All the best airports have multiple carriers offering similar if not the same routes, but the competition stimulates growth. How are the brands attracted - firstly by offering exactly the same concessions to them as the incumbents. From the outside it appears rightly or wrongly TUI and BE are being protected from competition by Peel in exchange for their commitment to the airport, but this in turn is stifling and prospective growth with new/old carriers. A KLM 2 daily AMS (like at DTV!!! ) would wipe the floor with BE - what’s more Peel know Ryanair can co exist with Easy from their experiences at LPL. |
Flybe now showing flights up to mid June 2019 for the following.
Amsterdam - Daily Alicante - 3xweekly Belfast City - 6xweekly Dublin - Daily Jersey - Daily Paris (CDG) - 2xweekly Faro - 2xweekly Malaga - 2xweekly Newquay - 3xweekly Palma not showing as yet however was added later previously. A further phase with new schedule enhancements is expected to be announced in the coming weeks. I wonder due to new deliveries, if there will be a shared aircraft with Cardiff to gain a little expansion. Against what the naysayers expected |

The Childrens Air Ambulance have plans for a new hangar to be built later the year to be situated alongside Hangar 3.
There are also plans for a larger hangar opposite Hangar 3, on the other side of the freight apron, to be large enough to hold two B 767s... |
Loads of Ryanair planes taking off and landing this week apparently. Presume it's pilot training.

Further to my post 199, Hanger 3a planning application has now been approved by the council for the Childrens Air Ambulance. Work to start soon.

Along with an extension to the Terminal and 3 gate bridges .
|
Have they stated where the funding is coming from for the terminal and gate bridges?
|
Regarding these so called proposed 3 gate bridges, are we referring to Air Bridges? |

July and August PAX showing not insignificant falls compared to last year. I suspect Wizz loads may be down.

Interesting as all AGP-DSA-AGP sectors I've been on between June-September this year were at 100% capacity. I can't comment on FAO/ALC/PMI. |

Yes. The request states for a mixture. So air bridges and step bridges, the latter being what are already used. They will certainly need them in use for next summer as well as to show proof that they are able to accommodate any further expansion in the near future - either from current airlines or new operators. I believe they currently have 3 step-bridge gates and one ground level gate area. So that's only 4 boarding gates with a potential of at least 5 being needed for first wave morning departures next summer alone. I don't believe Swissport have buses at DSA which would be the only alternate option. Boarding from one gate area and then busing passengers onto remote stands?
The mind boggles who's idea it was to not have an airbridge on the alocated ' large aircraft stand ' |

Although lots can change, next summers schedule could possibly be the busiest ever for DSA. Wizzair has new routes to BUD and DEB as well increased frequencies on many existing routes, namely KTW which is going daily for most part of this period at the moment. TUI with a 3rd based 737 aircraft and a weekly 787 flight to SFB. Then there's Flybe who will release their "finalised" summer 19 schedule in the next few weeks. There's definitely a few gaps im the schedule to fill with a new route or additional frequencies on an existing route(s) if they see fit. |
