No big route announcements for this summer but hopefully the steady growth back through 20 million pax p.a. can be achieved.
Depends what you mean by 'big'?
-Ryanair from 4 to 6 based aircraft
-Easyjet from 6 to 8 aircraft, with 8 new routes including Moscow
-Jet2 up by 1 based aircraft with 3 new routes
-Egyptair 5 weekly to Cairo
-Virgin 4 daily to Heathrow
-Aegean 2 weekly to Athens
-AA re-upgrade Chicago to B767
-Delta upgrade to A330
-Plenty of Turkey charters from Freebird, Pegasus and Onur Air
-Flybe increase a couple of routes
-Finnair to use more A319's on Helsinki
-Turkish increase to 2 daily (both flights see larger B737-900's too)
-Norwegian 2 weekly Stavanger
-SAS increase Olso and Copenhagen flights
-TAP to increase LIS to 10 weekly with larger aircraft
-Aer Lingus regional 2 daily to DUB (making EI 5 daily)
-Waterford flights on flybe should be announced next week.
Not pax related but still good news:
-Cathay Pacific to use larger B747-800F on flights
Routes cut are:
-Lufthansa to Berlin
-Ryanair to Hahn, Memminghem and Biarritz
So, whilst there are no 'big' announcements, plenty of 'small' ones to keep the ball rolling upwards!
