Ideal route for easyjet but they had a falling out with Madrid a while ago, no chance on Iberia Express

I forgot easyJet used to have a base in Madrid, I always wondered why they had so few routes from there.

Why do you think there’s no chance of IBX coming back?

Funnily enough, I noticed BHX on the IBX route map on their in-flight magazine when flying MAD-FCO last week. Not sure if they just forgot to remove it, but they dropped BHX 4 years ago now so it’s surprising.

I think IBX would do great now and I would love them back but I think that ship has sailed !

Bulgarian airline news site seems to suggest new route to Plovdiv from November 2024. One to watch out for.

A new airline opens Plovdiv Airport. It will connect the English city of Birmingham with Plovdiv. The flights will be operated by Ryanair once a week from the end of November 2024"The new line is possible thanks to the active communication of the airport team with the airline and the help of the Fund for the Development of Plovdiv Airport - the Southern Gate of Bulgaria," announced the executive director of Plovdiv Airport, Doychin Angelov.He thanks all the municipalities and legal entities that participate in the Fund and support the development of the airport."After we opened the airline to Manchester, the one to Birmingham is another English destination with which we fill the air connectivity map with the Bulgarian communities that live and work in England. Through it, tourists from the Birmingham region are also given the opportunity to visit Plovdiv and our winter resorts. The South Central region and Bulgaria as a whole deserve to be more and more accessible to the wonders and beauties that there are in our lands, and for which there are more and more people willing to

Is the plan still 3 maxs and 3 737s for summer or has that changed

 

[Jon Dempsey]

Just returned from AGP last night on FR2267.

Both this and the outbound flight, FR2165 on 02/04, seemed packed to the rafters.

Hi,

Does anybody know why the RK flights from BHX are not operated by G-RUK* aircraft? Also BHX is down to one 737 Max based. Will this be the case for the summer season?

Any answers gratefully received

Regards

Karl

To answer your first question about Ryanair UK, The flights themselves are still technically “Ryanair UK“ but they basically chartered Ryanair DAC aircraft to operate them due to 737-800 not being able to move over because of the Max delays .

Peak season the latest I heard was 4 of each type but obviously it could off changed from then.
