BHX
.............and just as we thought all was quiet, EZY announces extra Sunday flight to BHX..............disappointed with such praise about BHX being so good I thought they would have gone three times daily on M, Th and Fri

Over the last few weeks when I have been flying to BHX with flybe they have been using a dash, but I used to always fly in the E jets. Are ezy starting to make their mark?

Judging by the quoted figure of 14K on BFS website, probably 10/11K for the calender month it has been a good start for EZY to BHX. Need to go up to 3 X daily for summer 13

It seems to me EZY are going in softly on BHX, rather than loosing too much. BHX-BFS hasn't been more than 2 daily for a long time, both WW and myTravellite ran 2 daily. BE were still in growth in Oct on last year, which given no WW on the route is an achievement, historically they have varied a/c between prop and jet, it was since WW pulled out they went all jet.

If MAN is anything to go by, it also started twice daily, now 3X on certain days. I believe BHX will probably be same very soon.
Anybody worked out if EZY are withdrawing a flight from somewhere else on the Sunday to reallocate to BHX?

Well at least EZY are staying committed to BFS by increasing the frequency on BHX and LGW later this month.
But on the other hand, is there absolutely no rumors at all about new routed for S13 ? Yes Reus and Sharm El Sheikh are nice, but... Anything different ? Like long haul or European cities ?

Jet2 adds Alicante to W13
Jet2 Now have Alicante on sale until April 2013.
Which mean next winter (2013) they will have Alicante flights as this Winter (2012) there isnt a flight to Alicante.
W12: 0 flights
W13: 1/2 flights
Hopefully see some more flights for W13 as this W12 isnt very busy for LS!

With EI not operating Alicante anymore I thought it would have been a great opportunity for LS to add extra flight during the summer 13. Likewise LS to Lanzarote weekly in summer 13 surely is feasible
Anybody heard any further rumours on new flights, it's getting late especially if airlines want a long lead in time

BHX
Based on 2 daily flights Mon-Fri and One on Sat and Sun. It shows a LF of 61.5%. Not bad for a new route. Only had a slight impact on BHD-BHX.

If I can remember last year when MAN started it was similar figures although MAN had 14 flights a week compared to BHX 12 flights, so yes a good start for BHX.
MAN now 16K so looking good
Can EZY cover any other new domestic routes?

CAA Stats
Both Belfast Airport to Manchester performed well and EZY had best month to date by far! EZY have a sizeable and growing share of the market. Though BEs BHD LPL route being withdrawn previously probably helping their own MAN route ex BHD.
BHX EZY got off to a good start, media reports said that the route did a lot better for the first month than it actually did. I think the media meant number of bookings in first month rather than number of passengers carried. However, EMA is down, could be that pax who want to fly to EMA who have used BHD to date, now find BFS BHX a good alternative, ie people living nearer BFS etc.
London Capacity hasnt actually grown massively over last year what with Flybe reduction in schedule, bmi baby absence, reduction by EZY on LTN and STN as well as BA not flying their promised 7 daily on some days...
I would suggest EI and BE are not having a pleasant time on LGW route, its the mid week TUE WED flights that suffer the most. EI got off to a good start on a new route.
Encouraing that some flights have been well subscribed hence indicates that awareness of EI on the route is strong. EI will sit for the long haul being aware of BE's challenges overall.
