So it looks like easyjet want to expand from Europe into the uk and easyjet Uk to Europe from Birmingham.Can see an away based route happening tbh.

Wizz look like they want to bolster there Birmingham expansion with an additional 50 extra slots I wonder where they look at.

Eurowings have requested extra slots .Guessing that is for Dusseldorf.

Indeed no slots applies for by Silkway, but interestingly Maersk Air Cargo has applied for a daily service!

Wizz air want to expand?
Eurowings applied for anything?
EasyJet Europe expansion?

Eurowings slots would just be Dusseldorf, it equates to 6 flights a day Monday-Friday (3 arrivals/3 departures), and 2 flights on a Sunday (1 arrival/1 departure)

I know wizz will want to expand

Seems Wizz is keen to grow at BHX, but alas slots applied for and rewarded done mean anything in their own right if they are not used….
