Wizz Air stopping Katowice service from 07th Jan 2017 to 29th Mar 2017. They did have it down to one weekly, think I posted about it a few weeks ago.

Vilnius remains at two weekly.

I thought EZY would have decided today about BHX, ACE and KEF, since they announced the Autumn release today.


Still no change on web site, all above still ending in April 17

Anybody any news on BHX?

Air Iceland is only on sale during summer next year so not necessarily anything other than seasonal. BHX not on sale as of yet.

BFS-BHX

I have reviewed the BFS post 24 April schedule (well 2 weeks in May) and it appears clear to me the BFS-BHX service is still possible as the gaps fit the summer 2016 schedule for the route.

If it does get dropped I can only see a massive timetable changes which will mean new routes for Belfast or changing the NCL based Belfast flight to BFS based aircraft and giving NCL new flights.

It does appear easyjet are keeping their options open still.

There of course is no particular rush as BHX-BFS advanced bookings will be minimal anyway and if replaced by city routes it is not much of a risk but if replaced my Med routes they really need to be on sale soon.

Interesting times ahead Pete for EZY
Just noticed NCE only twice weekly next summer rather than normal three, and with BCN being covered by non based aircraft I think a few city options in the pipeline
Only my thoughts

Would have preferred to see an unserved destination, although it might help bring the cost of Jet2 flights to Dubrovnik down, especially when Sunday flights going out within a few minutes of each other

I'd be interested in the load factor for the BGY flights. I've travelled on it a couple of times and the flights were full. Living in Milan this route will be very handy for me. I would like to see the frequency increase but for BFS 2 times a week is a decent start.

147 pax per flight. Probably just OK, but Ryanair would probably like to see the number about 170+ per flight

Bel Tel reporting 25% growth in November if correct pretty stellar stuff. I wonder who the CEO will blame?

Anyone know if Ryanair are still basing the 3rd aircraft for S17? All seems to have went quiet!

BFS Watcher,

Yes pretty stellar performance and well done to the airport. LGW now with much increased easyJet service and of course Ryanair still not like for like business, it is not surprising to see such growth, the lions share of which is LGW. This tends likely to continue though will show once FR on LGW is in its 13th month. Of course we also need to factor in from early 2017 worth EWR going thay is practically a 10K per month drop.....so it's all in the mix...

Word is that Norwegian maybe heading your way from the US, they are recruiting cabin crew for NY & BOS area right now. This will likely be on the 738 MAX but may start with the 738 with seats capped at 150
