Another one - realistic again, Brussels Airlines won't be back until at least September and should be on the Airbus which is not a surprise having dumped Cityjet

[Navpi]

The frequencies here are appalling 3 /4 a week as opposed to daily. Doesn't look great.

That's the same across the board, apart from the smaller regionals such as LDY (Which in all honesty, didn't have much to lose anyways.)

What exactly do you expect???? Where have you been for the last 12 weeks?? The UK has quarantine in force, most of Europe is only just opening up, and even then business travel will be limited, hubs quiet as much of the world still have restrictions on arrivals. NZ for example bans them.

[chaps1954]

I think what you will find is that most operators will start at 25% to 50% and build as traffic does as it will at most airports.

Wizz Poznan was bookable last Saturday for Tuesday of this week but was removed from sale last Sunday until 4th July and then a few days later it was removed completely.

This route was always optimistic after ending once before as it operated Wroclaw - BHX - Poznan - BHX - Wroclaw.

Without any delay Wroclaw times and days of operation (July only Mo/Fr) also changed so it seems at least this route return on 3rd July rather than 4th but Poznan has gone for good. Cluj still showing for next Wednesday but who knows.

Lauda/Ryanair Vienna per Airlineroute now cancelled to 25 October

The more surprising routes restarting at the moment are Ryanair Alicante on Sunday, Malaga on Monday and Barcelona on Tuesday as I expected them to get pushed back a few weeks.

Ryanair are operating the first EMA flight also this weekend from Alicante. Doesn't Spain open on Sunday which may be the reason.

Vienna

Sorry if this has been reported already, Lauda flights to Vienna due to be operated by Ryanair from BHX this summer have been cancelled. They are currently due to restart on 25th Oct with Lauda flight numbers.

Liverpool the same as BHX, Edinburgh and Stansted operate from 2nd July and throughout next winter.

Hopefully OS will return to BHX so the VIE route stays

[OzzyOzBorn]

Isn't the Laudamotion VIE base being closed down entirely? Reports suggested this at the end of May.

[chaps1954]

No change of mind and aircraft returning to VIE

Austrian - 29th September daily per their booking engine.

BHX shows up now but all sold out until 29th Sept.

Loganair - Aberdeen reducing to 2 a week for a couple of weeks and still outbound via Bristol. Inverness delayed to 24 July.

Blue Island - Jersey won't be starting 29th June - 31st Aug by the look of it

Tui 17th/24th July 2020 BHX/CFU removed from tui website today. Any ideas?

Thanks

Excellent day today nearly 60 movements but a low key start to the new easyjet Glasgow although going by the seat-maps pax barely made double figures but at least Belfast is leading the way.

Kyiv flight today with UAI and Nordwind 77W departed after a night-stop as well as the Ryanair base staring up again.

Mixed in with some freight and GA it was certainly a decent start to the month.

Up next tomorrow is the first easyjet Edinburgh - BHX

Drainage work at the 33 end was supposed to start Monday to sort the ILS problem which is positive.

TUI Greek flights prior to 15th July seem to have been removed as expected.
