It confirms the new services by Corendon Europe to Marrakesh from Feb (1,500 seats) and Air Arabia to Agadir (15,000 seats)
Notable increase in seats by:
Eurowings
Jet2.Com
Ryanair
Thomas Cook
TUI Airways
Notable decreases in seats by:
Blue Air
Brussels Airlines
easyJet
It looks like they have made an error with the Air India slots, which is 6pw, not 3pw as shown
Total movements up by a total of just over 1000 for the season
Not a bad prospect after all the doom and gloom recently
2018/9
Nothing too surprising although I suppose the scale of Ryanair might have gone a bit unnoticed without the usual hype of how they saved the West Midlands from turning into a wasteland (no jokes please), However it is noticeable that there is some steady growth from Ryanair and that all routes seem to be preserved (Vilnius not bookable next summer).
easyjet have dropped Grenoble so their loss is understandable and Geneva slightly reduced as well but Belfast by February will be at record levels 3 daily except Saturday.
Blue Air dropped Cluj which operated 2-3 weekly and who knows what Brussels Airlines are doing but they fill the 319 drop it back to the SU95 - fill that and put the 319 back on it this month for it to return to the SU95. No doubt capacity readjustment by Lufthansa
The Titan ski flight is flybe this year and they have the Lleida back from EMA Jet2 which flatters Flybe's operation but Titan still showing around 14 return flights which will be interesting to know what they are unless they are car industry related and ad-hoc.
Air India of course still have the Friday Delhi removed from the schedule affecting their figures.
Swiss is also interesting as seats are down but movements up and regular A220-300 flights start today with 145 seats but I suppose a fair few 320's operated last winter at times
Eurowings increase Dusseldorf tomorrow to 4 daily in the week with the lunchtime DH8D and noticeably more Airbus flights due at present than last winter.
