Don't forget that these are the initial slot requests and, from experience with Manchester's applications, you will probably find that the percentage change may vary.
Hopefully the increase may stay in line with the above.

Winter
Most match what is on sale other than Flybe which BHX5DME question marked quite rightly as at face value it make little sense and even pre-takeover it would be crazy.
Anisec is interesting as the slots would indicate a short season ski route or new city route from February unless they have taken some of the Santa flights which I believe Jet2 are not operating. However these should now be Titan and Thomas Cook although the former is showing nothing for winter.
Seems to confirm Brussels Airlines are going back to the A319 from Cityjet (oh yes), Cork matches the booking engine with it staying there daily four days a week. KLM and Turkish websites do not reflect the increases shown.

Winter slots
Also it shows Thomas Cook Marrakech and are these in place of Corendon as the latter shows nothing this time around?

Word has it not too much interest in buying the ex MAEL hangar (unless all hush hush) but it still gets the occasional visitor. Tonight a Neos Boeing 789 has just arrived and I assume another pay as you use arrangement with the Administrator.
The Gainjet 734 has finally gone (last week) so plenty of space.
BHX have issued a press release heralding the new Wizz Polish routes, glossed over the fact one (Poznan) actually only ended this year and "new" is certainly pushing it a bit but sounds better than reinstated I suppose.
A couple of things pending - whether Air India will bring forward the Amritsar service from mid-September and of course the Amsterdam and CDG Flybe slots up for grabs.
AI113 from Delhi tonight flew over Pakistan and timed at 8 hours 46 around an hour quicker than the last few months.
Emirates are showing a one-stop BHX -Amritsar service now using SpiceJet on the DXB-ATQ leg and I am sure some booking engines show Indigo as well.

May route analysis - Credit CAA for the passenger figures, FR24 for rotations therefore there might be some errors and various seat-map websites for load factor and again these vary so not 100% accurate.
I don't think Emirates has been 70% plus in May very often and slightly disappointing Qatar didn't pick up more passengers. Air India reflects the lack of seats. No change with Vienna and Agadir but Flybe continue to operate as if nothing happened. Cut Zante and Stockholm off but the latter never operated and Zante was 171 average pax and 82& load factor

Especially considering Wizz run a relatively small operation at BHX, and probably not so well known there, and that the catchment overlaps with LTN in areas like Northamptonshire.
The loads on Qatar Airways are disappointing considering the route is quite well established now. Running an efficient 787-8 on the route probably allows it to work profitably, but that route could be questionable if fuel costs were to increase.

Most Middle East flights were up with the exception of Emirates in May for virtually all airports to
Muscat, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Jeddah with Qatar doing exceptionally well

May
Basically Emirates was excellent at 74% but of course affected by the cut in the number of services which increased the load factor. At a glance I thought the most disappointing aspect was Qatar, as Emirates lost 5300 pax and Qatar only picked up around 1500. However looking at the respective dates of Ramadan it is possible this was most of the reason, as it covered all but 5 days of May this year and only half of May in 2018. All in all a net loss of around 3500 passengers isn't desperately bad.
Jet2
11 Based at present and 26 flights today including 4 flights to Palma which is possibly a first for a single airline to have that many to one destination from BHX in a day outside of football matches
TUI
The Olympus A321 seems to be stuck in BHX after the Rhodes and this mornings Ibiza is scheduled out at 14.10 - back in service now
Sporting Charters
The West Midlands not really known for its sporting teams but three charters over the last three days and the season has barely started with Crusaders flying in for the Europa League tie with Wolves but the more surprising ones were Loganair from Gatwick with Brighton to play a friendly at BCFC and last night Air Charter X took Bournemouth back from a friendly with WBA. These are not going to affect passenger figures greatly but quite a start to the season and these are far from the first either.

Brussels Airlines
Further winter increase.
Originally Cityjet were removed from the booking engine and replaced by Brussels Airlines A319/320 mix but Cityjet are back but it is an extra service 13.25-14.05 CRJ9 Monday - Friday.
The last time Brussels was 4 daily in the week it was when the Flybe DH8D in SN colours operated the route at a similar time to the Cityjet.
Cityjet still showing on Copenhagen for most of the winter and all flights which would be a reduction as the SAS A319/320/321 operated at least one of the two daily.

Wow those loads on the Wizz Air routes to eastern Europe, are very impressive! Not a single route under 89% load factor and most well over 90%! Especially considering Wizz run a relatively small operation at BHX, and probably not so well known there, and that the catchment overlaps with LTN in areas like Northamptonshire.
