On 28 July 2010 Strategic Airlines lodged an application for an allocation of 1716 seats per week on the route. The Strategic Airline application may be found here. [PDF: 330 KB].

The Commission will then write concurrently to all applicants requesting that they address the paragraph 5 criteria in the Ministers policy statement.
