Route Development & Rumours

Yes you should if you want to find some extra Freebird charters

For some good news about Turkey maybe you should be looking on the beach!!

Is that cryptic or should we looking at On the Beach ?

Yes you should if you want to find some extra Freebird charters

Looking at the TUI timetables for July Antalya is 5 x weekly and Dalaman 5 x weekly. From the timings only the Saturday Antalya appears to be operated by an away-based aircraft. Izmir was announced as a new TUI route for summer 2020 but it's not yet in the TUI web timetable.

easyJet is still showing up to 4 x weekly to Dalaman and 3 x weekly to Bodrum next summer with nothing for Antalya.

Thomas Cook had 5 x weekly to both Dalaman and Antalya this summer so not all that has yet been replaced...........unless the Freebird flights mentioned are for other tour operators or they are for TUI and have yet to appear in TUI's web timetable.

I noticed a free bird Antalya on the On the Beach website. I’d assumed it was the same as the TBA for tui on the sat. If they are different flights then that’s good news

There is a Freebird Antalya flight and a Dalaman Flight, FH700/701 & FH800/801 (On the Beach)

Fri to dalaman. Sat to Antalya. Good news indeed

Looks like Transavia France are to announce a new route to Bristol from Montpellier.

Bristol is marked on that map as a current destination plus the press release states that they plan to fly to 20 exclusive Mediterranean destinations. I think the map is misleading

Nice new airline for Bristol!

 

[Severn]

I think Marko1 is correct, the map has probably been released by the airport, not Transavia.
The map is actually showing the current destinations (BRS - easyJet, CPH - Norwegian, DUB - Aer Lingus etc) and the new routes all seem to be to Southern Europe and North Africa. False alarm?!

 

[TheLocalYokel]

With easyJet's 2 x weekly Montpellier from June again next summer I can't see room for another airline on the route.

Probably more chance this side of the Severn

Einn nýr áfangastaður í Evrópu

Flugáætlun Icelandair fyrir árið 2020 liggur nú fyrir með flugi til 40 áfangstaða. Áætlað er að einn nýr áfangastaður í Evrópu verði kynntur á næstu vikum.

Bloomin heck, Jerry. I didn't know you were fluent in Icelandic.

 

[Marko1]

I was thinking the same LY. Incidentally I can’t see any mention of any suggested destinations in the article. Not sure how brs or edi has been concluded from the article.

Nope! Google translate! Lol

Not concluding anything just saying BRS may be a possibility even if remote.

 

[Marko1]

It’s worth a wish I suppose. Well done on the translating. I found Icelandic very hard to even attempt when we were recently there

EDI didn't come from the article it's the fact Icelandair have applied for slots there in S20 so more of a hint that it could well be EDI that's the new Euro route.

BRS AYT 3 per week. Flight days sunday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Due to start 3rd may.
Nice to see this route back In the main it was a Thomas cook route.

Apparently this is on behalf of On The Beach.
