I believe that Norwegian are ceasing many flights to the UK from Spain, not just BHX. With the Jet 8 based aircraft for 2018 this takes capacity on the main holiday routes to the level of that before Jet 8 arrived and Monarch left, somewhere between the capacity offered in summer 2015/2016. Of course Veuling have all but withdrawn as well to the holiday hot spots.

The Easyjet rumor surfaces every now and again but always seems to have little substance, more likely is an increase from Ryanair. Ryanair were not able to advertise the usual extra flights/saving holidays bye bye Monarch fanfare this winter as they had just cancelled flights as there was on one to fly them. As this settles down and passes into history I would expect some increase for summer 2018.

Capacity will not reach 2017 levels but perhaps the yield per seat may be better for those that remain.
