DUS & Turkmenistan
Therefore double good news on Dusseldorf if it is continuing and increased by Eurowings.
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.

In GDS from Friday 6 December 737 twice a week (Sunday the other day).
Connections and fares still to be loaded but looking as if they will be back well in time for Christmas.

TUI & Jet2
Currently replaces one of the two Boa Vista services and one of the two Sharm replaces a Wednesday Tenerife.
For a third time in four years Split is off sale again - must be some kind of record. It has never operated. However summer 2020 still looking good with 10 based and 11 on a Tuesday when the second 787 operates for one day only.

Seat Maps for summer 2020 now showing 4 based A321's as expected.

I've read elsewhere that PUJ is indeed available next winter but GOI isnt, the press release in true TUI style released before booking systems fully updated! But you never know, GOI has always been.a popular route on the occasions it has operated!

CSA Summer 2020
CSA Czech Airways, won't be returning to Birmingham this summer, citing 737 Max delayed deliveries as the reason why, airline has 7 grounded Max's and 32 on order still...
another airline to remove of the serving list, maybe Jet 2 will pick up the slack again?

TUI Long-haul
Punta Cana looks a bit more like spin as yes more seats but you still can't book it for nearly 4 out the 6 months but when you can it is twice weekly.
The timings of the Monday Dubai World Central and Wednesday LWK & UTP really means the second 787 is operating every weekday.
Now for the even better news...…………….Cancun increased to up to 3 a week summer 2020 making the second 787 based for 2 days. Wednesday has been added and this results in an increase in seats after the initial strange decrease as the Monday service disappears for 6 weeks as the aircraft heads north. No such luck for Montego Bay which also halves for 6 weeks.
Qatar A359 started today for its brief pre Christmas run.
Ionian Holidays are offering EFL PVK on the Manchester Jet2 but not using BHX's new service which is a shame.

Aegean & TUI
Great news about Aegean and a very welcome return despite the night hour schedule. They offer some great connections to some of the lesser known Greek Islands or, as I did, it's easy to stopover in ATH before heading out from Pireaus on the ferries.
Also very pleased to see Goa back, it's a fantastic, if touristy, winter beach destination and it's easy to fly onwards from Goa to Mumbai and Delhi to see 'classic' India, depending of course on the seat only prices...
In other news, I have it on very reliable authority that work starts very soon to re-brand the entire Flybe check in area ias Virgin Connect and that they are committed to BHX. However, the long term route strategy from BHX is still a work in progress, but new routes are not out of the question althoughh no major changes in based units planned for the foreseeable

Not often you say excellent figures when down but below 2% 810622 in 2019 compared with 824531 in 2018. At first I couldn't see 800K so overall very good with QR, EK, PK and AI all up.
Ryanair
Girona back on sale from July Monday, Wednesday based and Friday away based. Not sure what the based flights have replaced but suspect it is a route where there is an away base.
Merry Christmas all
