Technically Billund is a resumption - it operated for several summers in the past. And Luxembourg replaces Hahn.
At least one route - Szczecin - doesn't have days/dates in the calendar, or it didn't an hour ago!
I gather there will be nine based a/c next summer.

Well with the new routes begining to come in now for next summer and there is a few rumours out there does anyone have any ideas about new routes for next summer?
I have heard a rumour about:
Westjet to Toronto
Emirates are doing something major in January to do with there UK operations
Easyjet to announce a few more routes with an extra based aircraft.
All of this is just rumours but its fun to guess.

True the A380 Glasgow rumours has been brought up many times and proved false but who knows maybe this time it will happen as was said it is just all rumours until confirmed.

Air China have been doing a lot of advertising in scotland recently, could that be the next intercontinental route announced? Possibility of shanghai although that is not Air China's dominant international hub by any means but certainly not going to be beijing or hong kong.

Air China don’t fly to anywhere in Europe from Hong Kong. I don’t see it as being totally unlikely that air China would serve Beijing, it’s their main hub and they’d hopefully offer a more regular and convenient service than hainan. I don’t think we’ll see air China anytime soon though, I think it’s more likely we’ll see Cathay Pacific, especially since they’re doing very well at Dublin.

Hong Kong would be served by Cathay most likely on the A350-900 but the demand is there should they want to try the route, China Eastern to Shanghai is another route that could work but we need to wait and see if the Hainan route works first seeing as its still scheduled as 2x weekly next summer.
Where have you been? The route ended at the end of September and was replaced by Emirates
It took MAN years to get Cathay back, their European presence is tiny, DUS being recently dropped but DUB added to MAN, LGW and 5 daily LHR. EDI would be interesting but given Hainan have not set the world on fire with the toe in the water route, and it’s highly seasonal and Y focussed, particularly geared towards Chinese POS, not sure CX would be looking too closely at EDI. Unserved market it may be but does it have the year round business traffic DUB has? And unlike DUB, the market fragments GLA vs. EDI on critical mass.
Of course I said DL wouldn’t launch BOS-EDI so expect an imminent press release from Swire......

Good point on market fragmentation however diluting the critical mass. Another factor will be competitive fairs buy EK and QR for the one stop connection, however this has not put them off for MAN.
Heard any more on the WestJet rumour anyone?
