6E33 has been severely delayed every day this week Makes sense, surely with how much it’ll cost them in compensation (and lost bookings but difficult to quantify) they’ll consider scaling back and not running before they walk?

If/when these start, me and my friend intend on coming down from West Yorkshire to fly direct (for tourism), which I can’t imagine many others will be doing given how unfriendly the visa process is for tourists. With better visa rules/bigger diaspora the route would be a success, but I can’t see...

Sharm-El-Sheikh 1x weekly (Sat) and Hurghada 1x weekly (Sun) from Feb 2027 with Jet2, great news for the airport (Credit SeanM on X)

I’ll also be heading to Toronto next year (I’ll be coming down from West Yorkshire to fly from CWL). Triple win for me, New UK airport flown from - New Country - Can visit my family in Canada. Well done to all involved with getting the route

With the amount of slots held for Irish routes, they are clearly Ryanair routes and therefore I think it’s likely they’re trying to disguise their intentions on which routes they plan on opening. I for one really hope there will be a Milan route there, as that will save me the trek to MAN/STN 3...

Looks like it’s nailed on that there is 12 to knock off. Very worrying for UK aviation, and very sad for those working for the airline

Yes it’s for LBA (I wouldn’t have posted it otherwise), as far as I know it’s slots that have been applied for for S26, although this is not 100% accurate for what will be served it is a decent enough indicator

Ryanair have also unfortunately removed LBA-BVA from sale (Credit SeanM)

My first time looking at these reports ever so please correct me if I am wrong, but could this be the Ryanair expansion (or at least some Ryanair and some other airlines) that we’ve been hoping for? Many of these routes have been on a lot of wishlist so I hope it is all true.

I took it to mean Canada. Westjet have been named in SeanMs post about the new ACL coordination report, so maybe that could be it (I hope)

JED would cover religious pilgrimages, future tourism along the Red Sea, as well as the obvious connections they provide. I personally don’t think it’s a question as to whether the airport can support it, and more if Saudia wants to make the first move into LBA

Volotea not doing the UK much isn’t the biggest hurdle imo. If they want to test the UK waters then they may as well do it where there is less competition, strong incentives to do so (this is a complete assumption on my part please correct me if I’m wrong) as well as strong potential to expand

In many ways, CWL being a smaller airport could help Volotea, and vice versa, as there will be less competition so they can establish better, they can dip their toe properly into the UK market, and I’d imagine there would be fairly attractive incentives from the airport to attract them, and they...

Cancun, Amritsar and Delhi are all longer than Dubai by a reasonable margin, with Doha and Jeddah being similar albeit slightly shorter

He did but IIRC it was regarding regional Italian airports removing tax/charges so he was going to reward them with more flights. It’s a nice idea but I think it’s very unlikely that we’ll get any Italy routes other than Venice, Milan or Rome from FR in the near future

FR to somewhere Milan or Copenhagen would be a big win as far as I’m concerned

Pier 2 was looking good today when I taxiied in on EI208

I think both OSL and CPH are realistic routes that would benefit LBA, and anecdotally I myself have been across the Pennines twice in the past month to fly to either of these places that I would’ve sooner gone from LBA to

This is true, but they could still operate with another A321 or similar but of course whether it will happen is a different question entirely

SOF-MAN as a revenue segment or just as a refuelling stop?
