We all know what happened last time a Star Alliance carrier tried to take on easyJet...

As with most things in aviation, only time will tell.

Hopefully they can supplement each other.

I presume you all know of the new Ryanair route to Poland starting in Oct. Destination has an unpronounceable name.

Lufthansa, BA and Turkish on the horizon too. Just rumours though.

Great to see my old stomping ground bouncing back so well.

LH to MUC
TK to IST

BA to ??

Any ideas where Kraktoa ?

I believe that Bydgoszcz is pronounced “bide-gosh” but I’m not 100% sure.

Could be Cityflyer again? So maybe Mallorca or Florence or maybe a ski charter to somewhere like Chambery?

When you look at where Turkish fly to and are looking at as new routes into Europe, I find it staggering that Bristol isn’t in that list. Passenger numbers and capture area (South Wales and wider southwest) surely make is one of the big untapped markets?

Should have also said that I wouldn’t have guessed Aegean to start up even with 10 guesses!

New Airlines to BRS in 2023

4x new airlines are expecting to start operating to BRS in 2023 (so far)!

Below are the number of weekly departures based on a week in August 2023:

SWISS - 3x weekly to ZRH
(Mo, We, Fr) - E290 (op by Helvetic)

SunExpress - 3x weekly to AYT
(Tu, We, Th) - B738/B38M

Aegean - 2x weekly to ATH
(Mo, Fr) - A20N

Corendon - 2x weekly to AYT
(We, Sa) - B738/B38M

Turkish airlines have listed a series of destinations it is interested in flying to. Sadly Bristol is not one of them. I wonder why?

The list in question. Indeed.. surprised Bristol isn't there when you look at some of the other places on the list and where TK flies already. But one assumes TK have their reasons and their route planners know what they're doing!

 

[forest1979]

Someone should drop them a ‘curious’ email as to why..? Surely a big untapped market? Good on Newcastle I guess. They have a good mix of scheduled state carriers..

Looking at the Bristol Airport Initial Slot Coordination report from the ACL website, there are a few new routes (some of which we know about, some of which we don't). The new routes that haven't been announced may never be announced, if the airlines change their mind.


Aegean - 2x weekly to ATH

SWISS - 3x weekly to ZRH

SunExpress - 3x weekly to AYT

Corendon - 2x weekly to AYT


easyJet - up to 424x weekly departures in S23. New route in S23 - 2x weekly to NBE (although LYS may have been dropped in S23)

Jet2 - up to 97x weekly departures in S23. AGP and CHQ new destinations in S23, drops LEI, ADB and MJT

Ryanair - up from 131x weekly departures in S22 to 177x in S23. New routes in S23 - BZG, VCE, OPO and MRS, drops MXP

TUI - Similar sized operation to last year ~80x weekly departures, B787 will be based operating 10-11x departures per week. NBE is a new destination in S23, drops BJV

 

[Marko1]

Great summary - beat me to it Severn. Some additional points are that Loganair , Blue Islands and Aurigny have been granted extra slots for next summer plus Emerald airways have applied for more slots ( airport code zzj ).

Article in the Bristol Post today saying that direct flights from Bristol to Tirana are available. Quoted as weekly on a Wednesday with prices just over £80. Have I missed something or is this another case of mistaken reporting
