2016

Although a steady start to 2016 there have been additions already to the 2016 schedules.

Other than the already mentioned Tuesday Norwegian Barcelona in summer, easyjet continue to add Geneva frequencies this winter. Fairly new is a third Sunday easy Swiss service at 14.55 which starts early February and continues to the end of March.

This when added to the half-term extra on a Saturday will make 10 GVA flights from Friday - Monday for two weeks at least but still nine thereafter and of course the planned the extra Thursday evening service starts as well on 11/2. Half-term week will see 14 flights and still 13 the following ones until the clocks go forward.

Not to be outdone Monarch seem to be constantly adding to this winter. The most recent is a third Fuerteventura a week from Sunday 14 February (first ever Sunday FUE?) for 4 weeks and then the third rotation does returns in May on a Tuesday. I suspect this is compensation for the loss of Sharm although SSH does appear in the timetable from 11 February at the moment.

One Tuesday in February sees three ZB Tenerife flights and two in the following weeks (next Tuesday just one flight full-stop from BHX!), which again is another increase.

Also it is only a few weeks before Venice restarts but that was always planned although up on last year. February with 29 days and favourable whether could be an interesting month.

All lessens the blow of the loss of Antwerp from March.
