Hainan - Slots requested throughout W23.
Emirates - Slots requested (if used) suggest a daily service.
Edelweiss - substantial increase in capacity.
Swiss - Slot request cancelled . Proposed new route to Geneva not going ahead.
BA - substantial increase in capacity compared to W22
Delta - increase in capacity, which suggest continuation of one of the seasonal routes or another new destination? I would guess ATL extended.
United - increase in capacity. Extension of one of the seasonal routes?
KLM - increase compared to W22
Wizz - substantial decrease compared to W22. One or two existing routes dropped?
Air Canada - increased. Already known extension to almost year round.
Qatar - increased. Already known increase to double daily, year round.
Eurowings - substantial increase compared to W22
Air France - small decrease.
Lufthansa - small increase.
Easyjet - substantial increase.
Ryanair - huge increase.
Atlantic Airways - increase.
Emerald (for Aer Lingus) - substantial increase.
You have said Ryanair have a substantial increase but didn’t mention that it’s only Irish AOC that has an increase.
Ryanair (FR) gain an additional 223,221 seats, however, Ryanair UK (RK) lose 116,424 seats.
Plus Ryanair are cutting a noticeable amount of routes;
Bari, Billund, Marseille, Nantes, Palermo, Poitier, Santiago, Tallin & Verona are all cut.
