Fly One

I live about 5 miles away and went many times as a kid. It’s probably very impressive if you’re Moldovan. Nuf sed.

Ummm, apart fom numerous attractions in Bham., there are Warwick/Kenilworth castles, Worcester/Coventry/Birmingham (wonderful Edward Burne-Jones window) cathedrals, magnificent National Trust/English Heritage properties, Stratford-upon-Avon, the Cotswolds, the Malverns, ...+++ and then there is Peaky Blinders! (the ex-Liverpool locations)

Don't mess with the Peaky Blinders, more or less an exact quote !!

Chisinau is now bookable until Oct 27th, previously it only went up to late August.

Still weekly on a Saturday.

Nope, FlyOne schedule has been know for a few months now and was in my provision timetable I posted a few weeks ago!

A great little but strange route for BHX, lets hope they continue this time around. Last time it was a shambles

I can't help thinking the name suggests an aviation version of U-Drive.

 

[Jon Dempsey]

Maybe someone should start an airline for chavvy pax called DoOne!

Chisinau is now bookable into winter, still weekly on a Saturday

good news, lets hope that might increase the frequency too, still not sure how a once weekly service works!

 

[Ray Finkle]

How odd is it that you can fly from Birmingham directly to Chisinau and Cluj-Napoca yet there are no flights to Lisbon, Athens or Nice?

There is a choice of two airlines offering seven weekly flights direct to Bucharest, yet Venice has only two weekly flights and Rome only four!

 

[Brum X]

You took the words right out of my mouth Ray. But at least we have something to gloat about. Not every airport have routes to Cluj and chisinau.

 

[thunderchild]

More flights to Ashgabat than New York, Toronto and Orlando????

Niche markets from the UK v saturated ones. Emerging markets too. Not always a bad thing.

I have said something similar a few times.
If BHX can gain some niche routes then great.For me it is about getting routes and airlines that will work for BHX and it’s customers.
Turkmenistan A/L have proved that these services can work.Air One returning for a second season is also very encouraging.
If Uzbekistan A/L return as well,then that also opens up more opportunities,and not just to Amritsar either.
As I have pointed out before,TUA offer a lot more than ATQ,and Air One offer a few more different connections as well Chisinau.
All in all this is good for BHX and the region,and maybe,further afield.
Long haul of any description is good,but we also need many European routes that have been mentioned before.
I still believe BHX is in a good position for positive growth over the next few years.
