Lauda

When was the last time we had a new airline?

Vienna bookable on the Ryanair website starting October 29 and operates 3x weekly (Tue/Thu/Sat) so complements Eurowings' current schedule (Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun).

Flight times
VIE 1740 BHX 1905
BHX 1930 VIE 2245

 

This is great news....

it may mean the end of Eurowings on the route but with this route being bookable through both Ryanair and Laudamotion, it should increase the profile of the route and bring in further pax....

great news....

 

Blimey, didn't see that one coming.

Eurowings loads haven't exactly set the world on fire so it will be an interesting one to watch.

 

The one to watch is RYANAIR since they are exploring the possibility of creating a low-cost version of IAG. Domination can end badly. Ryanair Sun becoming the new Buzz, LaudaMotion? Who is next? Will we see Greybull Holidays resurrect Monarch?

 

More routes in the coming months?

great to finally see a new airline starting ops at BHX!

Interesting choice Vienna, as the flights are bookable via the Ryanair website, will the take up be better than Eurowings?

And how will Eurowings react? I hope it doesnt see them leave, but cant help but think these new flights might mean the end to their flights?

 

Awesome, blimey I might need to lie down. Its too much for me all this excitement.

Im assuming they will operate from the old T2 with Ryanair.

Hopefully the start of a new low cost era at BHX ??

Apart from Vienna at the moment they only have bases at Dusseldorf and Berlin which ends in April and Stuttgart begins at the end of the month..

 

Unless BHX is to become a new base ?

 

When was the last time we had a new airline?

Primera.....I’ll leave it there!

 

Unless BHX is to become a new base ?

Never really thought of that, I guess it's not beyond Ryanair to create another UK AOC for their subsidiary.

If they don't use the Eurohub they might have parking space to do so if they wanted.

 

Vienna now bookable for S20, still 3x weekly on Tue, Thur and Sat.

I would hope and expect so.How demoralising if an airline about to start a route indicated they had decided to pull it after one winter season.
Lets wait and see. Are Eurowings continuing with the route?.

 

I think Lauda (aka Ryanair) are good for the route and will generate new traffic which will hopefully benefit Eurowings too who have stuck at it despite very average loads, the demand is there !

In the same way Flybe did a few years ago when they dropped all of those routes.......

 

I’m wondering if this route does well if Austrian Airlines will then start at Vienna flight at all? But happy at last we are finally getting a route to Vienna but let’s hope Luada (Austrian Ryanair) does well and isn’t anything like Ryanair Ryanair.

We have had Eurowings on Vienna for a few years !

How many months do we reckon he was talking about?

6 obviously. Expect an announcement of new routes for next summer. If not the statement is pointless waffle.
