I am told the driver is Jet2 Holidays (50%-65% of pax,depending on who you talk to) and until hotel packages are put in place the flights won't happen-slots are not an issue(?)
SSF
Must have prioritised Stansted over BHX though as no problem with frequencies from there.
Ryanair - Another away based Palma added this time a second Thursday from June. 6 Nations extra Dublin Saturday out and Sunday in . Next available outbound seat on FR Dublin 12.15 Saturday (13 consecutive full flights) and nothing inbound from FR668 Saturday night to FR670 Tuesday.
Diversions
More quality than quantity today with the Etihad 789 and Emirates A380 off-loading and night-stopping. Also a reminder what United look like with a TUI 788 and Swiss A223 making up the numbers. Quite an unusual day as quiet on one hand with just 2 Jet2 flights although 2 more than some bases, only around 35 Flybe but in the end with GA, freight and diversions it turned out well although a gap did appear between FR749 at 14.16 and FR1449 at 15.39 on the inbound front. A bizarre airport at times with around 250 movements but includes 3 A388's, a couple 789's (EY & NAX), a few 788's (2 x TUI, QR & AI) and an AN26.
MAEL - As mentioned above one of the 789 movements was the Norwegian 789 finally leaving at 15.33 for Oslo leaving just the Air Malta A320 which apparently was hangered at some point.
