Primera Air

[58terminus]

People have short memories and hopefully these teething troubles are just that.
NAX has similar problems with their MAX launch and now all is well

Not if you read some of the articles flying around about their financial set up.

Well Primera will have an entire TATL fleet soon so regardless how bad the start is ...everywhere, not just BHX, they will have to do something with their fleet!

Am i correct in saying that they are leased?. Probably like the deals the car companies do on new cars which work well if you manage the deal correctly but if you don't you are taking the bus.

One thing I will say about Primera is that it’s got us talking! 52 pages and the tyres haven’t hit the tarmac yet!

Well they have no competion accross the pond (yet) !

Which do you think will end up as the bigger number, pages or landings?

Actually i would say they have lots of competition.

I really dont think people are all that bothered if they fly from BHX to New York or Toronto, all they wanna do is fly to New York or Toronto and you can do this with lots of flights available from MAN. People are so used to having to fly from MAN/LHR it is the norm, if they fly from BHX its a bonus but its not going to change there lives massively.

I would also consider Aer Lingus competition from BHX and without the hassle of flying direct from BHX and waiting in a que for 2 hours for border control in the USA.

Not forgetting KLM, Air France and Lufthansa. Some people seem to think because it’s going in the opposite direction it takes longer but I’d rather do a quick hop to AMS than traverse the M6 or M25 in rush hour. Schipol is a breeze to transfer.

And don't forget Ian is probably hinting at an Uzbekistan or Air India transit flight.Who knows?

Still feels a bit backward though Thunder going East and then back over the UK.

Air India on a 787 Dreamliner sounds like a dream compared to Primera Scare

On the other forum there's a rumour that the National 757 might get swapped for a Titan 757.

From the Business Traveller article below,

It seems that the majority if not all of these will also be operated by charter aircraft, though new flights from Birmingham to New York (from May 18) and Toronto (from May 30) will be flown by A321neos, the airline says.

In fairness to Primera after I refused STN as a return destination they have now offered SWF-DUB-BHX which I have accepted so the show goes on!! Much relief for Mrs FMTTM

Lets hope so.

The National 757 looks to have had a rough time at STN.
