Any news on the possible direct winter flights?

Hi

A while back I saw a post about the possibility that an airline was planning to run one direct flight a week from the UK over the winter. Has anyone heard any more about this and if so which company it was?

Thanks!

Hi Fran,

Unfortunately it all seems to have gone quiet on that front just now....I've not heard a whisper or even a rumour for a while.   Maybe Joe will have heard of something on the grapevine.

Joe:
Not going to happen unfortunately, if there was money to be made on that route then someone would have jumped in already, there just isn't the demand to fill a regular flight, shame. For it to be viable Corfu would need to be able to attract visitors in winter and with all due respect its not the same destination in winter as it is in summer.

This summer there are actually less UK flights going into Corfu then last year, stats like this just reinforce the airlines decisions.

Thought you might say something like that Joe :-(  It makes sense doesn't it?

Have  you any idea how successful GB airways have been in getting bums on seats for the Gatwick-Corfu service?

Joe:
The flights have lasted more than 2 weeks, which is a good sign, but the fact they keep changing the flight times is not. With independent travel growing there should be enough demand for a scheduled to Corfu but only through the summer months.
