Birmingham: EasyJet Flights, New Routes & Base Updates

[Birmingham Aviation]

St Petersburg is in Russia !
We already have Athens
No airport apart from LHR has Sydney or Japan
Cairo - looking promising 🙂

Surely easyJet wouldn’t serve Cairo from Birmingham?

Gotta be Egypt air?

Espargos still on the cards?

Google AI and chatGPT did its magic earlier and says that new routes will be Budapest and Salzburg

To be honest I agree with that as its routes that will have competition and great demand

Other routes would be ideal are Madrid and Copenhagen

The only issue with that is that RYR serves both routes SZG and BUD. EZY and RYR tend not to go head to head on lower frequency routes (i,e. not the high volume routes such as ALC or PMI). At BUD RYR is dominant. At SZG there is no repetition of routes between the two airlines.

Just to point out easyjet served Salzburg in 2022 I believe and wizz air have just axed Budapest so which leaves for 6 weekly flights to the Hungarian capital.

I know bhx wants to build a sustainable city tourism industry

Yes true enough. BHX already has FR and EXS on BUD, as at MAN, where, I believe, EZY dropped BUD. As BHX492 points out, SZG is not as big a market as it was (more flights to INN). I think EZY will go elsewhere from BHX.

Didn’t they fly to Lyon at some point and then drop it? Would be nice to see it back.

I would most like to see Lyon, Basel and Hamburg, and some of the old Flybe destinations like La Rochelle and Biarritz…

but knowing our luck we’ll probably get Athens, Krakow, Turin, Cape Verde, Croatia, and Venice…

Lyon loads were poor

Going back to the excellent summary by Severn a few weeks ago, the next logical routes would come from

REU, PSA, IBZ, MUC, SPU, BJV, PFO, NAP, MAH, CHQ

For winter?

For winter?

No Ant, REU, IBZ, BJV, MAH and CHQ are summer only routes.
So many other gateways EasyJet could choose that are low hanging fruit...ZRH being one of them.
My mates have been from LTN to ZRH three times already this year and twice more already booked. Swiss are just so godamn expensive

Suprised Zurich isn’t already served from Bhx especially with Swiss going 5 weekly this winter.

Any other thoughts for the winter Karl?
