Ryanair

[BHX492]

I definitely see changes are coming to the schedule, but having only 2.5 operational aircraft out of eight on Tuesday and Wednesday looks really light. I get they offer winter roster options , and I know they offer a full 3-month winter schedule – either November to January or January to March – or the pattern of 4 on (Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday) and 3 off (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday). Even with those winter options, 2.5 operational aircraft feels unbelievably low for those midweek days.

Tuesdays and Wednesdays are always the quieter days at bhx especially January and February into March.

Still no Warsaw

 

[Matt995]

very very early days for the Winter Ryanair schedule, there will be plenty of adjustments between now and October 26th, so don't read too much into it yet!! A few routes like Berlin, not yet announced for Winter.

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

Berlin is 3 weekly

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

From what I can gather we have a mixture of 7/8 aircraft with 3 or 4 left spare Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays.

may well depend on how many new 737 Maxs aircraft Boeing are able to deliver to Ryanair in the next 10 months or so & how many times O'Leary falls out with the UK!!

Wonder if we can expect any RUK flights back at bhx soon?

I doubt it very much, unless O'Leary decides to do a U-turn and spend some money, and register more aircraft in the UK, and thus keeps the CAA happy!!! UK is not a priority for him at present, he's more interested in expanding in Europe, with all the red tape and Brexit issues in the UK

 

[nwoody2001]

O'Leary may dislike Brexit and UK politics, but he also hates offering a free pass to the likes of Easyjet and Jet2 who are currently carrying those pax to the likes of Morrocco ...hopefully things change soon!

Some of these ever changing luggage restrictions and charges are very irritating.

It would be nice if Ryanair add city breaks across Europe for this upcoming winter and next summer season.
Vienna,Rome,Cologne,Marseille,Podgorica,Athens,Warsaw.All would be profitable in my eyes

 

[mullion]

Have they got the aircraft available as they have a huge network of bases to cover and Boeing don`t have enough aircraft to deliver

Cologne has never worked from BHX, several airlines have tried it, without success. Rome now we have 2 airlines on the route, is not really needed, Podgoricia is only going to be a summer flight at best, and honestly why are you obsessed with a Warsaw flight for? Are you desperate to visit Warsaw?

Because it was route that was used quite frequently,Wizz operated it for many years and got axed because of aircraft issues to its Airbus collection.
Ryanair also operated it for many years but has been axed since Oct 24

The answer to your question is because it’s a city break venue and a popular for tourists business and connection.

Well if both Wizz and Ryanair axed Warsaw then they must have had more profitable options elsewhere, also over time I would guess Brexit has dented demand on Eastern Europe routes in particular.
Meanwhile maybe the increases we have seen with Saudi and Turkish etc are a result of the increasing demand from further afield.

Swings and roundabouts maybe

True.Maybe a route for Jet2 to consider as a Christmas winter break
