My parents got confirmation of their June flight to Kefallonia:
BD Flight No. dep 15.45 return 14.45, looks like another BMI Airbus to look at.

Graham K, wasn't Mr Blair passing through LBA today - would he have any kind of jet escort, or would this be totally unconnected. And just how "near" was this "miss"?

HH6702, Its a Sunday with Olympic Holidays. Not sure if this is replacement for, or in addition to the XLA(Sunday) flight.

Unfortunately, it is the Kosmar/Olympic flight that was due to be operated by XLA. The flight numbers are BD7673/4.

It was always going to operated by a non-based XLA aircraft anyway, so it won't affect the NCL-based schedules.

Still nothing from Easyjet about a/c no 7. Has anyone heard talk about when this might happen or routes to be launched?

New operators/route rumours seem to have gone very quiet lately

Hot favourites amongst the crews seem to be IBZ and FAO, but some disagreement on a third new destination.

FAO/IBZ and MAD sounds about right to me, unless they go for a frequency increase on Alicante instead of a third destination.

A further point about IBZ is that it is very seasonal so they would have to drop it from the winter schedules and replace it with another route...they seem to like year round routes. Nice and Palma were split 4/3 days to cover the weeks utilisation this winter but not dropped.

EU JET

Crewboi83:

Literally just spoken to a despatcher and Swissport will be the handling agent for EU Jet - this is good, I find out the EU Jet rumour is true AND who is handling it all in one day!

Cheers

That would be strange, as Kosmar don't operate to Turkey, Bulgaria or Egypt. Could be Cosmos though, because they do.

Easyjet a/c 7.....sounds good, that means we should get an announcement any time during the next couple of weeks then.

Thought you would say that, working for swissport. Only thing i could compliment swissport on is their baggage handling side of things, very fast and efficient. As opposed to Servisair who only seem to care about their easy contract at the moment so no wonder no new airlines go to them and contracts are being lost.

On another note, just saw the Mytravel programme for this year, going to be busy for them, however on certain days there should be sufficient time between aircraft rotations (mainly at night) so if things do go wrong such as a delay, they shouldnt take too long to get back on track. Pity only the one a/c this year!
