winter 24/5

Quite a few routes (unsurprisingly) not loaded for winter Nov-Mar LCA, KGC, CFU, HER, PMI, JER, DLM plus others.

LYS back from Nov but a very limited schedule with currently only flights in Nov, Jan and Feb.

BER to only 2 flights a week

LIS - nothing loaded after end Oct

NAP and NTE still showing in drop down menu in app!!!

Clearly a work in progress, will be very interesting to see how they utilise 3 aircraft over the winter given that so many destinations are summer seasonal - or will there be a reduction in based units over the winter?
Not sure how much of this schedule will remain in tact but some other points I have taken

1) Completely ignores the BHX November night closures but no different to Ryanair which they do every year and they been based for years and they have to revise the schedule

2) No flights on a Wednesday virtually all winter for the based aircraft other than CDG in November only

3) None of the away based 23/24 winter routes are operating from the BHX base other than CDG in November which seems unlikely

4) Lisbon bookable in the Holidays app from 1st March so it does appear to be resting over the rest of winter

5) Glasgow schedule is miserable again, both timings and frequencies which is odd as Friday's in May, June, September & October it is 4 a day (three on others) and this route isn't a summer route by any stretch of the imagination, surely some BHX based flights to added?
