Route Development & Rumours

[Glenn Eldridge]

Long haul Asia route I'm gonna have a wild guess at ANA from Tokyo with a 787 direct or perhaps via DUS?

 

[User002]

I can confirm YYZ, EWR & BOS are the three routes - this has been made public elsewhere as has the aircraft type, I will let you go and hunt for it !

Wild guess eh?

 

[Creguk]

I would be curious about the demand for Tokyo. I'd love it if BHX secured that route though - what a coup that would be!

Could be some logic in a Japanese service, Stratford is a favourite stop off of theirs when travelling the UK.

With a slot restricted LHR who knows maybe BHX have sold the idea of their UK tour starting in the Midlands.

We shall see...

Would the airline be Travel Service Polska at all?

Didn't the Chinese charters refer to BHX as Shakespeare's Airport?

You could ascertain that simply by browsing these pages...

Doesn't the A320neo have the range as well?

Almost

 

[Creguk]

So said airline is using A320neo then?

 

[Ray Finkle]

Not A320neo.

I was in conversation recently with one of the Handling Companies on the cargo side who reckoned that they were bidding for one particular carrier (who remained nameless) to come into BHX. H refused to tell me any details because he knew if he dropped one little bit (equipment type or hub) that I would know straight away who it would be! Just a guess from my part but not one that has been mentioned previously.

I read recently that Emirates Skycargo have signed an agreement with Cargolux. I did wonder at the time if that may provide extra cargo uplift at one of Emirates UK stations.

EWR 7/7
YYZ 3/7
BOS 4/7
Two based units (hopefully more to follow)

I hope all goes to plan. Great to hear Boston is on the cards.

That's interesting as i'd thought Toronto would be more than Boston. Guessing it's 737 MAX aircraft?
