Thomsonfly, a low-cost British airline, will be ceasing operations from Coventry Airport in England from November.

The airline currently operates the only passenger service at the airport and this cessation of operations means that it will no longer have a passenger airline service. The airport's business aviation and cargo operations will, however, continue.

According to BBC News, Thomsonfly has stated that has made the decision to stop operating from Coventry Airport because there is an increased focus at the airport on charter flights rather than scheduled services.

Passengers with Thomsonfly flights booked from Coventry after 2 November 2008 will be able to apply for a refund or alternative flights.

Coventry Airport reportedly recently lost an appeal in the UK's High Courts for the construction of a passenger terminal with an annual capacity of 2m passengers.
