All 3 daily Frankfurt flights are now showing mainline from 1st June

They have been informed me that the schedule will be updated to include city airlines and mainline services. However, this is subject to change and the current short-haul schedule is being rewritten.

I hope so as I was offered a role there last week. However, the one daily flight to Frankfurt in the evening makes commuting there impractical. I have been informed by a friend that there will be more strikes in the near future because the crew will have the half of their available work they...

Well with Lufthansa group shutting down Lufthansa cityline does that mean we will see the equipment change or cancelled flights https://www.euronews.com/business/2026/04/16/germanys-lufthansa-to-shut-regional-cityline-unit-amid-fuel-costs-and-strikes-pressure

The expected based units for next year is limited to nine aircraft until the arrival of the 737-10. These will be based at Stansted, Dublin and Milan/BGY which will free up the 8200’s for Ryanair’s commencement of the phase-out of the older 737-800 fleet. So I wouldn’t get too excited maybe a...

Given Ryanair has already commenced selling winter 2026/2027 flights, the summer season appears to be confirmed. However, there is potential for further developments. The crew have rejected their pay increase offer and Ryanair is refusing to proceed.

Actually, the Lufthansa downgrade is even more impactful because the aircraft type of the three daily flights is different. Two of them are on the CRJ900 and only one is on the A320. This means there is a big drop in capacity of 50% but could be wrong because last summer it was all mainline ….

From a crew perspective it’s a nightmare because they expect you to do full bar service, duty free service, scratch cards in around 15 minutes…. But it’s actually makes more money on the buy on board sales then a flight to Poland I’ve done flights where the whole crew made over thousand euros...

This is primarily a matter of limitations and efficiency. Flying to smaller airports requires a choice between passengers and baggage or refuelling at another airport, typically Bergamo. However, their close flight schedules make this process particularly challenging and results in crew working...

Lucky it was a very experienced crew; it had two No. 1s onboard.

Is it early to talk about winter 2026? There’s a reason EasyJet has based an A320neo’s 😉 🇨🇻

If Tuesday’s BVA 4 sector schedule is accurate, I wouldn’t want to be the crew. Assuming no delays or slot changes, which are highly probable, the crew will start at 07:20 am and finish at 18:50, giving them a 11-hour and 30-minute duty.

Currently tomorrow from Belfast but they currently messing around with the aircraft as we speak…

Crew typically receive advance notice of new aircraft types, usually about six weeks in advance, as they have access to load factors, aircraft registrations, and crew information. Barcelona and Gran Canaria
