Go back a few pages on this thread and Cork has been mentioned multiple times from when it was announced, when I made a S16 summary, when it was put on sale for the winter and when it actually started!
Thomson release their S17 schedules tomorrow so it will be interesting to see if the Friday Ibiza service that appeared a few weeks ago gets formally announced.

Why do you say that Rivet? Flights are still showing as double daily (on weekdays) on their website, except for the school summer holiday period where they do drop to a single daily flight, but return to double daily in September. This has always been the case since the flights went on sale though. The only change to their schedule appears to be the Saturday evening flight changing to a Saturday morning over the school holiday period, as Buster the Bear posted about previously.

Thanks for the insightful analysis, I'm sure KLM bosses will follow the superior advice offered to them on PPRuNe and drop the route immediately!
Passengers down 0.5% in March, looking as though the airport should return to growth from this month.
Antwerp (23!) + Hamburg (572) = 14 passengers per flight = 28%
Paris CDG (433) = 43 passengers per flight = 55%
Dusseldorf (2287)= 37 passengers per flight = 49%
Cork (871) = 44 passengers per flight = 61%
Looks like a solid start for CDG and ORK, with DUS heading in the right direction as well. Surprised VLM are still operating their SOU routes, I can only assume the fares are helping to compensate for the very poor loads they are getting somewhat.

Thanks for the info.
The flight is not listed on the Aer Lingus app. But it is on the website.
Canberra97,
Thanks for your advice, but I had checked the app. Hence my query...

EI-BUD, you need the new Aer Lingus app, the old one should prompt you to download it if you updated it in the last few weeks.
Very good start to ORK, if it's that good now (Easter may play a part) it should do very well in summer.

Thomson S17
Palma continues the same as last year, Ibiza is new. Flight times from the latter suggest a SOU based aircraft from whoever is serving it, although given that the airline is not confirmed yet I would not read into that too much.
Palma - 2 weekly Tue/Sat Volotea
Ibiza - 1 weekly Fri 'Other Carrier'
Nice to see Ibiza return.

Indeed so re. Ibiza, remember when this was operated overnight by Flybe - 146 that sat on the ground in IBZ for 3 to 4 hours in order to make the timings fit with SOU's opening hours.

Just downloaded the new app, ORK SOU not on the list, perhaps it's just my phone. Anyway, enough about all that, since of the relevant people will pick up on this and then update the info..

It took you 18 days to reply to Capt post!
When I noticed there had been a post added today on the Southampton thread I thought it might have been a new route announcement or some news regarding SOU not a late reply to a trivial point.

Today Monday 16th May saw the resumption of KLM at Southampton the third new airline to start operations from the airport after Aer Lingus and BMI Regional, Volotea commence their first scheduled flights to Palma from the end of May.
I wonder who will be the next airline to announce flights from Southampton, maybe Air France or HOP to CDG.

I was actually referring to new airlines with scheduled flights rather than charter flights although I am aware as many others are of the weekly Evelop A320 flights operating every Friday to Palma on behalf of Thomas Cook that will soon commence from SOU.

Summer is looking good for Southampton, hopefully the 2mill pax numbers will be reached. Canberra97, hopefully HOP do, but would also like to see Aer Lingus (depending on performance and demand), bring A320's to SOU.

With reference to Aer Lingus bringing in A320's to SOU I very much doubt that seeing the flights are operated by Stobart Air under the Aer Lingus Regional brand and nothing to do with mainline Aer Lingus operations.
