If Mytilene has disappeared for S22 my sister and hubbie will be upset!. They have it booked for S21 and go every summer, although not this year of course. Originally Monarch customers on that route until their collapse.

Very early days yet so hopefully just sorting out the schedule. One to keep an eye on though.

As the discussion has moved away from Jet2 and become more of a wish list as to who could fly where I've moved it, click the link below to continue

Birmingham Airport - General Thread

No chance of any French Regional routes by AFR or HOP Not even Lyon LYS in the future when things get back to normal ? They served this route in the past I think but they were also in competition with Flybe ??

Jet2 have cancelled Mytilene (Lesbos) from BHX according to a family member. Booked for late June 2021. More to follow i fear.

Yet another route added to the unserved list.

I'd like to say that it was a typical BHX one season wonder but this one never even got started.

I notice how it's still available from BRS, a base that isn't even up and running yet!

 

[Ray Finkle]

Nice has also gone and pretty much from the whole of the Jet2 network.

At least other airports have an alternative option on the route, BHX however.....!!

BHX corporate appear to have sunk into a coma!

No surprise really about Mytilene, its never been popular from Birmingham, guess Jet 2 were taking a gamble with it, I can only see Airtours in 1995, and Thomas Cook in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019 that have operated it once a week in summer.. Better to cancel the flights, and replace them with a destination that will sell!

I think they need to unfurlough the route team before it's too late. It seems like they are sitting idle, they need to be negotiating and getting out there, new routes aren't just going to fall in their lap.

Or they are being cautious in the approach? Looking at the wider picture of some routes, after all they have the data. I’d rather then be cautious then doing a gamble approach like Wizz Air.

The less flights, the less money coming in for the airport, how long can they afford to be cautious. I think Wizz have been hugely positive for the airport, they have introduced routes to Birmingham which other carriers never did and all their routes are popular. They were also one of the few carriers who continued to fly and are adding to their Birmingham network.

You seem to forget that they are withdrawing from major cruise ports, cities which may take longer time to recover or very niche routes. The bread and butter bucket and spade routes have stayed, most, better then 2019 levels for 2021. They are classes as cash cows, they print endless money. They allows niche routes to be served.

I think we have our wires crossed but I was referring more to the airport needing to do more to retain and attract routes. It is of course a shame that Mytilene has been dropped by Jet2 but hopefully the rest of their network will stay. In regards to Wizz with exception of Poznan I am not aware of any routes which have been lost from the Birmingham network.

Murcia has been cut and now only operates from the last week in July until the first week in Sept.

Budapest will not operate from April to September.

Sofia was also dropped but that was to do with a reduction in the base there and a number of other routes were also cut.

 

[jfy1999]

Seems this is part of a more general route cull. If further culls are forthcoming then I suspect BHX may lose some of the destinations on this list.

[Sherburnflyer92]

To be expected. They are probably re shaping for 2021. Following where the markets go. Don't forget they run a holiday business. They are unsure how some of those destinations will look next summer. Hoteliers, resorts, suppliers and business partners on the ground. Some of those routes culled where new for 2020, others such as GRO which I'm surprised at. EDI-NAP too.

VCE we know and has being discussed.

Lots of consolidated jet2 flights today, Newcastle & East mid flights are combined with ours, must be very low loads for a Saturday

Loads are dire - not worth operating !

 

[Nethercote2019]

I was wondering about that and If they would keep flying these routes at all in early Jan/Feb
