Katowice has been axed completely, most likely due to the competition from easyJet and Ryanair on their route to Krakow, which is only an hour away from Katowice. It is worth noting that Wizz have already scrapped Belfast-Katowice once before - in 2008 - along with flights to Warsaw Chopin.

Vilnius seems to be performing quite well, though if Ryanair provide competition on the route I can see Wizz scrapping the route.

With regards to other routes, I would be surprised if Wizz went into direct competition with Ryanair on their Polish routes. Based on their routes from other UK airports, I believe that it's plausible that Wizz could start flights to Sofia, Bucharest and Budapest, though the clock is ticking for Wizz as Ryanair has a base at all three of these airports, and already flies to these cities from several other UK cities.

Thanks for the information, hopefully they will stay at BFS even if it's only the one route they operate too.

I see no reason why they wouldn't, unbased aircraft, so hopefully they stick around.

Advanced bookings for Geneva must be going well. Nice to see them adding extra flights, even if it is just one!

Did Jet2 not scrap their Geneva route recently? Before people start making a song and dance about this additional weekly frequency, last year's passenger figure for Geneva was 23,227. If all flights this year are operated by an A319, there are only 22,464 seats for sale. Even if one weekly flight is operated by an A320 throughout the season (which is not the case), there would only be 23,124 available seats which is still less than the total number of passengers last year. By the looks of things we'll see a fourth year (and probably fifth year given most of the season is in 2018) of decline on the Geneva route.

GVA seems to do well from airports in the UK. BRS in the winter time has 5 flights on a Saturday and all full.

Norwegian S18

Looks like Newburgh is down from 3 weekly to 2 weekly for Summer 18.

Providence still 2 weekly.

I think Norwegian just extend the winter season into the summer season at the same frequencies, then add the additional summer flights later. I would not take the 2 pw as the finished article.

Maybe but they have just swapped SNN and BFS schedules for 2018 which may suggest it could be the schedule. EDI is also down from 7 to 5 weekly and it would suggest if Cork happens it would be twice weekly unless they increase the number of aircraft.

Why is it always members from Dublin who are the first to spread any sign of negative news?

A few weeks ago, it was posted on here that TCX was starting Antalya again next summer. It does appear in the timetable section of their site, but has never been released for sale. Anyone know why?
