Orly now bookable for summer. Drops to 2x weekly but great to see it continue

I was hoping to see an increase (did it used to be daily?) but very glad to see the route remain, particularly in these uncertain times.

Vueling started 6 Orly-UK routes last autumn, BHX being one.

Looking at their Winter 21/22 to Summer 22 (April onwards) schedule compared i can see:

BHX - down from 3pw to 2pw
EDI - down from 3pw to 2pw
CWL - up from 2pw to 3pw
BFS - was 2pw, unbookable for summer
NCL - remains at 2pw
GLA - remains at 2pw

Interesting that CWL is the only one to see an increase, presumably due to no direct competition.

If memory serves I believe it was 6x weekly but am happy to be corrected?

Hopefully a route to keep ticking over in the short term with growth when the time is right.

Talking of Vueling, does anybody know how the ORY service is performing now that we are near normal again after Covid ?

This is good news, I was dreading reading a post saying that the route was being stopped like some other UK regional airports.

Great to see this route continue and our 2nd Vueling destination.

Not BHX news, but could be why we've seen frequency reduced this summer.

I will pop this snippet of information in the main Vueling thread Coathanger as other forumers from other airports might be interested.

Is that correct mods, was I listening last month when this was discussed to be the best way forward ?

By all means @Brum X

Only posted it in here because I remember BHX frequency being reduced. Have any other UK airports seen frequencies to ORY reduced?

I am not 100% correct but I think most UK airports have been axed all together. However I think Vueling have issues on its Barcelona route as well, citing capacity issues or shortage of aircraft/cabin crew but I know Barcelona has also been reduced from most airports.
