Vienna & Krakow

Slightly worrying that we will have 3 airlines on a leisure/VFR focused price sensitive route and 2 on another with very variable loads. Hopefully they have all done their homework!

Maybe Jet2 can leave KRK to FR and Wizz and reroute the aircraft to LIS instead....here's hoping!

But yes good news and nice to see a new airline grace BHX in 2019!
History shows that three scheduled airlines on one route at BHX never lasts but at least the totally weekly services only amount to 8 on Krakow.

The Vienna at least is bookable on FR and again it only makes it a total of daily. Eurowings have been superb in letting the route have time to bed in but passenger figures have been low and it has suffered many cancellations or days where it normally operates but was non-ops.

If Eurowings decide to call it a day few could complain as they gave it a good go but maybe it could stimulate demand giving the option on flying one-way on each airline.
