Thomas Cook stops flights to Tenerife

Thomas cook have stopped flying to Tenerife from East Midlands this Winter all of a sudden,they were available earlier this week.
I have just gone online and was surprised to see no flights so i have contacted them and i was advised they are no longer available,i am very surprised as we have been with them every December for a number of years and the flights are always full !!

    Off the back of this and all the other problems TC have had/having this could be a sign of things to come...

    Mr Wang,I think you may be correct,after looking further it appears they have pulled all their winter programme from East Midlands,it was mainly the canary Islands and that is very worrying,i will not be booking with them now.

    They may have decided to use a larger aircraft from BHX to serve the midlands.

    So because they have pulled a flight then that means they are going down the pan? Oh please!
    They have made it quite clear in the past few months that part of their turnaround plan includes reducing the amount of aircraft and hotels and it seems that the aircraft at East Midlands may be part of that reduction as our usual flight to Egypt from East Mids has also gone.
    Birmingham is not exactly a million miles away....

    Thomson have stopped flying to SKG from several airports now and that's summer flights!!
    EasyJet no longer do NCL - PMI winter flights or even fly to PRG now from NCL!!

    Are Thomson and easyJet now in trouble??

    I agree with mick vandick.

    No, they haven't.

    Just because you can't see a flight to book doesn't mean there isn't a flight.

    Near-time flights could just be full.

    There are flights from BHX-TFS visible now, this summer and next winter.

    They haven't stopped flying that route from EMA either!!!!
