Tweet Picks:
@LuxuryTravelled Loganair has confirmed its to charge a fuel surcharge on new sales from 21st March of £3.95 per one-way journey (except PSO).
@RyanairPress After numerous unanswered pleas to the Portuguese Govt to intervene in TAP’s deliberate slot blocking, we have now been forced to remove 3 aircraft & 5,000 flights from Lisbon this summer.
@SeanM1997 Ryanair says the 3 aircraft and 19 routes will return to Lisbon from October 2022 for the winter schedule – when there will be “enough slots”. Thanks @OJoaoFerreira1 for info.
@SeanM1997 You maybe wondering why there are so many Ryanair routes announced. Well most (not all) are replacing Ukrainian routes with matching numbers and timings. The aircraft have to be used somewhere and so similar block time routes are being added.
@SimonCalder Flybe collapsed exactly two years ago. Flybe 2.0 promises to be a “new, better, and stronger company” flying from “early 2022”. But besides recruiting cabin crew in Birmingham and Belfast, there are few clues about the resurrected airline’s imminent plans.
