Turkish July 2019

Airport terminal has been evacuated, apparent fire in the departure lounge. There's quite a few photo's on social media of passengers sat around the aircraft!!!

Had one of those moments some years ago (at Brum too). Fortunately, we were still checking in at the time, so it was relatively easy to exit the building. Took a while to resume normal ops again.

Wizz Air changed winter schedulles and now 6 hours will separate Wroclaw - Birmingham and Birmingham - Wroclaw. Most likely they will announce a new route to an airport that is not their base to be operated as out of base rotation with this Wroclaw based aircraft.

Birmingham - Agadir Eff 07NOV19 1x weekly B737-800 Birmingham - Marsa Alam Eff 04NOV19 1x weekly B737-800 Is there really a 7 month gap before they get hold of the information or have they just got around to it. Wizz - Good news and obviously the reason why it ceased was the removal of the aircraft from the Poznan base and not the lack of profitability. Jet2 Christmas and New Year schedule seems to be growing with one day showing 3 Tenerife flights (12 a week), two Las Palmas on a Thursday for a 3 week period and up to 8 or 9 Arrecife's a week Pete |
May 2019 up 3%

For load factors I used various aviation and airline websites. Note, these are Schedule routes only but include Thomas Cook and not TUI, which is not my choice just the way the CAA process the figures. The 2017 figures are also shown and as you can see some routes such as Lisbon and Gibraltar remain vacant. Some 2018 load factors have not been calculated as aircraft types (configs) are not known on certain days. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....53f50915de.png Some explanations needed as some big swings on certain routes. Vienna, not much change but disappointing in as much as fewer frequencies and low factor not reflecting the change as hoped. Brussels is a huge difference as it was the A319 the year before and only a 3% improvement in load factor so no problem filling the A319 but no doubt cheaper on the CRJ9. As for Star Alliance European routes, Munich has seem more capacity via bigger aircraft, Frankfurt steady but Copenhagen shrinking. Zurich is a mystery as there were a few non-ops flights - so pre-planned cancellations which would explain for some loss of pax. I think Amsterdam saw a reduction of one Flybe and one KLM daily flight although more seats on existing services for the latter but a remarkable load factor. Not really much comment on the FR and Jet2 routes although a few seem to able to take more capacity but again I suppose why risk yields if you can fill them at current prices. Flybe again seem not be affected by the takeover too much and although some routes were down, overall they look fine - superficially of course. easyjet ended daily GVA at with the beginning of April rather than mid-April and hence the reduction but load factors improved (and hopefully yields) although prices went south in late April which is no surprise. Wizz loads seem generally okay if not spectacular as I believe their network wide load factor is a bit higher (May was 93%). Long-haul/medium-haul was excellent considering what went on although perhaps it might have been hoped that Qatar would gain more from the Dubai runway closure. Turkish you could say is not moving that much but hampered this year by the MAX problems. Pakistan is still below 2017 in terms of passenger figures but better load factors. Dublin, Shannon and Cork were affected by the rugby semi-final at the Ricoh with no doubt some light inbound and outbound legs at times. Pete Qatar up 25% but still a very average 55%. The increase no doubt due Dubai runway closure. Ramadan of course fell in May which suppressed some demand. Emirates was only down 11% which looks quite favourable against other UK airports. A quick calculation 455 per flight around 74% load factor. Air India on its much reduced schedule was 217 per flight at 85%. Copenhagen, Brussels and Zurich continue to disappoint but most core routes were okay. Pete |

I doubt that very much. Its usually the other way about. It can be frustrating if you have taken the time to post some information for it to be posted a few days later and I confess that I posted the Air India information about 3 weeks ago but would never criticise Crewmeal for not looking that far back as that is ridiculous to expect everyone to trawl through weeks of post and that is the crux of the problem with routes online, as it often appears they are posting some brand new information hot off the press but in fact only to find that some sado like me has probably searched a well known booking engine several weeks before and has already posted it. Back to even less interesting news - BHX was 80 today apparently and a totally underwhelming press release to go with it, which I am not even going to bother hyper-linking. I think under-stated is the best way I can describe it. Airport seemed to be coping well on the last two Sundays I have used it, outbound was superb from bag drop (5.15am), security and seating/eating although we had to wait a while as usual on the return yesterday for the airbridge to be linked (7 minutes seems a long time after a nearly 4 hours on a Thomas Cook A321) but bags within 30 minutes was not bad.

easyjet
Don't think this has been posted but easyjet Geneva now showing 4 flights on a Saturday for the whole season from 21/12 which is a first.
The flight is operated by easy Swiss 17.30-18.15. Still down on a couple of years ago as Monday - Wednesday remains just daily. Also no change to the reduction in Geneva in November when it drops to 2 a week until it reverts to daily mid-December. Pete |
