know it exists, and is managed by people that are looking after their pension pots, I wouldn’t hold your breath!
