Are these 5/6 rumoured routes set for bhx and Ryanair only or other airlines at bhx?

It’s expected to be a repeat of the Ryanair strategy seen in 2022. It will likely be a formal announcement of new routes, like BHX-TIA, BHX-CIA, and BHX-SZG, even though they have been available for sale for some time plus the two other destinations. They'll also highlight a capacity increase on existing routes like Alicante, Bergamo, and Kraków, just as they did with the 2022 announcement that featured two additional based aircraft for the following year.

So those 3 routes are year round SZG,CIA and TIA.

Interesting what the others are

Like you said special guest tomorrow

Ryanair UK should operate actual aircraft based at Birmingham Airport (BHX). Crew training began on the 4th September, and active recruitment for UK-registered maintenance personnel is underway. RAK and AGA flights are also scheduled to return.

Copenhagen has gone quiet. BFS was meant to be but is staying at EMA for the foreseeable future. I have no idea about KIR. As for the special guest, they did come, but unfortunately, there wasn’t an announcement that people would thought was going to happen.

Any idea if or what frequency CIA and SZG will be for next summer as nothing out on sale just yet

 

[BHX492]

CIA will be 3 weekly and SZG will be short winter season only
