As some of the regulars that know me, I work at POP airport as an aircraft engineer for the airlines. I've just seen my summer 18 program and it's quite alarming and shows a significant downturn from previous years.
Condor will stop flying altogether from May until October.
Eurowings will reduce from three to two flights per week, even though there was speculation that they would fill the gap left by the demise of Air Berlin
Thomson will suspend their MAN flights later this Autumn
No sign of Thomas Cook from UK returning.
No sign of Jetairfly from Belgium returning.
No sign of Arkefly from Holland returning.
The French, Finns and Scandis only fly in the winter.
The Russian carrier Nordwind are set to continue with the 10/11 day rotation.
Those in the know are citing the exorbitant operating and fuel costs out of POP, plus the limited availability of quality accommodation at POP as the root cause.
A real shame...........
