the a 330 is still covering for a tech a320. flights will still be booked up to a a320 service. nice to see the a330,but soon as a320 tech issues sorted then flights will be back to the a320.
would be nice to see services expanded to a330 size aircraft,but that aint going to happen not this summer.

Balkan offer other durations than 7 nights too, 10 days is possible if you go on the Friday flight and come back on the Monday or you can of course book 14 nights on either flight.

MAY statistics. The airport statistics for May show total Pax numbers as 451,331 which is an increase of 3.23% on May 2015. Whilst Domestic and IT figures fell, International and "other" traffic rose. All set against a further 504 fall in a/c movements.
Still no route breakdown stats from the CAA since March.

Worrying that these 'big' airlines don't have a full cabin secure check. I've not come across one I have to say. I wouldn't like to be in an evacuation sat next to someone trying to get their tray table stowed with an oversized bag protruding from beneath the seat in front.

IT/INTL -1 each a day charters poss.
Mail - don't know as still 2 mon-fri. May be cargo flights as quite a few when dock strikes were on. Not sure if that was may or not.
Other - poss private flights as over 300. That could be why overall pax numbers are up. Just an idea.

Canny! Nice to see so many 738's, that's quite a big jump! It's always just been 73G's hasn't it? Maybe 1 738 night stopper. Long may the growth continue, and it' nice to see Saturday staying the same frequency as well

BA have also reduced frequency a fair bit recently, on Saturdays it's gone down to 3 flights a day instead of 4 and many days during May we went down to 5 flights a day instead of 6 and many of those have been on board the 319s instead of the 320 or 321 aircraft which means even less seats on the route.
Both KLM and BA are good at flexing to meet demand, so types should be taken with a pinch of salt this far in advance. Some of the BA times have looked a bit odd for a while (e.g. two arrivals in an hour or so mid-afternoon), so not surprising there's been some rationalisation.

BA/KL
Yes BA have reduced the schedules from 4 to 3 on Saturdays for about 4 weeks. It returns to 4 in a week or so.
Weekday has always this summer been scheduled to 6 but there have been one or two cancellations due to weather etc. But they tend to put a 321 on the next flight after the cancelled 319/320. Happened to me a couple of weeks ago.
KL do use 738 on some flights now generally the teatime to AMS. In the school hols the 738/739 appear on other flights also. I believe the type is confirmed about 2 weeks in advance.
