Route Development & Rumours

[HPsauce]

I know it’s early days before a new season comes up but what are the aims of Winter 2026 for BHX

So far we’ve got
Copenhagen,Sharm el sheikh,Hurghada with jet2

Agadir with easyJet with Inverness ,Nice going year round

Ryanair Tirana,Warsaw going year round

I’m just thinking wide out of the box.I know someone mentioned on here that the airports or Ryanair’s aim in Europe was Eastern airports so for example Poland,Romania,Hungary

Easyjet was I think sun beach leisure city breaks Ski breaks so for example Sal,Porto,Funchal,Copenhagen,Budapest,Vienna

Much will depend on the jet aviation fuel situation with the ongoing situation in the Middle East.
As you will be aware consolidations could be quite common for the time being to max out fuel.
It's very much a watch this space situation for the time being.

Given the government have announced today a bank holiday Sunday that airlines are temporarily allowed to consolidate or cancel flights without losing slot rights even Stevie Wonder could see the way things are heading. Retention of existing routes is the name of the game for the forseable and looking for new routes pretty pointless we are more likely to see reduction or route swops e.g. less Turkey more Western Med .

Rumours on Pprune that emirates could be cutting the A380 to the B77W .Any idea if true

Seems re-introduction of the 77W has been pushed back to the 1st June anyway!
