Winter 2018/2019 - Fantasy or fact
The summer solstice has now been enjoyed and, whilst we possibly suffer from hallucinations brought on by heatstroke, thoughts turn to the darker months (also known as the winter schedule).
According to sources I understand that the following may, or may not happen.:-
Cathay Pacific - increase capacity with an A350-1000 between December & February.
Corendon Airlines Europe - commence a weekly charter to Marrakech. This flight will be shared with Birmingham.
easyJet - based aircraft increase to 14.
Ethiopian Airlines - Addis Ababa 4 per week via Brussels.
Eurowings - up 1 per week on Cologne and Dusseldorf but down 2 on Hamburg.
Finnair - look to be increasing from E190 to A321.
Hainan Airlines - once again a rumour of Guangzhou but this has been heard before!
Jet Airways - already reported as 4 per week to Bombay.
KLM - can Amsterdam sustain an extra flight each day?
Primera Air - Malaga already reported as a non-based flight. How about trans-atlantic? Hopefully not but watch this thread....
Qatar Airways - already reported as increasing to 18 per week and maybe up to 21.
Ryanair - 8 based units.
Singapore Airlines - increase Singapore/Houston by 1 to 6 per week.
Spicejet - now that name rings a bell. Didn't we see it for the Summer schedules? Maybe a Delhi flight but do they have aircraft?
Various other bits and pieces including United possibly upgrading to B763.
Take this all with a pinch of salt and we'll see what materialised over the next few months
