2017

[ethanegcc]

So unless I am very much mistaken, if we factor the useful list Ray has completed for us, it would appear that 2017 is looking at 42x new routes (again accepting that the Cluj and Larnaca links have started so late in 2016 that they are practically new for 2017...

could we make it to 50 new routes in the next few weeks?

How many of those are new destinations?

I make 11 of them are brand new destinations, so just over 25% of them

 

[58terminus]

it would appear that 2017 is looking at 42x new routes

Just to put a bit of perspective on it it equates to an average 15/16 extra departures a day.Take away
the lost routes it's a nett of 12/13.A welcome figure but I don't think ATC will be loosing any sleep.

Hi User002, welcome to the forum but just one question, why on earth did you choose this Profile name ??

You are going to have one fight on your hands to get anywhere close to User001, he is as near to royalty that we have on this forum, we almost have to bow when he logs onto the forum. 🤣

 

[User001]

That reminds me BrumX, you haven't swayed palm branches at me today to keep me cool in this heat, that's no way to treat royalty!

😗
