MIAMI – Denmark’s second busiest airport has announced the opening of five new routes by three different airlines for the summer of 2021.
Billund Airport (BLL) will be serving three new routes by Vueling (VY) to Barcelona (BCN), Malaga (AGP) and Palma de Mallorca (PMI) from 18th and 19th of June respectively, while currently reigning Ryanair (FR) also adds two weekly flights to Barcelona’s El Prat airport from the 1st of July.
On top of the Spanish destinations, Billund will offer a new connection to Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport (GZP) by Turkish Airlines (TK). According to the airline’s website, the flight will be operated by Airbus A320s and it will provide connection twice a week between the well known tourist paradise and the home of LEGO. The Turkish national carrier is already present on the Danish market with daily flights between Istanbul (IST) and Copenhagen (CPH).
According to
anna.aero, Sharjah has 70% of the passenger occupancy of the Air Arabia Group and almost ten times that of Air Arabia Maroc’s (3O) second-placed Casablanca. The airline’s preparation for UAE airport estimates 5.4 million passengers, a figure reduced by 19%, or 1.3 million, compared with Summer 2019.
With over four out of ten seats and 24 routes, India and Saudi Arabia are by far the leading destinations for G9. Kuala Lumpur, its sole destination in South East Asia, will be so far its longest route with 5,533 kilometers. The airline is going to use A321neo.
Sarajevo International (SJJ) will be the next longest route with the least capacity of all destinations. This is one of the three Western, Central and Eastern European airports to be served. Others include Boryspil International Airport (KBP) and Moscow Domodedovo Airport (DME).
Oranmore, Ireland, where coffee and broccoli are coming in by drone
Ever since the small Irish town of Oranmore became a test bed for its drone delivery service, there’s been plenty of surprises for Manna Aero.
Last October Manna Aero began an extensive trial in the small town, located on the outskirts of Galway on the west coast of Ireland. All of the shops in town were given the opportunity to have their goods delivered to people by drone from the pharmacy and hardware store to the local coffee shop and Thai takeaway. Anything up to a weight of 2kg can be delivered. Manna Aero charges the retailers a fixed subscription fee for the delivery service, and retailers, in turn, are charging customers somewhere between €3 and €5 for the delivery.
