Next year a 787 and they do get TUI 767 so those would be better served by an airbridge.
Plus the airport by its own admission is chasing long haul .
So logic might be to have an Airbridge .
Based on the chicken and egg theory .
If that makes sense .
Besides they wouldn't be making these changes if they weren't a prerequisite for some airlines ..

It's the end of a TUI/Marella cruise season and it will be bringing pax back to the UK. Nothing more. There is no outbound flight other than the normal service on the 737. The aircraft will reposition back to another base after arrival more than likely.

New Kraków services with Wizz air announced 3 times weekly effective 2 May 2019. Pretty strong offering now from DSA. Good vote of confdience in the airport. Amazes me that Ryanair doesn’t see any use for a base here.

LBA offers flights to Krakow as well as Gdansk, Warsaw etc, plus many more routes. I cannot see Ryanair starting anything again out of DSA for the foreseeable future.
Depending on how Brexit works out it might be that Wizzair cut back some flights.

Given DSAs improving fortunes across commercial, freight and GA, I am surprised to hear that it continues to haemorrhage millions per year. The claim by DTVA that the reason for that airport axing charter flights was down to them having to subsidise said flights to the tune of £10k per rotation was largely ridiculed, but it seems DSA is living proof that the theory is correct 
I hope things continue to improve for you guys!

Wizz continues to be a hit at DSA, 38 departures weekly at its peak next summer plus some A321 services. Katowice and the new Krakow service running concurrently is quite impressive. I know Lviv was discussed years ago, so with Wizz Ukraine restarting it may happen.
Bucharest 3xweekly
Budapest 3xweekly
Cluj 3xweekly
Debrecen 2xweekly
Gdansk 4xweekly (5xweekly during summer)
Katowice 6xweekly (Daily during summer)
Krakow 3xweekly
Poznan 3xweekly
Riga 3xweekly
Vilnius 2xweekly
Warsaw 3xweekly (4xweekly during summer)
Bucharest 3xweekly

Well given that half of the offerings are routed to previously unserved destinations that the airport was seeking for anyone to take ' city breaks ' or business visits
The rest I think it's safe to say that the migrant population will be staying as part of the Brexit deal protects the right to remain in whatever country after Brexit .
I doubt the Airline that had had its tough times financially would open new routes if it didn't think they could fill a large Airbus .
Besides one route is going to be an A321 and from 3x weekly to five X weekly but with my illness affecting my memory I cannot recall which route .
However I'd hope to see the mainstream Irlinez buy up the Airbus A220-100/300 on routes that don't quite fill the Airbus 320/21 etc

Brexit or not, the usual pattern when new members join is for migration to increase as people from the new members look to increase their income by moving and then for it to decrease as living standards increase "back home" - this pattern has been followed by all accessions back to Spain and Portugal. The relative value of the pound and the Euro also has an impact.
