No.

But I’m intrigued. Where do you hear this info?

 

[mullion]

It was on Alpha5 Facebook but has now been completely removed so don`t know anymore

I’m guessing it was just rumours then. Maybe one day something will happen.

 

[mullion]

Yes until tyres hit tarmac

Got to bear in mind Hi Fly Malta/Nice Air may not operate as they can't use a EU registered airline to operate due to the bilateral in place - has to be either Icelandic or British airlines only..
KLM may be a bit hamstrung with a further cap on movements at Amsterdam recently announced

 

[mullion]

Amsterdam looks real mess and have been told to reduce flights by a large ammount and will take levels back 2014 levels

A few developments to watch out for - all according to SPD_travels on Twitter

Is Geneva in addition to Brussels or a switch from it?

 

[Scottie Dog]

It's a switch.

A new route starts at Manchester tonight, in the shape of Norwegian to Trondheim. As much as extra capacity on existing routes is often welcome, it’s always nice to see an unserved destination crossed off the list too.

I’d read somewhere that Juneyao are looking at a Manchester route? Does anyone know if there is anything to this?

Before covid they were to start a route to Shanghai via Helsinki so it could be this. Otherwise it could be student charter flights.

I don't see any reference to Juneyao in your logs for the 4th & 6th of September Scottie, so didn't the flights operate? Whether any of the rest will turn up remains to be seen.
