Route Development & Rumours

[Birmingham Aviation]

As Matt995 said TUI will be decreasing but will be using more Easyjet seats for holidays, Easyjet should be 5 A320-186RF and as mentioned on the Liverpool Easyjet thread an back up aircraft will be based at LPL instead of the current Manchester this summer, Ryanair is still down as 6 737-800 and 3 737-8200 with 5 rumoured routes which I’ll see if I can found out more tomorrow.

Yeah i know Ian mentioned a few weeks that they are rumoured to be Ryanair new routes on the system but nothing shown up.

They want to make a big deal about it like they did in 2022 with the press present

Hopefully we get an announcement within the next 3 weeks

Hopefully we get an announcement within the next 3 weeks

I would say the first week of November… Think it’s safe to say we won’t see any new German routes with Ryanair pulling a lot of capacity from all German airports

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

This week hopefully we get too see.

More Turkish aircraft changes for winter?
Pegasus S25 schedule?(updated Manchesters schedule already)
More Ryanair changes to its S25 schedule?
Tui airways S26 schedule
EasyJet holidays announcement?(Apparently another sale)

As already said we won’t see anything new with Tui as much as we might like it to be it will a carbon copy of previous years, Ryanair some of the new routes have been in the planning for almost two years but won’t be announced next week if I was to have a guess 30,31 October or 6,7 November

Next summer no flights at all to Vienna.Jet2 only Operate winter service.
Austrian have only announced Edinburgh so I wonder if they have ideas coming back .
Ryanair could operate the route?

 

[nwoody2001]

in fairness, the EDI route is only 1x weekly summer seasonal... not overly useful for anyone not wanting to spend a week in Vienna

3 weekly Edi-Vie.

Vienna is a business,connection route.
I’m just stunned that there’s no direct route during summer.Its actually stunned me

 

[gulftraveller]

I suspect EDI-VIE is for inbound Austrian tourists.

Even i think edi - vie is a business connection route.Wonder if Ian.F or bhx492 are stunned it hasn’t returned

 

[Ray Finkle]

Vienna would make a lovely year round route for Jet2 but I imagine they'd make much more money sending the aircraft to any one of their numerous holiday destinations during the summer months. Some of their other city break routes have paused for the peak school holiday period.

I'm not going to hold my breath for a return of Austrian any time soon so that really leaves a couple of weekly flights from Ryanair.

Lets hope that VIE is in their sights.

Incredible that we have no Austrian link. Only a few years ago we had Vienna and Gratz regularly.
Ryanair and EasyJet take note please!.

Ryanair are unlikely to operate Vienna as their considering reducing uk flights due to the budget announcement.

Only domestic flights at the moment so STN-EDI etc

Sorry my bad.I meant uk flights to Vienna

Not so. The press release is here and refers to cutting "capacity to/from UK airports" which doesn't mean just flights within the UK.

Michael O'Learys latest hissy fit doesn't make sense, he states that Ryanair will reduce capacity by up to 10% in 2025 but the budget announcement of £2 on short haul flights doesn't come into effect until
April 2026. The increase for 2025 was announced in the previous Conservative budget so must have been taken into consideration by Ryanair's existing planning.

Most likely O'Leary/Ryanair going down the "no such thing as bad publicity "route again

P. S. While every penny counts does two quid on a flight really deter anyone ? unlikely I would have thought.

PPS Somehow this Austrian thread has got sidetracked maybe a kindly mod can sort

Ryanair trot out the same press release after every budget. If passengers are prepared to pay, Ryanair will fly.

I’ll be honest I hope they ‘Austrian’ come back because it’s an ideal route realistically .Jet2 might be their for winter city breaks but I just think it’s crucial it comes back
