Winter Growth...
Things are beginning to look a little concerning for the airport this winter, there is very little growth...
There has hardly been any new growth announced, with a few token routes operating 2-3 times a week from Ryanair and easyJet to Bydgoszcz, Sevilla and Alghero. Along with Powdair to Sion.
Thomson/TUI's winter charter programme is looking very scarce and can't really see any increased frequencies on easyJet or Wizzair's existing routes.
Last month I noticed growth was down to 6% for June, when other months like for like growth has been up 8-10%.
It looks like a number of easyJet's aircraft will either be parked up or operating fewer frequencies per day during the winter. Especially since the fleet was increased this summer at LTN and compared to last year they were operating 4x daily frequencies to CPH which never got re-instated.
