Flybe's W18/19 schedule has been released and a quick look suggests that Easyjet will be back for another season as Flybe have dropped completely their Geneva route and Chambery reduced from 3 to 1 weekly. On this basis, we might even see EZY adding further to the route, maybe a Saturday?

Geneva
It surely isn't good news FlyBe dropping Geneva - yes it maybe an enevitable consequence of the new reality but as both were running last this winter it isn't great news for SOU that FlyBe stop altogether for a Easy Swiss route that is less than a season long, a discounted season at that.

For me this is actually a bit of a shame, assuming the Flybe schedule stays that way and they don't add flights in the future.
I'm as keen to see EZY expand and develop from SOU as anyone, but I do think it's unfortunate if Flybe pull off the Geneva route completely. Their flights to/from there have had good loads this season, and if they haven't made money from them (>80% full Dash 8s on a <90 minute flight at the weekends when demand is highest) then I don't know how they make their money!
From a consumer point of view going to one carrier on the route will mean less choice of flights and possibly higher prices owing to the lack of competition. Also less movements for the airport.
It'll be good if EZY do expand, but there's no indication that they will yet, and even if they do I'd have thought there could have been room for two carriers on this route, at least for another season to see how it all pans out.

Easy jet release their Winter schedule in mid April so over another month before it comes clear what is happening with the Geneva route
Flybe are well known for dithering about with there routes and schedules , plenty of time to add or take away routes for next winter

Further to my post #388 I see that there is now a NOTAM delaying implementation of the 02 RNAV approaches until 2nd April.
Anyone know what's going on? For the IAP to appear in the AIP the procedures must have been approved by CAA, or were they approved subject to conditions that have as yet not been fulfilled by the airport operator?

Understand that Lo lo flights are about to sign a contract within the next 3 weeks with an EU airline to offer the flights listed from Southampton to various destinations next year , they won't divulge who it is yet , but a bit of pushing gleamed the following information
Was told by Lolo its an ex KLM FK 70 aircraft with 80 seats and EU registered

Have to say I was not expecting that as an answer! But looking into it a little it does seem like a pretty wise choice.
The aircraft easily has enough range for all of the planned destinations, and the F70's decent runway performance should mean flying ex. SOU will a full load isn't too much of a concern (if anyone has some even vague figures they would be interesting to see).
From what I can see, the only issue will be the presumably high CASM of the aircraft compared to the usual 319/20 and 738's used by the loco's. Presumably the average fare will have to be relatively high (or not lolo...) to balance this out, although only having to sell 80 seats may aid this somewhat.

S18 Summary
As usual, here is a breakdown of the coming summer. Looks to be a reduction in a number of areas compared to last year, so I wonder if passengers will remain above the 2m mark. From what I could see only Alicante, Dublin and Manchester have increased capacity compared to last year, plus the two new charter routes and KLM being all E175 this summer. There were actually more flights in the peak W17/18 season if my maths is reasonably accurate... Let me know of any errors and I'll update the post.

A bit of a dissapointing summary for SOU,it's seems just as the airport ups a gear then it takes two steps back!
Surely there's more potential from SOU then what is currently being offered?,or is it we are expecting o much from a relatively small regional?

So it’s not then...
In response to adfly (great summary BTW) some of the reduction in total YoY Flybe sectors is probably accounted for by those positioning ops to EXT and EMA in S17 that one suspects carried very few pax.
It does seem like something of a retrenchment (esp. on continental routes) by BEE though :-(

A large decrease on PMI, why?
