More new routes announced today.

easyJet will fly to Gdansk 3 x weekly from 30 October and to Innsbruck 3 x weekly from 14 December.

Ryanair will fly to Turin 1 x weekly from 22 December.

This means that from this coming winter BRS will have twenty-five departures to Polish destinations each week, viz

easyJet to Krakow (7), Warsaw (3) and Gdansk (3).

Ryanair to Wroclaw (4), Katowice (3), Poznan (3) and Rzezsow (2).

With Ryanair's new routes to SZG (announced recently) and TRN, and easyJet's to INN, it seems that BRS's extremely healthy winter ski market (sixteen weekly ski charter flights in each of the last few winter seasons) is being gnawed at again by the low-cost scheduled airlines, what with easy's GVA (at least double-daily each day last winter and 4 x daily on some Saturdays) and GNB already well-established.

And who, a couple of years ago, would have thought there would be four Portuguese sched destinations? Need to get back some of those lost German routes now.

It seems that FR will not be flying BHD-BRS just yet in competition with easy's BFS-BRS because BRS was not amongst the routes to BHD announced by FR today.
