That was posted in mid-December in this thread, posts #249 and 250. The press release has taken a while to come out. I note other Jet2 airports have similar announcements, albeit the BRS one is modest compared with some.

TUI were going to do a winter season using their own aircraft to Keflavik (for Reykjavik) two or three years ago against easyJet. I can't remember whether they actually did. Nothing shown for TUI this winter or next.

easyJet's winter season finishes on 24 March this year - resumes from early November - so Jet2's three flights from 30 March don't clash with easyJet and they extend the Iceland season by two or three weeks.

Tui offers Iceland holidays for feb 2022 and feb 2023 using Tui flights every weds and sun. Having been there a few years ago I can imagine there be plenty of demand

Thanks Marko. I only checked the January departures for those seasons, assuming that any winter service would include that month. So that leaves three carriers on the Keflavik route albeit two are for very short seasons.

No worries , I’m quite tempted to go back to Iceland soon - lovely place and a choice of 3 airlines to go with

Jet2 re - releasing Geneva flights over the Easter period every day

BRS departure page showing Jet2 LS2177 final boarding for Bergen with 1420 std. Does anyone know in what connection that is? Hurtigruten perhaps?

 

[Red Flyer]

It’s for hurtigruten cruises.

 

[TheLocalYokel]

Many thanks, Red Flyer.

Looking at peak summer this year , jet2 is only using 5 aircraft on Tuesdays , 6 on all the other days . Any idea whether that’s intentional ?

Downtime for maintenance on aircraft one would suspect.

Back in the older times of Jet2 (pre heading further south then EMA) - Jet2 would have quite a number of aircraft not doing that much Tuesday/Wednesday - maintenance etc. Also both them days they would operate "day time" (as such) flights to Cyprus, Canaries, Turkey etc again for maintenance in the evening and through the night.

Gone are those days now - the programme is full on for most bases.

The expansion continues tomorrow with the arrival of the fourth based aircraft.

Where are the frequencies getting increased to?

 

[Marko1]

So far I can see Palma, Malta , skiathos , Tenerife , dalaman , faro , lanzarote , Antalya plus the return of Malaga during peak summer 23

 

[Marko1]

Some highlights include daily Tenerife and Dalaman from July 2023

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

Daily flights from BRS to AYT and DLM in the 2nd "normal" season is pretty impressive.
