Credits: CAA for passenger figures, FR24 for rotations and planespotters.net for configs. There are bound to be some errors using FR24 and some airlines have movable curtains designating where business class ends.
The first complete winter month without Thomas Cook since they went under and also with Flybe under more direct control of its new owners.
Flybe routes saw fewer flights and slightly lower load factors as no doubt the new owners tried to stem losses.
Stobart is interesting as they have totally failed thus far on the Shannon with the new timings but it hasn't hurt Cork.
Amsterdam is interesting with little movement but lower load factor reflecting more Flybe jets operating especially the 195.
Spain is a tale of two cities with Barcelona forging ahead but Ryanair decreasing Madrid helping neither pax per flight or load factor.
Geneva & Zurich still look very average but Turkey appears to be doing well. Istanbul isn't quite like for like as 2019 did see five Saturdays instead of four and it is double daily at the weekend.
Thomas Cook were classed as a scheduled airline by the CAA did and these figures don't show the full picture of their loss as Enfidha, Hurghada, Banjul, Marsa are not shown but I think I can say Jet2 and to a lesser extent TUI have done BHX proud in filling the gap with Tenerife up (Thomas Cook had 5 Tenerife's scheduled at the start of November, FUE was up as well (2 TCX planned) and Las Palmas but the latter was not a winter destination for Thomas Cook @ BHX which makes it more impressive.
