We're going to conjure our inner Greta and all of the family will do it by train now. Deutsche Bahn don't charge for kids so the price works out similar to what we'd have paid with Flybe.

And you'll get a more comfortable seat, with more leg room. In addition you'll see a deal more the the country that you ever would from an aircraft seat.

Ryanair S20?

Either the BHX network has been decimated or we are simply the last UK airport waiting for the S20 schedule to load?

Worrying times as the likes of Murcia, Girona and the Canaries seem to have been axed from other UK airports that have had their schedules loaded.

If so that just leaves only Jet2 BHX to Girona, twice weekly,early morning departures and at a silly price...and Tui twice weekly ,at even sillier prices...

Or rather Jet2 and TUI are charging economic fares while Ryanair are charging silly fares on which they are losing money, and hence they are dropping the route.

It is not the full schedule and clearly work in progress.

The spacing of the flights released so far give few clues but there are definitely a reduction in frequencies on some routes such as Alicante at the moment.

It is possible the base might drop to 3 if the UK bases are indeed to be punished (no further comment yet) but some of routes yet to be released are where the away base is to be closed or reduced. However on the core sun routes Jet2 keep increasing and wiping the floor with FR in respect of frequencies almost to the point of embarrassment when you consider Jet2 at BHX a few years ago didn't have a single flight.

Flybe

Business traveller

According to the link Flybe will be back on Berlin, Lyon and Milan

Is this just a staged withdrawal to lessen the publicity and will the February/March flights quietly disappear at some point? I suppose if they get released for summer that will inspire a bit more confidence.

I am surprised they at least didn't keep Berlin in November and December on the Q400

Girona seems to be dropped from all UK airports with the exception of STN.

July Route Analysis

Sources: CAA for the passenger figures.....FR24 for the rotations and various sites for confgs

Nothing too surprising with Agadir and Vienna not improving. Some business routes had more rotations but some smaller aircraft used helping to increase the figures. Dubai and Doha very average for July and I am not sure if one of the Air India tech stop flights (IAD-DEL) is in the figures and if so it would be 241 and 94%.

Waiting for a flight in Aspire Lounge and a Eastern 737-800 N276EA just arrived and on stand 41R unloading now. Not what I expected to see anyone know more. Sad to see 2 TCX A321 still here.

Smartwings (Czech Airlines holiday arm) op for Czech Airlines mainline regular scheduled service. Prob a 'down day' when this aircraft isn't operating Med charter flights for the Czech market.

Is this a charter flight bookable through an agent as there is nothing on their website to show any schedules?

It's a charter flight, I believe it may be for Co-op travel

Never knew Eastern had that type of aircraft on the fleet.
