Ryanair summer 2011

No far from it.
Wednesday is very light and Monday/Friday had a couple gaps, in fact the only
day where all four are required all day is Sunday.
However what happened last year, some of the three Dublin based
visitors in the afternoon and evening switched to bhx based aircraft.

Why the fuss about a new RYR route?
They'll run it until the discounted fees end and then they'll drop it like the proverbial hot potato.
I fail to understand why BHX thinks getting into bed with RYR is a good idea.

Quite right S78 You know the Ryanair way.
Birmingham is very busy at all times - who needs Ryanair
passengers to clog up the terminals.
Send them to East midlands thats what I say

Ryanair summer 2011
MPL
Monday 15.45/19.50
Wednesday 17.45/21.50
Friday 17.45/21.50
As I suspected Wednesday Palma has been added back at
18.05/23.40 but not the Murcia as yet.
Yet more time changes for other routes - beware early bookers!!
Monday - 9 based flights with no gaps unless the Montpellier does
something at 20.15.
One Girona based aircraft plus three Dublin based Aircraft
Tuesday
One spare slot 12.40/18.05 - 9 based flights
Faro based aircraft moved from 18.20/17.55 to 11.50/12.15 plus 3 Dublin
Wednesday
Three based aircraft doing 8 flights plus 18.05 PMI for the 4th aircraft
Based aircraft from: -
Lanzarote 12.10/11.45
Alicante 09.20/08.55
Faro 12.15/11.50 time change
Dublin x 3
Thursday
9 based flights with four aircraft
Spare slots 14.40/18.05 & 19.20 onwards
Faro based aircraft 12.15/11.50 time changed & 3 X Dublin based
Friday
10 based flights with 4 aircraft - full schedule
3 x Dublin based flights
Saturday
9 based flights with 4 aircraft
Spare slots 14.25/18.05 & 19.05 -
Faro based aircraft 19.20/18.55 & 2 Dublin based aircraft
Sunday
10 based flights no spare slots.
Alicante based aircraft 09.20/08.55 plus 2 x DUB.
Hopefully one new destination Tue/Th/Sa or it will be
Dublin flights changing to BHX based aircraft to fill the gap.
Wednesday would be filled if ACE changed to BHX based.

Summer 2011
Ryanair
It appears the Wednesday gap filler in summer will be Tenerife and
not Arrecife but still no clue as to the others on Tu/Th/Sat.
Monarch
They have added a second Sunday Malaga and pushed Papfos
back to the afternoon so that is an increase.
Thomas Cook
Shelm on Saturday swapped to Rhodes.
Thomson
The extra Friday Enfidha has gone (no surprise) but Sunday
and Wednesday still on sale.
Koral Blue
Thursday flight not showing in some booking sites but hasn't been
for a while now.
Pegasus
As expected all BHX flights seem to have gone.
AYT loads last year were appalling.
Blue Air
Still bookable on Sundays - the ex Eurocypria IT

Larnaca
bmiboyz
I can confirm it was never released for Summer 2011 and was at the time
the only real short to medium haul cut-back from 2010 possibly along with
one Ibiza rotation, which has since been restored at the expense of AGA.
Since the first release Agadir has gone and one Enfidha.
The reason for the LCA chop is a mixture of no spare aircraft slot as
Dubrovnik which was on a flybe aircraft is to become in-house and I
presume on the based 73H (if there is one this summer).
Obviously I can't think it is to do with competition as Monarch are
staying three weekly as 2010 and Cyprus Airways are no more.
Not sure if there was over-capacity to LCA but with CY's withdrawal
it looks a little thin next summer. Blue Air is bookable on Sunday, which
is the Eurocypria replacement.

Sorry for the late reply, unless anybody else knows different the BMI base
is just one A319 operating three daily Frankfurt every day. One system now
showing it as A320's but could be just the way they show 32series aircraft -
LH still showing A319's.

Monarch/Re-branding?
Monarch
Still adding Easter flights with another Palma and another Larnaca added
on a Saturday. Only four flights in total but it appears to be utilising the
Saturday IT ski season aircraft but I think that makes Larnaca five weekly
for a brief period at least.
Re-branding - Dublin East?
BHX and Ryanair might not be able to agree on extra based aircraft for
flying purposes but there seems to some agreement to make the airport
look busy.
A recent spurt in positioning flights now sees eight based aircraft!!!!
Just a shame only three are operational at any one time.
On a serious point, at least the parking facilities are being used.

Finally Bottomed Out?
Birmingham Mail reports that passenger slump may be over.
January figures show: 522562 up 0.2%
Paul Kehoe: "Although the increase was small, it hinted that the market was starting to recover and encouraging news ahead of plans to extend the runway."
Still ongoing then.

January 2011 & FR
Manchester Kurt
Did you know BHX accepted more diversions than it lost in 2010?
No neither did I until I checked the CAA stats.
However it is pointless comparing at present as you need to know the
actual number of cancellations, which the punctuality stats will eventually
show once published.
Although the weather was kind to BHX in January 2011 Aer Lingus was
not as Dublin was operating at only double daily for long periods plus
cancellations to MIR & LXR amongst others.
Having said all that, I was a little shocked at how low the figure was, as
I got the impression that more flights operated in2011 but I have nothing to back that statement up at present.
However I will be checking my usual sources to confirm if that was the case.
Ryanair
As predicted FR have added Wednesday Tenerife with a BHX based
aircraft for summer 2011. All Wednesday slots are now filled just Tuesday
Thursday and Saturday to go, although I have not checked for any other
amendments today. Tenerife now 4 weekly compared to three weekly
since the route started.

BHX operating a319/320 info
I was having a look at the lufthansa booking search engine for flights, they are showing a bmi a319 operating from BHX/FRA route until end of may, then when you book flights in june its an a320, so am not sure whats happening there.
Maybe they havent got a free a320 for bhx until june,
who knows.
