Apparently it’s a bumper year for 2027 for Ryanair

Any snippets or hints for easyjet

So the estimate is just shy of half a million leak to other airports so the actual demand is closer to a 1000 per day.

So that won’t include my trip next year and the 3 trips I’ve done this year. I book seperate tickets as it saves a fortune in tax 🙂

PIA set to launch flights from ISB to BHX from 01/12/26. 3x weekly (Tues,Thurs,Sat) using B777

Would be quite fitting if they sent AP-BHX for the first flight, one of our own 🤣

Apologies mate. I did not see you had already posted this information.

And who'd have guessed, this was actually BHX!

So for Summer 2027, BHX will be welcoming 3 NEW (long-haul?) Airlines to our departure board which is the first time in a long time we've been able to say that!

• Air Transat
• Egyptair
• Pakistan International

The loss of SV is a hit (though they barely operated even this summer) and it seems AI will have a smaller presence at BHX too, BUT even with the uncertain economic/political outlook atm, it seems BHX have been working hard to attract new carriers.

Great news!

Any predictions for next new airlines???

Mine is Icelandair or Ajet

Icelandair-Reykjavik has on average 61 passengers daily 30 passengers in 30 passengers out which equivalents to 210 passengers per week

You could easily do a 2/3 weekly service,Good for connections for New York,Boston,and Seattle.

Next airline

RAM-Royal air Maroc

Ajet airlines

Could give competition to Sun express

Great shout - Icelandair & it would be fantastic but unfortunately I can’t see that happening after what happened last time & current Trump issues

 

[gulftraveller]

And AJet has traditionally been STN only in order not to compete with legacy parent carrier TK.

Both AJet & Turkish go to STN

Today
Turkish - 4 (2 are Cargo)
AJet - 2
Pegasus - 5
Sun Express - 2

I know AJet have looked at both BHX & MAN recently

 

[gulftraveller]

Yes they do. I said traditionally: TK is a recent (re)arrival at STN on the IST route. It is the same issue as EK v. FDB. Can you maintain your higher fare customers if you introduce a low cost alternative? In the case of LON the demand is huge so you can. In the regions, less so.

I remember in 2024 Pegasus wanted to operate Antalya and Dalaman.Now Is the perfect opportunity
