I tend to agree it does get a bit boring after a while but sadly there aren’t many other exciting things to discuss and when some get their teeth into it it is difficult to let go.
The Airport is full overnight, all stands full.Very little chance of new Airlines appearing, in fact with Sun Express moving we will just be left with the big three EJ, Ryan and Wizz providing over 90+% of all passengers.
A quick look today saw 23 EJ based A/C (14 x A320 9 x A319 )
11 W9 based A/C ( 9 x A321 2 x A320 )
6 FR based A/C ( 3 x 738. 3 x Max8 )
1 TUI based A/C ( 738 )
A point of discussion could be would the Airport be better off with W9 gone?
How many of their routes are already flown by one or both of the other two eg TLV , BOJ , KRK , PRG , HRG, LCA , DLM , SPU, SSH , SKG ,KEF , ATH, BZG, KUN .
Then there are the duplicate routes served by W6.
Who would fill the void , more EJ , more FR or even a small Jet2 base.
As I say I am playing devils advocate but it’s open to discussion.
