Winter flights
Dear Sir,
In reply to Jason Moore’s Viewpoint article yesterday bemoaning the lack of flights to Majorca in the winter, I fully agree with him.
I have long advocated that companies like easyJet and Ryanair should put on flights from rural airports in Britain on a once a week basis.
For instance Ryanair could fly on a Monday out of Bournemouth, discharge the passengers in Palma and return to Exeter. From Exeter they fly back to Palma and return to Glasgow and so on. After a week the cycle goes full circle and they schedule a flight back from Palma to Bournemouth so that the previous week’s passengers can get home to UK.
I suspect that this would entail the airports, including Palma, to give the airlines a break on landing fees to make it viable but I am sure a weekly schedule would be popular enough with both home owners and winter tourists to make it viable for the airlines. It would certainly make it more attractive to have a holiday home in Majorca. There are also a lot of people in Majorca who come here, or go to the UK on business, so having flights only into London is crazy.
Sincerely,
P.J. Wade
