I wonder how many are travelling using the BA codeshare? It beats me why Qatar want to leave OneWorld. It must bring a lot of pax on their UK flights.

I'd imagine they will still codeshare with BA and other IAG airlines especially as they are shareholders in IAG. As for the rest of Oneworld airlines like Qantas and American refuse to codeshare with them so it won't make any difference.

BA Cityflyer will increase Florence from 2x to 3x weekly next summer. Good to see Florence go from strength to strength.

It's good for tourism, circa 11 flights a week to each Warsaw and Bucharest.

​​​​
​​ There will be Flights next year to Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Finland too. 3 destinations in Norway, 3 in Sweden, 4 in Denmark.

Interesting.

Do you have a source for these new flights?

I think that people, including me, assumed you meant new routes, not existing ones.
I know that Norwegian have announced extra Oslo flights. Are any other frequencies increasing?

EBJ new 3pw

OSL 9pw>11pw
BGO 3pw>4pw
SVG 4pw>6pw

RIX 1pw>2pw

GDN 3pw>8pw
WMI/WAW 4pw>11pw

BUD 5pw>8pw

OTP new 6pw

I must admit that someone is going to blink on the Warsaw routes. And FR have pulled Skavsta, AIR? Given their shortage of a/c, wouldn't be surprised if they pull others. Sweden has an air passenger tax, doesn't it?

No, they have closed the base at NYO, but EDI will continue to operate with EDI based aircraft.

Ryanair to Stockholm twice a week from 30/03/2019 to 23/10/2019 Mon & Fri with Edi based aircraft by look of the timings.
(In addition to Norwegain (Thur and sun) and SAS 6 times a week)

Source: Ryanair app booking engine and SAS and Norwegian websites

Qatar

Looks like upgrade of 10 or 16 Business class seats per flight versus whichever A359 (variants currently used) for the 14 flights per week that's an increase of at least 140 or 228 business seats ex EDI for S20 owe week.

The FR flights from Skavsta may be on the app. I was fighting my way through their website and it showed only flights to STN.

This makes sense based on my friends' experience of business class often being fully booked.

They’re using the a350-1000 over the summer? Where has this been confirmed?
