The advantage of being open 24 hours a day: 7 departures with 4 different airlines to Antalya within 3.5 hours at night, a common occurrence at Münster/Osnabrück Airport (FMO) in the next few weeks. This is of great benefit to our airline partners, as they have full operational flexibility and can increase the utilisation of their aircraft. The question is often asked whether people want to fly at this time of night: yes, holidaymakers like these times because they gain almost an extra day at their destination by arriving early and returning late.   SunExpress Mavi Gök Airlines Pegasus Airlines Corendon Airlines Fraport TAV Antalya Airport #FMO #Aviation #Airlines #Airports #MaviGökAirlines #SunExpress #PegasusAirlines #CorendonAirlines

Irish ULCC Ryanair plans to cut its German flight offering by an additional 12%, which equals 1.8 million seats and 22 canceled routes, for summer 2025. Ryanair will close its bases in Dortmund, Dresden and Leipzig. The airline will reduce Hamburg services by 60%, Berlin services by 20%, and will reduce services by 10% on other routes. In a February interview with Aviation Week, Ryanair Group CEO Michael O’Leary told me, “We are very content to see German traffic fall. We would like to see German traffic fall for another year or two, [and] air fares rise dramatically for a year or two. And that [after two years], we think the German regional airports will come to us and say, ‘please Ryanair fly in here. Airports like Stuttgart, Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Bremen, Nurnberg.’” My story now at the Aviation Week Network #hofmannaviation #luftfahrtexperte Ryanair - Europe's Favourite Airline Boeing ACI EUROPE Ralph Beisel Julian Jäger Airlines for Europe (A4E) #Ryanair Andreas Gruber #Boeing

Jet2.com and Jet2holidays has announced it will start flying from London Luton Airport from next April. The airport is currently dominated by Europe's three biggest (U)LCCs - Ryanair, easyJet and Wizz Air. These three carriers have accounted for more than 95% of seat capacity at the airport since the pandemic. The only other airlines that have operated regularly at Luton in 2024 have been TUI Airways, EL AL Israel Airlines, FLYONE, SunExpress and Romania's Dan Air. Jet2.com's 35 weekly departing flights next summer is likely to make it the airport's fourth biggest carrier with just over 3% of flights. According to AIR SERVICE ONE analysis of Cirium schedules data, in August 2024 easyJet offered 502 weekly departures, Wizz Air 391 and Ryanair 154.

Talking challenging ATC and supply chains and dynamics of IAG with John Strickland at the helm again 🎤 and esteemed panel including Vueling Airlines CEO Carolina Martinoli at the #AviationFest / and Transavia boss Marcel de Nooijer and planning deliveries and the LCC operating model focus on summer leisure traffic, keeping our finger on the pulse ! Schipol caps maybe not as bad as expected and 475-485k slots, day and night slots balance. 3x per day to drive utilisation flying our aircraft - so still work to do..

It’s great to see that Delta Air Lines will be resuming Tampa International Airport (TPA) to Amsterdam flights this coming winter, with a daily A330-300 service. It last flew the route between May and October 2019, when it had five weekly to a daily 767-300ER operation. Interesting that it'll now apparently be winter seasonal. When it flew in those six months, it carried approx. 50k roundtrip passengers (per the US DOT T-100) with a seat load factor of 80%. Around 44% of pax transfer to fellow transatlantic joint venture partner KLM Royal Dutch Airlines’s flights (per OAG Traffic Analyser). Unsurprisingly, Germany was by far the top market, with Frankfurt the leading O&D. Amsterdam was Tampa’s third-largest European point-to-point market when Delta operated, behind Gatwick and Heathrow. It was a time when Heathrow didn't have non-stop flights (it now does because of Virgin Atlantic). In all, Delta’s Schiphol service captured approx. 12% of the European market from Tampa in the six months. #airlines #aviation

PLAY airlines is making a radical change to its business model, focusing on the strong leisure markets from Iceland and reducing flights between North America and Europe, which it considers "unprofitable and disappointing". To do so, it has also applied for an AOC from #Malta, the AOC from #Norway will continue to be used. ▶️ https://lnkd.in/d8dVaKMV Einar Örn Ólafsson #PLAYAirlines #airlines #aviation #wetravelbiz Wetravel.biz #wetravelaviation Wetravelaviation
