Maybe more GND, SVD, SLU and BGI? The new destinations will await the arrival of the 3rd and 4th new planes. Wonder how BW will adjust their summer schedule for these additional planes. I suspect Norse could do well into BGI but going daily might be a tad ambitious TCX operated flights into BGI.īWs new(est) ATR 9Y-TTG is currently enroute to POS now leaving KEF to YYR. TUI does home porting in BGI but seats are also sold on package holidays. Not sure that UVF is seen as mass market these days, and ANU definitely isnt. The fact that VS is tenuous into ANU and UVF outside the winter suggests that there is limited scope for Norse in these markets. Is this mainly cruise home port travel, or is there some price sensitive mass market in there? If so then Norse might go after that segment. I suspect that mass leisure routes with ample tour operator activity will be where Norse can do best. I am not even sure how VS stacks up against BA in VFR markets on routes where they compete, And VS is well established on these UK Caribbean routes. I do agree that BA is a strong brand in these VFR markets. How much high frequency travel exists in this market segment? Will offering lower fares result in more travel? This isnt a growing market, so there are fewer new travelers that can be added, so one will be trying to shift existing passenger preferences and that will be difficult. Given that the UK Caribbean VFR market is highly mature I do not know how much price elasticity exists. will be interesting to see what happens there. that is a very hard VFR / Business route to crack and if there was enough demand to fill a second carrier we would have seen BA doing daily already. I don't think KIN will be around too long. ![]() ![]() those are no brainers and pretty easy to fill due to the shear drawing power of those destinations. ![]() I would have really expected Norse to do LGW - PUJ / CUN.
