Winter18? Do you mean W17?

Is it not that Ryanair has 4 slots for the summer season and 5 for the winter season? Rather than speculate about any extra aircraft.

Could be an earlier slot back from LGW?
Early morning flight arrives at LGW at 8.25, if it leaves at at 8.50 should be back in BFS at 10.15 ready for 10.45 departure back to LGW

Since Ryanair started the LGW route, they have operated 4 services during the summer season and 5 services during the winter season. Nothing new.

In the CAA stats for June, Birmingham and Glasgow show large drops. Is this Ezy playing about with capacity?

huge cuts in Easy capacity on Glasgow in particular. All part of the schedule rewrite after pilot deal was the rumour. Believe schedule restored for the winter.

BHX-BFS June

True Blue

The summer reduction on the route usually happens in the last week of June to the first week in September alas this year it started early to mid June and continues to the winter season although the odd frequency is restored in Mid September I believe.

Winter this year is similar to last year.

It is not good from a consistency of schedule point of view. Easyjet are quite poor at this sort of activity. I know why they do it, but leaves the door open for the likes of FR to step in.

I do hope after this expansion, they are better at clearing the tables than on my last visit on 1st July. Hardly a clear clean table in the area just past security. This at 10.00 am, after the first rush, place quite quiet but with no effort being made to clear said tables. The place was a mess. My email to Mr Keddie was replied to within minutes, copied to about 5 other people at Bfs, he said they were aware of the issue.

Avion Express - all Airbus 320-family fleet. Already used to a large extent by both Thomas Cook and Condor.

Heard same changes to TC programmes in EMA and STN.

The race to the bottom continues .. Avion Express is one of a variety of EU fringe bottom feeders employing crews on shocking terms. They are literally worlds apart from mainline TCX. They may even be involved in pay to fly but I'll need to check that. TCX seem hell-bent of self destruction at the minute.
