The net result will be an additional five rotations per week.
CDG will see much better timings, at least on Monday through till Thursday when the second rotation will be an evening one instead of an afternoon one as is the case at present albeit Friday will remain like this through the summer.
Given that easyJet still only operates one daily rotation to CDG bmir will be useful for those wanting a day return journey on this route with the later second rotation.
The additional flights to FRA and MUC add a bit more to what is already a good frequency with FRA 3 x daily and MUC 2 x daily M-F with fewer at weekends. Loads seem very good for the most part although we don't know how much bmir gets from the LH code share.
DUS is the one that surprises me a bit. Loads have not been great and I would not have been surprised to see it disappear rather than be increased, although bmir's fares probably mean that the return is acceptable on relatively lightly loaded aircraft.
Looking to the summer Ryanair will be operating an average of around ten more rotations each week compared with summer 2015. Most are increases in frequency on some of the summer sun routes but there are also two new routes this summer: Reus returns after an absence of a couple of years and Krakow commences in competition with easyJet's long established route. All routes that operated last summer return for the coming summer.
Looking further ahead to next winter Wizz Air has now put all four BRS routes -Katowice, Kosice, Sofia and Warsaw Chopin - in its booking engine at the same frequency as the current winter. Sofia will be increased to an A 321 next February.
