Presumably this will fit in as a 3rd rotation on one aircraft in the middle of the day although I can’t see any obvious gaps rather than signalling a 9th based and more increases to come?

Edit: didn’t look hard enough. Reus Mon & Fri AM next year so fits in after that.

Hurghada is listed but not onsale

I was always under the impression that Egypt would grow. All be it cautiously it's growing but none the less one new route.

Wonder if it'll be a weekly flight or 2 weekly.

Starting wonder if the Bristol Hurghada was a mistake on website announcement don’t Jet2 usually load a route by now after they announce them. Been over 2 weeks since they announced the route. I know it’s not until next winter but rest seem to be loaded and they have added Bristol Bergerac since.

 

[Marko1]

I don’t think they have ever announced it have they though if you read the media report on the Bristol airport website when they announced Bergerac there was mention of more to follow

Ah I see it now. Yes it certainly is mentioned but I guess we have to wait and see. Personally I think more than that is coming maybe other new routes or increased frequencies on others - for example jet2 has no flights to either italy( other than Verona) and Croatia .

Is that possible without basing a 9th aircraft in summer ?

 

[Marko1]

Not all of the eight aircraft based are fully utilised particularly during the week but I wonder whether a A321 may make an appearance ? ( pure speculation tho)

Ah okay I thought the 8 based were near fully utilised in summer. Would be great if we did get a 321 Neo though be our fourth at Bristol,

8 are used everyday apart from Tuesdays when it’s 7.

Wouldnt that add complications to crew type ratings? I would imagine there are no Airbus rated pilots at BRS.

True but eventually they will have to get jet2 Airbus pilots it’s a matter of when not if as they are planning to replace the 737 eventually completely

Ah thank you for the information

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

BRS, like a few others, will remain 800. a321 deliveries means displacement of the 800’s.

Lots of extra flights being added tonight including Corfu, Palma , Alicante and Malaga and larnaca. Agadir however goes winter seasonal
