It is still very early days, but the preliminary report for Winter 2019/2020 has now been published.
The following are some snippets that I have seen - remember these are very early days and there will be many changes, cancellations and updates.
Alitalia - are once again rumoured to be introducing a daily Milan-Linate (LIN) service
American - will be a B767-300 to Philadelphia (PHL) until early January and then a B787-8
Anisec - this is a Vueling partner and are proposing a 5 times weekly service to Salzburg (SZG) from 19th December
Austrian - increase to daily to Vienna (VIE)
easyJet - possibly up to 15 based aircraft for the winter. This compares with 14 last winter and 17 this summer
El Al - twice weekly continues as per the summer
flybe - stay at 7 based aircraft. Increases of one per day on Paris (CDG), Dusseldorf (DUS) and Newquay (NQY)
Icelandair - goes daily with B757
KLM - increase to 6 per day
Lauda Motion - new route to Riga (RIX) on Tuesday and Saturday
Lufthansa - as already reported Munich (MUC) increases to 4 per day
Norwegian - new twice weekly to Bergen (BGO)
Pegasus - 5 times weekly to Sabiha Gokcen (SAW) continues from the summer programme
Qatar - already well published that they will be 3 times daily to Doha (DOH)
Ryanair - an increase in based aircraft from 8 to 14 with a lot of summer routes continued into the winter. (I wouldn't hold my breath for too long on this one!)
SAS - Aarhus (AAR) continues from summer
Spicejet - well they appear again as daily to Mumbai (BOM). With the demise of Jet Airways, and if they get the aircraft, I suppose it could happen
TAP Air Portugal - again another increase that has already been mentioned elsewhere - twice daily
United - continue with B767-400 as per summer
Virgin - plans to be operated daily, compared with 3 per week last year
IF all goes to plan then the potential increase in available seats over W18/19 is 17%. This will probably come down to nearer to 6% at the end of the day.
