City Airline/easyjet/ March passengers
March was up 631139 +1.6 Rolling year 8592661 +0.9 - Source CAA
Better than nothing I suppose
City Airline - Seems to end 1/5/2012.
With falling pax numbers, the change of ownership and schedule changes
this is not surprising.
easyjet
Next seasons Geneva has changed already reduced from 9/10 to 6 it is now 8/9 a week with Tuesday the only day it doesn't operate and the third Saturday service like this last season operating only at certain times.

bmi update
Just been on the bmi reservations. Showing BHX-FRA in May and June as code share bmi flights op by LH. Flights are 3x A320 and 1x 737-300. I was surprised that they would still be code shared since from 20 Apr bmi leave Star and LH ownership etc. Can anyone give an explanation (same with MAN-FRA as well), and does anyone know what they will do with the a/c and crew frred up???

EZY
If WW were to cease operations I'd like to think EZY would step in; perhaps launching a few flights from existing bases such as NCE, LIS, FCO and perhaps MAD to test the waters before setting up a new base.

BHX-BFS
Easyjet probably smell blood!
Flybe BHX-BHD is very well established and is operated up to 7 times a day during the summer. If BMIBaby don't survive then 12 weekly flights to BFS from the winter schedule will be replacement, not extra capacity.

Thank you: Jon this is a facinating tool for analytical useage.
Anyone who has not yet had a go at using this facility - Give it a try - It does not replace OP's analysis but may actually increase its value.
A great find.

EZY @ BHX
Great news! Never thought I would see EZY launch an all year round route from BHX, way to go I will be making a booking as soon as tickets are available on Mon, Belfast is great for a night out
Perhaps this is a testing of waters in view of the fact that the future of WW is looking extremely shaky, I have always thought that EZY would be a fantastic addition to the roster of airlines at BHX and there are quite a few WW routes (and non!) that would easily fit into their network should WW cease to operate.....I am probably making 2+2=5 but it would be great to see more orange tails at BHX (ideally in addition to babys)

In other news...
FR to launch Warsaw Modlin from EMA in Oct and TOM has announced the 787 will take over EMA-SFB and EMA-CUN next year....so what is happening to long haul TOM routes from BHX I wonder?

So, EMA gets 787 operations before BHX. What are the implications? Very little I suggest.
Comparing the 787 with the 763, so far as I can see the seating capacity is little different, and I honestly doubt your average bucket and spade passenger would care whether they were being loaded on to a 767, 787, or for that matter 707 - so long as it gets them to their 2 weeks in the sun. You only have to look at the number duped into flying on that instantly forgetable mob that were used by Olympic Holidays last summer from BHX.
Surely from an enthusiasts basis it's a new (soon to be come very common) type and lots of new reggies to spot - but apart from that, frankly, no big deal.
I don't know, but I suspect that BHX will have a 763 based throughout the summer of 2013 operating to long and medium haul destinations. EMA I suspect may not, so their long haul ops may be on a 787 that positions in and out to operate the SFB and CUN.
I'd say, wait until the BHX runway extension is completed and see the balance of power, long haul ITX wise, gravitate westwards!

EZY - BFS/BHX
Interesting that, if as is being assumed, EZY are moving on this route because Baby are allegedly shaky, they have not announced a simlar route to EMA?
Does that give a hint as to which of the majors might being diving in at BHX, should the worst happen with Baby?

EZY BHX-BFS ALL YEAR ROUND
It's good news to see that EZY are introducing a new route to BHX. But I'm not sure it is the first all year service. If my memory serves me well I'm sure the GVA-BHX winter service was operated through the summer only 3/4 years ago, can anyone confirm this, I'm very sure that they did?
