New routes and routes ending

[Plane mad 134]

There is lots of new routes and route changes on all the different threads so I have made this thread to cover them all. So you can put it on the airport thread and this one if it helps.

Aw ok thanks for that I noramally look at airlineroute but I will check the other websites as well.

I expect that airlines are holding back until our economic future is clearer.

OK, am I missing something here? The OP’s first reply.... is from the OP? Almost as if he forgot to switch usernames? But why would you even bother with different usernames on here anyway?

[davidjohnson6]

Because I posted a message and then thought better of it a few minutes later...

I didn't get as far as hitting "Send" with my response.

But I had been going to say that the idea of putting all airline and route updates in a single thread seems rather pointless.

All that posting things twice will achieve is to annoy the mods.

Except that for those who only follow a few airports can be alerted to developments which might also affect theirs. For example, there was a recent post on the Cardiff thread that pointed out that TUI were offering longhaul holidays using the new Qatar service. This prompted me to check TUI from EDI, to find that there is a similar, but more limited, offer from there also.

Primera cancel the following flights from Birmingham:

Hopefully these might be interesting to you and helpful sorry if you have seen these before its just in case people haven't seen these on other threads.

All the best.

Agree. The schools are back now so it will quickly drift down the list.
