UKV1121 - Chris Sutcliffe Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Dear Members, Once again we have had another successful month of operations at Fly UK. During April, we had a steady stream of pireps and an increasing number of online flyers, thank you all for your continued support! This month sees a variety of exciting news and plenty of events for you to get involved with. If you have any queries or suggestions for us then please do not hesitate to get in contact with us, we are always happy to hear your ideas. Now onto this month... - Summer Operations Begin As May arrives, we are happy to announce Fly UK's 2010 summer operations. This schedule change sees the termination of our seasonal flights to winter destinations and the introduction of new summer holiday destinations. There are many changes to the full network. A huge amount of hard work has gone into these schedules by the operations department, so a large vote of thanks to them. Please note that another update which will include scheduled (London Heathrow), cargo and ad-hoc flights will be released later in May. Robert Allen, head of operations says, "We sincerely hope you enjoy the start of our new schedules. We have chosen a selection of new destinations coupled with some old favourites to offer a varied and interesting set of schedules for summer 2010. Of particular interest is our new set of European destinations from Southampton, a gateway to a summer in North Europe! " For full details of all the new destinations, summer bases & focus hubs, please see our press release here: http://www.flyuk.aero/en/index.php?page=pr...ease&id=552 - Screenshot Competition Congratulations to UKV1859 - Paul Beal who was the winner of the April screenshot competition with his winning shot 'Breakthrough'.
