Nothing new then

Ryanair could be making an appearance over the next couple of weeks or so. Whether regarding it's Winter 17 or Summer 18, I couldn't say...

very disappointing.....nothing from Easyjet and I've seen the list of Ryanair new winter routes and nothing at all.

You have? Where is this list you speak of

TCX are bringing back NCL-BJV for S18

Thomas Cook are adding a Thursday NCL-CFU flight next year, taking them to 3 per week. It's available to book now and will be a late/night flight. The island is growing in popularity.

Corfu has seen an increase in frequency from NCL in the last couple of years with Easyjet now operating Sundays also. Takes it up to 7 a week for 2018.

TCX - Monday, Thursday Friday
Thomson - Monday, Friday
Easyjet - Sunday
Jet2 - Monday

I'm surprised that Ryanair haven't started NCL-CFU since they operate the route out of just about every other airport multiple times a week, out of MAN they start the route the earliest in the season compared to other operators (March/April) and they usually go out full.

Thomas Cook also adding a Tuesday Zakynthos on the A321 departing NCL 16:15

Seems to be a big shift in days being added.
Don't want to jump the gun but does certain days now require 4 aircraft?

Are is there bad news of some routes being dropped or scaled back

After having a quick look at days and times (note not actual ac on route just a mock up using 3 based ac shown in colour) the only day which throws up more than 3 ac is Saturday with 4 early morning departures?

Reus is a Sunday not a Saturday

Super breaks adds 1 off charter 3 nts to Iceland in January 2018

Mistral Air to operate Seasonal charters to Salzburg apparently.

Apologies for the spotterish question, but what was the B747 that departed in the small hours of this morning?

I'd be more concerned by somebody describing reduced security levels as a more pleasant experience.

When? is this next summer, they've been op to Salzburg this summer?

Dubai Air Wing

Mistral Air have been operating the past few months for Thomson Lakes. Mistral Air have then been using leased aircraft over from Go2Sky to cover the Salzburg flight.
Neos Air have also been doing the Verona for Thomson also.

Thanks for the info, SWB. Surprising how noisy those things sound at that time of night!

Brilliant to finally see Iceland on our departure boards, it's been a long time coming, hopefully it'll entice a scheduled operator somewhere along the line

Just to be picky, Icelandair operated Christmas shopping charters in the early nineties (and earlier?). :ok:
