I think I am well versed with the facts, but thanks for the heads up all the same.

if u look close enough on the proposed plans morrisons is still where it is, just that the airport is goin to use all the space between the current terminal and the supermarket, seem the 'new' airport building will almost back onto to morrisons.

malaga
 

anyone heard any rumours of who ight take over from monarxh on the winter malaga run?

Blackpool-Malaga
 

Jet2 run 5 days a week from March 2007 leaving at lunchtime.

I think Monarch drop Blackpool, but continue to run from Man instead over Winter

HOW Well are BLK routes doing
 

weather it be jet2 or ryainair how well are they doing anyone flew on a flight From BLK if so how full was it

also hows BLK -LONDON STANSTED doing

thanks

Don't know the breakdown by operator, but the CAA stats for the pax numbers through Blackpool in July 2006 are:

Dublin 9258
Alicante 2393
Gerona 10259
Murcia 2492
Malaga 4769
Palma 4040

Hope this helps.

Typical loads in July for BLK were around 80% accross all routes. STN is fine, however the times make certain sectors on certains days comemrcially unattractive which naturally reflects in the loads.

Generally BLK is doing well and on target for c1m passengers in 2007.

Are Ryanair pulling the gerona flights as been trying to book for november or march and not having any luck, just says flights are either full or not scheduled to fly, bit odd as they were advertising them cheap on their website until feb 07

BLK-GRO with Ryanair over the winter (nov-mar) operated 4 x weekly, Mo, We, Fr, Su. SO if you try and book a day the flight doesnt operate it will say nothings available.

CHeck your dates are one of the days above.

New Routes
 

Seems that Phil M from JetToo was in BFS earlier this week talking about doubling the frequency to BLK and LBA 3/07. Heard he's got more BLK expension plans for BLK lined up. Guess I'll put my CV in yet again!!:hmm: still, at least they don't charge :D :D like Ryanair :mad: or I'd be broke:{

Doubling the frequency to LBA? Surely 4 a day would not be viable with 733's!

Thanks gareth. Have tried booking again tonight with more success with same dates i wanted this morning, got a whole list of dates available when looking, but couldnt get it this morning, did same process of booking , maybe a systems problem, (or me!!!haha!). Thanks anyway:ugh: :ugh: :ugh:

* just to add tried booking for feb and march does say no flights and I used a wide date range to check. seems flights have been dropped

* just checked on ryanairs low fares table , last flight bookable is 31jan

Surely BLK - GRO cannot be dropped after Jan. This route has load factors around 80% even during the winter. Is some re jigging of the timetable taking place i.e moving from an evening departure to a morning departure. Can anyone confirm whats happening to this route one way or another?

Regards

Calm down everyone. Ryanair have taken off sale flights to Girona from a number of airports during this period including Paris, Turin, Verona etc. This would suggest that its something to do with the booking system etc. GRO is a very profitable route from the UK so I'm pretty sure that you haven't lost your flights.;)

Unless of course thet've fallen out with Gerona over landing fees and this is another of the bully tactics employd previously (Brussels) to get airport to comply?:confused:

As i understand, they are rejigging some schedules ex GRO for this period and BLK should be back on sale shortly.

Turin was axed ages ago and Verona was operated from GRO only during BGY maintenance closure.

can book liverpool 2 gerona for next march, and doncaster sheffield, stanstead but not east midlands. doncaster has it down as new route! certainly not gettin in a flap, i do ope the route stays as an outsider looking in hope blackpool does grow and more routes are started. busier it gets more jobs, etc...

as ive said before i know great many people that would fly from blk that travel to man or lpl.

I wonder if terminal will get a repaint in jet 2 colours,?
