Jet2 Airbus
Flew out of BHX early yesterday to AGP with Jet2 from Gate 69 bussed out to a/c passed a line of Jet2 737's but also an A321 (I don't have any more details) all white but with large red JET2.COM on fuselage and tail. Might it be one of the new allocation?

It will be a leased one, most likely from Titan

TUI & Flybe
Flybe
Getting loaded into GDS and it will be interesting to see how this translates to their website.
The headline at the moment but this is provisional is that Dusseldorf is not bookable and Eurowings coincidentally is 4 daily next summer and all A319’s
Berlin, MIlan, Lyon and Stuttgart all back at a similar schedule.
Other French routes no sign.
Amsterdam is down to 4 daily - I can't believe only one slot taken by another airline ad CDG showing 3 daily.
EDI showing increased to 8 daily - well at least on a Monday two of which are 175's, Glasgow remains 7 with the first out and last in 175's - what a surprise.
Knock on certain days showing as a jet and Newquay is back starting May
No apparent change to Aberdeen , Inverness, Belfast City, Isle of Man and Jersey other than timings.
I only checked random dates so some routes might just start later in the season.

Any news on the easyJet Edinburgh to Birmingham route?
I`m keen to fly on this route as I go to Belfast, Glasgow and Edinburgh several times each a year - Looking for a change from flybe...

BE 2020
Well, as expected quite the cull. The following routes dropped that operated in 2019 from BHX
Avignon, Bastia, Bergerac, Biarritz, Bordeaux, Brest, Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Hanover, La Rochelle.
Of these, Bergerac will remain on the departure boards as will be operated by Jet2.
So that leaves only Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, Stuttgart, Milan, Lyon and Nantes as Eurooean routes. Better than nothing but so much for the rumours that BHX was a profitable base for BE and the blurb about maintaining regional connectivity in the Virgin Connect press releases.

The rest are just much reduced if certain booking engines are correct
I think all from July
NTE - Mon & Fri -
BOD - Tue/Thu/Sat
EGC - SatAVN - Sat
BES- Sat
LRH- Sat

Quite surprised to see DUS dropped by BE. I noted last time I booked EWG (DUS-BHX-DUS) that they were down to 2 daily (weekdays). Was/is that a temporary thing? With BE dropping DUS, will EWG increase their frequency?

The routes are
Dusseldorf - 1 - 3 daily
Hamburg 4- 6 a week
Hannover 4-7 a week
Biarritz 1-3 a week
Bastia - weekly
I think that is it just the 5 and I can only see Hamburg getting replaced as a schedule and Eurowings taking up the DUS slack.
I think the problem was a lot of the routes operate for two months only so the capacity cut is quite significant with the likes of Avignon, Brest, La Rochelle and Bergerac just weekly, Newquay starting later but overall it is not too bad. To be honest I have not really delved too deeply other than Amsterdam and CDG for obvious reasons. The base fares on these two look a little high so just maybe we haven't had the last amendments on these routes.

Don't write them all off yet, there's still phase two of the summer schedule to be released; I would expect Dusseldorf to be a part of that although I have no inside knowledge... But from the schedule data, there looks to still be a DUS based aircraft (operates to MAN midday) but no flights in the morning or evening for that aircraft when it would usually fly to BHX and extra rotation to MAN. Unless there will be a new destination for DUS (probably unlikely given all the cuts there) then it would make sense that BHX will still be served.

Dusseldorf
Also potentially triple good news on DUS if there is a new decent schedule rather than the current one where you have to leave the city or surrounding area around 3.30-4pm to get the last Flybe flight back - really business friendly.
