  For all those living and if they are lucky working on Corfu during the winter, there is a sense of isolation and having limited means of attracting any stimulus for the local economy, or for that matter being able to work part of each winter month overseas to then be able to return with the proceeds to fund one's family; all as a result of no availability of direct flights from November to mid-March. In addition there are numerous other essential reasons for travelling - illness, for Christmas and to see and support loved-ones, all of which needs to be done swiftly, efficiently and economically, so flying via Athens is a major handicap. The islanders and Corfu can not improve visitor levels and revenues streams until direct flights are introduced. Easyjet please take note that there is a market waiting to be serviced.

  We have needed this service for many years. It would be beneficial to have some winter flights to and from the uk. Not just gatwick and heathrow but from Manchester too.

  And I'd add Bristol since it's the airport nearest two of my daughters and their families. Come on easyJet, I pestered you for years to fly to Corfu - then having bought GB Air you had to for that season - the fact that you now fly daily flights in summer proves I was right. Likewise if you now extend the shoulder season flights and add bi-weekly flights in winter, you will find I am right again !?

  It would make a real difference having this flexibility of travel during the winter. Perhaps with a real push with publicity, Corfu could get more visitors during the rest of the year which certainly are needed economically.

  Easyjet have been raising everyone's hopes every year for a number now. At the moment the airline making the most positive noises about launching direct winter flights is Monarch. We all have until the end of August to submit feedback to Monarch. As it stands the registered interest in both the survey on the homepage and the Monarch forum topic seems to be modest, which surprises me because I encounter so many people that want direct regular winter flight services. As with everything, if the collective effort isn't made, change doesn't happen. Please spread the word and encourage those with a vested interest to engage in the process. A quick email copied to all those that you know that would find this beneficial would be much appreciated. Thank you.
