Round-up
- Marrakech was originally missing from the booking engine for this summer but was put back on sale not long before the season began. Will have to wait to see if a similar thing happens for winter
- Kosice has struggled a bit especially in winter. Wizz was only operating to DSA, LTN and BRS from KSC but following the cessation of the BRS service in June new flights will be commenced from KSC to Tel Aviv and Cologne-Bonn. Last summer the BRS-KSC loads were reasonable (from May to September the monthly load factors were respectively 84.7%, 91.4%, 92.1%, 94.9%, 87%). Presumably the yield was unacceptable or the airline believes it can better them on its new routes
- WOW was very late in putting BRS back into its booking system for this summer and in fact is currently taking a break on its BRS-KEF from the end of March until early June. Cork-KEF is also not yet bookable for next winter. BRS might not see WOW next winter if this recent comment from a WOW spokesman is anything to go by: "The UK has not done itself a favour by voting for Brexit - it's not as hot as it used to be. I'd say the US is the most attractive market at the moment, then Canada, then the European countries."
Completely fair and honest WOW comment.
