flights 2008

[claire tudge]

Is it true that thompson fly are no longer doing flights next year from manchester to lamezia, we have booked east mids to bergamo then onto lamezia but the two flights two overnight stays push the prices up, wondered if any other airlines have taken over from thomson.

It certainly looks that way if you go the Thomsonfly site. And their holidays to Calabria don't feature in next year's brochure, so it looks like that is the end of it.
I think Ryanair won't take it on as they have introduced the Milan and Pisa flights into Lamezia from this month.
There are plans to increase the capacity to 3.5million passengers a year and Sacal (airport operator) is inviting tenders to build a new terminal to accommodate the extra throughput (although it's anyones guess just how long it will take to be built!)
