As nationally 70% of seats are sold to Jet2 Holidays pax,and their aim is primarily the growth in that market, expect to see new destinations linked to a tie up with hotels rather than bums on seats and DIY

I note your comment that an Easyjet base would never happen at BHX. This has puzzled me for a long time. They have bases at other UK airports where the general competition is similar (Ryanair, Jet2, Tui, even legacy carriers and in the recent past Monarch etc. the combination changing a little by location) and I've never understood why they ignore such a big airport (apart from BFS and GVA)? I think from your comments you may have the answer because I can't understand why this is, and I've never seen any proper explanation, maybe you can enlighten me?

But i do agree, a lot of the growth will be focused on the holidays perspective and i'm sure 70% won't be too far away

I suspect that the new bases are almost entirely jet2holidays, since there are established locos operating on most of the routes. But LBA in particular will have a large number of flight only pax.

I see ‘BrumX’ is slagging me off on another site for the fact I posted the Wizz air news (seems he is taking issue that I was first to the news, WTAF), which means now I basically get slagged off for posting good news! I just can’t win. Seriously, can some people not just grow up and follow the news being posted, and not the person posting it. Or is Birmingham news only to be reported by Birmingham locals going forward. Jesus.

It might be good if some of those kinds of posts were moderated a bit more zealously, given that this is supposed to be a "professional" (in the broadest sense of the word) site, but I rather imagine they all have far too much to do in their day jobs to waste their time on such action.
It matters not who breaks the news, good or bad, they are merely passing on information that they have not previously seen mentioned on a thread.
Well said ATNotts I am on another forum and the bile that comes out of the mouths of some of the Liverpool crowd is disgusting when a non Liverpulian posts or in one case
was told why are you reaading the Liverpool forum when you are from Manchester. Our interests are all the same just we live in another area.

Apologies if it's already been posted upstream, but BA Summer 2019 flights are now appearing online and are bookable. Destinations, timings and equipment (EMB 190SR) appear to be the same as this year, ie Florence, Palma and Malaga and the fares seem remarkably reasonable. Services start on 18th May.
