CabinCrewe - Billund terminates this week or next. However, Knock up to daily from end of March, Milan, have you seen how much BE charge low-ish pax numbers but I think yield must be good.
Gibraltar perhaps best as a summer only? Palma, Alicante, Malaga etc all seem to do far better load wise from EMA in recent months!

As with a lot of the routes there are explanations, such as with Billund - it was announced ages ago (as previously stated) it is to end and quite rightly so, Milan would have been a higher load factor as it was scheduled with the 175 at 88 seats but one was in maintenance for a good part of the month and the 118 seat 195 operated the route distorting the figures.
Knock - are you serious, I know flybe are having their woes but chop a route after one month!!!!
Palma shouldn't have been included as it only operated for a few days and several flights would have gone out from BHX light-loaded as the last flight was something like the 6th.
I agree GIB is disappointing with the exception of one or two summer months. I would say Berlin and Stockholm, two high profile routes are at greater risk. Arlanda is a bit like some European football leagues, has a winter and summer break - currently suspended and is back late February then disappears again in July.

Gibraltar
I had a weekend break in Gibraltar mid November from BHX. I realise this is only a snapshot, but load figures outbound from BHX on a Thursday was 100 (asked at check in), return on a Sunday from what I could see was 100% full. It would be interesting to see the breakdown of loads over the 3 days of operation per week and other UK airports.

This was taken from the Gibraltar Chronicle on 17th May 2012:
The Government also noted that regrettably services from East Midlands Airport in the UK operated by bmibaby will discontinue as from September 2012 due to the closure of the airline. However Government did confirm that it has acted immediately to ensure the continuation of services by another airline from East Midlands to Gibraltar as from the start of the summer season of 2013, the details of which will be announced in due course.

FR cancel all GRO flights for 2014
Am away,but just accessed email from FR cancelling my 6 BHX/GRO sectors for 2014 and on checking their web site there are now no flights and the alternative is to BCN or an expensive trip up the 42

Air Blue
I've been told today that Air Blue are to return their A340s to the lessor.
MAN flights will probably continue using A320/319s via IST as they did before.
However it is unlikely they will return to BHX anytime soon.
The company apparently is in a bad way and is looking to make savings/reduce losses.
By the way happy new year to all

Monarch/Ryanair
BHD2BFS
Monarch this winter are 4 x A321 and 1 x A320 although it is only the weekend all 4 A321's are in service.
Summer 2014 shows nine based aircraft the same as 2013. The mix last summer was 4 x A321 and 5 x A320. I am not sure of the mix this summer.
The 757 and A300 pass through BHX now but usually only for MAEL. The A300 did get pinched to do the Rome for one flight in January.
ssflyer
Something had to give with BGY, GRO, TRS, MPL, PGF and RZE not bookable and only a few based slots available. Obviously GRO and BGY could operate exclusively from the away base but not to be. Pure guess-work but BHX could see another two of these routes go. Work colleague on PGF in May has not been told that the flight is cancelled as yet.

Pete wouldn't have any idea, just happened to look at July and didn't actually intend to look at PGF. One other thing AGP 5 weekly with FR outside peak summer, normal or cut?

Malaga at five flights a week would be a cut but I assume the schedule could well see the two missing flights added back as there are gaps in the Tuesday and Thursday schedule.
Reus also showing two a week and Dublin just two a day some days in July.
At least the base seems to remain at four.

Bangladesh Biman DC10 Flight(s) Dates
Just seen on another sight that the 1 hour flight will be on February 24th at 0900. Only one flight open at the moment, others may be put on subject to demand.
