Lauda have already announced that they are operating some PMI-BHX, EDI and NCL flights in 2020 so I would say this is highly likely for other UK airports including BOH.

Be aware though that Lauda flights are not always operated by Lauda metal, I flew FUE-TXL in December advertised as Lauda but was operated on an FR 738.

[BOHEuropean]

On Friday's, from 1st May 2020 - 25th September 2020, TUI will operate to Skiathos

07:10-12:25 BOH-JSI
13:25-14:55 JSI-BOH

However, that now means there are three departures on Friday mornings, all listed as TUI Airways on the TUI site:

06:00-11:15 BOH-CFU
07:10-12:25 BOH-JSI
07:50-10:55 BOH-REU

Still only two departures in the afternoons on Friday's:

14:25-20:20 BOH-HER
16:00-20:05 BOH-TFS

Interesting that the aircraft will presumably position down every Friday, rather than operating a W pattern into the airport for the weekend.

As a side note, Freebird will be operating the AYT again next summer but only on Wednesday, 20th May - 23rd September

09:30-15:50 BOH-AYT
06:00-08:30 AYT-BOH

You are correct. These new routes and changes were released last week and updated yesterday.

Great news about Skiathos being added a very popular choice and should sell well

Not sure how the aircraft pans in though as like has been discussed 3 TUI flights now depart Friday am

Good to see an increase in Antalya flights with TUI operating on Sat and now an extra service on Wed with Freebird no doubt

Wondering now if TUI will share the second based aircraft with Exeter as they now have a second based aircraft Mon - Wed

[Sharklet_321]

Lauda will be operating in S20 to Palma from BOH

I think BOH benefits from a LTN based a/c for 0.5 a week, and then EXT gets the other half of the week for a second aircraft there.

So EXT and BOH both see 1 and a 1/2 737NG's based for them each week.

Back in the early 70's LTN had around 10 Court Line 1-11 500's and 2 Tristars
BMA usually had one or two 1-11 500's operating on IT's.
Dan Air had 5 LTN based 1-11 300/400's plus the Comets and 727-100's coming in on W patterns for longer routes.
Monarch had both a handful of Brits and a handful of 720B's based
and Britannia had about a dozen or so 737-200's on the fleet by then

It’s not a LTN-based 737 though if it’s spending the whole week out of LTN? LTN only had one based aircraft this summer (757) and will have at least one for S20 (not sure which type). The original thoughts were that a LTN a/c would spend Mon-Thurs there and then work from BOH Fri-Sun. It now looks like a single a/c will operate from EXT Mon-Thurs and BOH Fri-Sun, meaning the a/c is clearly not LTN-based.

[rog747]

Maybe the 738 was intended for LTN base and has now been redeployed - No worries - Just happy we have some more stuff and hols from down here in our local patch

[Bournemouthair]

So is the second TUI Aircraft based a fixed schedule from summer 2020

[MARKEYD]

Yes i think that’s actually been confirmed from some time now and has been in discussion for a while

Friday to Sunday based

[MARKEYD]

TUI have removed Reus from sale on a Friday now which clears up the issue of 3 departures on Friday am
Remains to be seen if its brought back on sale on another day that better fits in , but at the moment its been removed

[Dropoffcharge]

I guess this will be rescheduled where there is a gap as was a new route wasn't it?

[MARKEYD]

August passenger figures are finally out and worth the wait again

August saw 97 , 311 passengers up a huge 21 %

Looks like the TUI passenger figures are more reliable this month , will just publish a few of the new destinations , the rest of the TUI operation was about 98 % full , given Aug is there top month

Heraklion 1821 pax average about 182 per flight
Kefalonia 1475 pax average of about 184 per flight
Antalya. 1703 pax average about 170 per flight


Ryanair also had a good month with high load factors on most of the Spanish routes

Dublin 5933 pax , average of about 165 per flight
Prague. 2820. pax , average of about 157 per flight
Krakow 3202 pax , average of 178 per flight

Palma of note saw 18 , 367 use this route between TUI and Ryanair , quite incredible

Hopefully Ryanair should finish off there summer 2020 soon . I think they are tinkering around with the missing gaps for Gerona so may see Palma in there or even better a new destination

[MARKEYD]

Ryanair continue to load the summer 20 flights with Palma now showing as operating daily and has already been confirmed that Lauda will operate 5 of these flights on a A320 ( nice to see a new airline at BOH )

There is still 4 gaps in the operation at the moment so it is still possible that Gerona will continue to operate as they did last year and given that Southend today are operating to Gerona as a new destination using a SEN based aircraft its quite probable , or else a new destination is going to be offered

[yeo valley]

Ryanair will fly to Gerona from 1 UK airport next summer,and that airport will be STN,all rotations to Gerona will finish end of winter season with the exception of STN.
The airline Lauda is wholely owned by Ryanair,as they bought the remaining shares to own the airline.

[Sharklet_321]

I would expect Ryanair to announce a new route or two sooner or later

Both are acceptable spellings, Gerona is actually more correct as it is the Spanish, Girona is the anglicised version. I believe you might be thinking of Genoa? I don’t think there’s a place in Italy called Gerona? Not a large place anyway.

Certainly sounds like a mash of "Verona" and "Genoa" I'd say. But mistakes happen, after all they're there to be made!

So how come Southend is on sale today as a new destination

Just be careful with your pushy statements , Ryanair are renowned for changing there minds at the eleventh hour , guess they have made a new deal with them

[shamrock7seal]

When will the lauda services be on sale? They’re loaded in the system and showing as sold out online, but not unlocked for sale yet.
