Me thinks the loads for Primera as a whole might not be as high as they'd like?
The med flights are doing well although no doubt June for all will be challenging if previous World Cup periods are anything to go by. Not great last night with BHX & STN Newark operating on the one aircraft with STN pax the greater.
Jet2 - One airline with no such worries and going from strength to strength. The latest increases are winter 2018/9 and they seem to go beyond what the BHX press release mentioned a few months back.
Antalya as described is now bookable until January and only stops for around 6 weeks and returns twice a week in February.
Funchel was "up to 2 flights a week" and originally the second started in mid February and it is now all winter.
Venice - not even mentioned in the winter press release - Now bookable twice a week from February
Rome - available at twice a week - Now 4 a week from mid February.
Christmas/ New Year - Up to eight aircraft based some days with 14 flights on a Saturday which maybe only 3 weeks but it is impressive. Alicante, Arrecife and Tenerife are double daily on three days and even Palma added on a Saturday with a third weekly flight added in March.
Brussels Airlines - There is always a downside isn't there? The high summer reductions have started early with it going to two daily on the SU95 with the third flight returning September and the A319 after today in October. Loads have been fantastic so obviously yields feeling the pressure.
Turkmenistan - The current low season decreases should be restored by mid July with the 77L making an appearance again
Fly One - Chisinau restarted yesterday with a longer season intended
Diverts - a few days into the Luton restrictions and first arrived in the early hours although it seems it was SEN 2 v BHX 1 the score last night
