Looks as though it's an extension to Loganair's BRS-ABZ route.

Wonder if they are really keeping a direct flight and the indirect flight to Aberdeen (at similar times), or whether the direct flight will get binned off. Both are showing on sale for now.

TUI to drop 5 routes from BRS after this summer season;
ALC, CHQ, FAO, GRO, SID
Holidays may still be available to some destinations using other airlines seats.
Seems the Jet2 effect has begun.

Interestingly at Stansted they've dropped 4 routes but added frequency on 4 others. Maybe frequency over network coverage is TUI's approach to Jet2 expansion. Lets face it the latter flies to most key destinations at least 3 or 4 times a week, if not daily. One of the reasons I've never flown with TUI personally is you're often more restricted to 7 or 14 night stays.

There are 14 fewer weekly TUI flights shown for August 2022 than for Augist 2021 which suggests a reduction of one based aircraft. The present timetable for summer 2022 seems capable of being operated by four narrow-bodies and one wide-body.
Apart from the axed routes there are reductions in frequency to Antalya, Dalaman, Hurghada, Palma and Pula.
Of the axed routes Jet2 isn't flying to Chania or Sal, nor to Hurghada or Pula of those routes showing reductions in frequency. Other airlines do fly to these axed/reduced TUI destinations except Sal and possibly Chania, depending on Ryanair's plans for summer 2022.
Whillst on the subject cof Ryanair there is no Malta route from BRS this summer, nor from CWL nor EXT. In fact, Malta has been removed from the BRS Ryanair dropdown list. Ryanair's nearest Malta routes are from Bournemouth and Birmingham. South West England and South Wales have no Malta connectivity with any airline for the coming summer at the moment.

Every day has at least 5 short haul departures - fri for example - ibz , mah , tfs ,cfu and skiathos plus 787 to cancun. I reckon the other routes could be re scheduled in.

easyJet has operated between BRS and PRG for well over a decade. In recent years prior to the pandemic the frequency was daily/6 weekly year-round depending on year or season. In 2019 easyJet carried 97,500 passengers on the route (CAA stats).
The next 12 months or so show a lesser frequency in the booking engine than in pre-pandemic years but frequency is gradually increasing next year:
From 20 July 2021 then August to October 3 x weekly
November and December 2021 4 x weekly
January 2022 2 x weekly
February and March 2022 4 x weekly
April to June 2022 5 x weekly
July and August 2022 6 x weekly
September 2022 5 x weekly
In the coming winter two of the days (Fri and Sun) due to be operated by Eurowings each week are also operated by easyJet according to the airline's booking engine.

Bristol airport to offer Dubai and Seychelles.
Seychelles will be in easy reach of West Country travellersFlights will be operated on a seat-only basis sold via the trade. They will run over the next Easter and early May bank holiday.
Departures from Bristol will be on 8, 18 and 28 April for nine days in the Seychelles or 10 days in Dubai.
The airport has struck a deal with Air Seychelles and Air Charter Service, which will operate the flight using a single-aisle Airbus A320neo. The 150-seat aircraft will fly non-stop to Dubai and then continue to Mahe.
It will offer a Premium Club cabin, an Economy Space offering - which includes a blocked middle seat - plus a standard Economy class.
Shaun Browne, Bristol’s head of airline relations, said: "This is a truly exciting project for Bristol Airport, opening up our region to new destinations is one of our primary goals.
"We continue to work with Air Charter Service and Air Seychelles with the vision to offer other exciting destinations for the future.”
Charles Johnson, Air Seychelles’ chief commercial officer, added: "We are delighted to be operating this exciting flying programme in conjunction with Air Charter Service – one which marks our inaugural operation from Bristol Airport.
“We operated many flights with ACS last year as they helped our aircraft to keep on flying throughout the pandemic.”

Bristol Airport Planning Appeal
The public enquiry will begin tomorrow (20 July) at Weston-super-Mare Town Hall and will be streamed live on YouTube.
It is projected to last for around 40 days but there will be a break between 16 and 27 August, and a week's recess commencing 20 September.
The main participants including the airport and the council have already submitted their proofs of evidence to the three planning inspectors conducting the enquiry.
Because of extremely limited capacity at the Town Hall members of the public with an interest in the subject but not participating in the enquiry are encouraged to follow it online and not in person. Evidence to the enquiry will be given either in person or via virtual platforms.

The planning enquiry into BRS's appeal over the rejection of its planning application by its local authority last year ended today. The airport wants its passenger cap of 10 mppa raised to 12 mppa with associated infrastructure enhancements.
The three planning inspectors from the national Planning Inspectorate who held the enquiry have been delegated by the previous secretary of state (Robert Jenrick) to determine the appeal themselves. The new secretary of state (Michael Gove) has not indicated that he will 'recover' the appeal to take the decision himself.
No timescale has been given by the inspectors as to when their decision will be announced. The local news media speculates that it will be around the end of this year. The lead inspector said today that this planning enquiry had been an unusually long one - 36 sitting days since 20 July although there were breaks for holidays and the inspectors only sat from Tuesday to Friday each week. The enquiry was streamed live on the Internet.

does anyone happen to know whether Easyjet will be including Mykonos in their 22 schedule?
I seem to be able to book Santorini from April 22 but Mykonos is not bookable. Does this definitely mean it's been dropped? Or do they release different parts of their schedule at different times?
Thanks
