If you look at post 573 you can see the gaps that need to be filled , at the moment I would say no second aircraft on a Wednesday as the IBZ rotation has always been in the am and PFO in the afternoon

Good move by TUI on increasing frequency of CFU to 2 weekly. These days people want to fly for 4 or 5 days not a full 7 days. My guess would be that we could see more frequency on Tenerife, Ibiza and Mahon, perhaps even an additional DLM to take the frequency back to twice weekly as it was back in 2008?09? It would unlock a lot more options for a larger number of people.

I am not sure that NAP will come back? VRN would be better for the BOH market. All will be revealed 25th April.

MARKEYD what are your thoughts on Ryanair Paphos for the winter season?

[Sharklet_321]

Great news. It must mean that TUI group is happy with the forward bookings of the new BOH routes for this summer. Enough to have been encouraged to do even more Greek flights next year. This is BOH's forte - mid haul appealing to a larger catchment and not just tiny Bournemouth.

MARKEYD have you done a similar aircraft allocation for the single based Ryanair jet? It would be interesting to see what flying is based and if they are fully utilised.

Crystal ski has again taken a large block booking out on the Saturday Easy jet Geneva ski route which has always proved very popular but as already discussed Turin won't be returning this winter season. It's a real shame that Innsbruck isn't tried again with Inghams ski, or Crystal use the TUI based aircraft on a Sunday to CMF or SZG

Doubtful Ryanair will operate the Paphos route in the winter as loads looked below what they would expect although since March its picked up again, i think 1 flight would have been better suited.
Meanwhile, the powerhouse of TUI is operating a near full winter season to PFO this winter

[Nakata77]

Thank you for doing all that work MARKEYD

It shows that more than half the Ryanair flying is done by non-based aircraft. I think they are doing 45 or 46 departures a week this summer of which only 18 are done by the based unit.

TUI Sumner 2020

Hi All
Looks like the gap on the Sunday next summer with TUI is filled now with a flight to Dalaman in the afternoon.
Cheers Col

[MARKEYD]

Well spotted Col

Thats another destination filled as 2 a week now to Dalaman and 1 a week to Antalya

3 flights left then to fill then , MAH , IBZ and NAP

Interesting that Exeter with TUI has cut back massively next year 2020 with Turkey to only 1 flight a week and Antalya has been cut suddenly to just July / August this year and nothing at the moment for next summer, although could change of course

Its also good news that Bournemouth stays open much longer now in the summer to 0200

Rigby group are certainly moving forward with Bournemouth

[Sharklet_321]

MARKEYD Is that an official extension of their opening time? It is published as 21:30 with prior extension required. Is this a prior extension example or a permanent change in opening hours to 02:00?

[MARKEYD]

Actually I think it’s an extension till 0200 , not sure how it works in the summer to be honest

I guess everyone sits around waiting for the late arrivals to land as most evenings the TUI flights are after midnight so just assumed the airport is open until then

Prehaps someone in the know might have a better idea of how it works

There's an extension only for some schedules but not until 0200

[LXGB]

Interesting story in the Echo.

[MARKEYD]

Not altogether sure what is happening with TUI in 2020 at the moment as new flights are operating to Zante and extra flights to Corfu and Dalaman but according to my contact in TUI , flights to Ibiza and Mahon are not operating next year.
Considering both destinations have been operated from BOH since " whenever " it's quite a surprise . Queue Ryanair to IBZ again

Still leaves 3 gaps in the schedule at the moment, what could happen now is TUI reschedule flights and use some aircraft as W patterns from elsewhere which would then be no requirement for a 2nd aircraft

Watch this space though as still a year away

[Nakata77]

Best to wait and see for 2020. There have been many rumours about an expanded programme.

DAT is converting their ferry flight from BOH-BLL on 3rd May to a revenue flight. The MD-82 aircraft has been painted in a retro scheme of the airline. If anyone wants to book the flight which is going for around 130quid you have to email [email protected]

[Sharklet_321]

There must be more coming re TUI summer 2020 MARKEYD especially since CFU was weaker than IBZ, MAH and NAP and yet is getting more frequency.

Loganair

Apparently Loganair has made the Saturday Jersey service ‘via Guernsey’ thereby reducing services by one weekly flight. Can’t be doing very well for them to take this action before flights have even started.

Problem will always be the limited onward transport connections for the islanders from BOH

Is the DAT flight an ex maintenance flight or is it flying in with pax? Any idea of ETD?

Thanks

[Ex EGKK ATCO]

Cheers. I’ll wait to hear from DAT next week.
