Route Development & Rumours

[Jerry]

Well considering that many of the new airlines they've attracted lately are connected to Lufthansa in some way, Eurowings previously and then Sun Express makes me wonder if it's an airline connected to Lufthansa in some way either owned or through Star Alliance.

Swiss or Brussels ?

 

[Jerry]

Both would be more of a returning airline than new i'd say especially Brussels.

 

[Marko1]

That’s true - I guess it’s wait and see

 

[MrFenner]

The return of Flybe!

 

[forest1979]

Hope not Flybe.. I’m going Swiss or Turkish..

The return of Flybe!

Flybe wouldn’t be a new airline, so I don’t expect it to be them.

Turkish would be a good start, but we have to wait and see.

 

[Marko1]

How about blue air ?

 

[CWL94]

Looks like it’s Swiss!

 

[BRSregular]

Swiss to Zurich. Just announced

 

[BRSregular]

Just one flight per week though, on a Saturday. Starts 4 Feb.

 

[tpm]

Once per week?!

 

[Marko1]

At least it’s a return of a past airline - good news and something to build on - think positive

New route: Swiss Bristol to Zurich Winter Seasonal starting from February 3rd 2023 at 1 weekly Saturday flight. Arrives 13:00 departs 13:45

Austrian Airlines next?

 

[MrFenner]

Guessing that’s BRS throwing more money at LH Group to “try” things…

But once a week to ZRH is very strange indeed.

However it’ll be lovely to see the A220 at BRS in the Swiss livery.

A 1 weekly flight is better than no flight. In route development, the majority of the battle is to get the airline/route to start in the first place. Usually far easier to then fight the case for expansion. Might oaks and acorns springs to mind

 

[Marko1]

I reckon we may see them more if this works

 

[Scottie Dog]

Correct me if I'm wrong but that appears to be a non-scheduled flight number. Possibly a winter-sports charter being partly sold direct to the passengers?

Possible that a ski holiday company has a set allocation of seats so they've released the rest for flight only maybe? Still better than nothing!
