They operate 5 flights ex DUB between Friday and Sunday over winter so assume it's that. It used to come from MAN but didn't really pay much attention this season so I assume it's this.

If you are referring to the flights that recently didn't operate, this was due to Vueling suspending the route temporarily. They have now reinstated since Monday 13th Feb. There is a Vueling flight today at 1510.

Think vueling are having crew issues still so things being scaled back at the minute.
We may see it back next year.
Maybe Ryanair will set in on this route now and go head to head with easyJet

Huge shame to see it go! Hoped it would develop into something more in time, I wonder why it's being pulled with such short notice though, when the whole S17 and I think W17/18 have already been on sale
Has Vueling cut anything else if it is crewing issues?

Vueling have cut LBA to BCN and Paris from EDI/LTN also seems to be a big scale back.
It's either IAG pulling the loss making routes are they having a lot of crewing issues still which rumours to believe.
** GOOD NEWS **
TCX have added HRG for summer 2017 late in the day but I'm sure they can fill it

At IAG's last Capital Markets Day back in November, the boss of VY stated that there are some markets that VY want to expand in so they will set up a route they will operate it for a certain period of time. If after that period of time they route fails to be profitable it will be discontinued. Think that's what happened with the routes dropped by VY in recent days.

I can't I'll miss Vueling, but anecdotally it seems easyJet put up a fight and still managed to fill seats. It's never that cheap neither when I've looked so perhaps there's scope to increase frequency or make it exclusively A320 (where the schedule allows). The new 186Y 32S is coming in a few weeks but that's not going to help with the reduction in capacity following Vueling's departure. My only hope is that Ryanair stay off the route and stick to Girona.

Why would it be bad if Ryanair come on to the BCN route? They can pick up where Vueling has left. And offer early afternoon (which Vueling did) instead of evenings like EasyJet do.
Vueling is not a big name up here compared to the likes of easyJet and Ryanair. Even Jet2 could give Barcelona a go but I doubt it.
