Route Development & Rumours

[58terminus]

I don't want to be a killjoy but could this be the route that Ian was discussing as it connects with Virgin services to the US

Don't worry Just Birmingham.Nobody knows what routes Ian is discussing.Although you can see from the use of the exclamation mark in his reply we obviously should.

To be honest, what happens on MAN-India shouldn't really impact on BHX-India as there's more than enough passengers in both catchment for both airports to flourish on their respective services: there's a reported half million people of Indian origin in northwest England and 130,000 passengers doing MAN-BOM via other airlines. The important bit is that we are again seeing that the UK should not have a slave-like mentality that only LHR provides connectivity to stimulate regional Britain's economy.

Air Transat A321 NEO Rumblings?????? Just heard a possibility, when I don't know. The professionals need to dig deeper.

 

[Brum X]

Yeah in 2 years time we will have United back on EWR and Air Transat back on YYZ


Just like it has always been.

Ah, the dreaded dagger for strategic thinking - status quo.

And with that policy you usually end up going down like a Led Zeppelin

showing 14:00 arrival at BHX on a Friday, departing at 15:00 from August?

but again do they have any aircraft? Primera take 2!!! one to watch I guess over the next few weeks?

 

[Brum X]

Oh my lord, what is this ? A new route at BHX

And that aircraft is a 777-200 series if my eyes are working ok.

Great to have a flight to Iraq, another niche route Ian was talking about. It should do well as i think there is quite a sizeable iraqi community here in Brum.

just searched for FlyErbil, and it looks like they have 1 aircraft, a Boeing 737-300 leased from an airline called Bravo Airways (Ukraine) UR-CQW Boeing 737-32Q, aged 19 years old.

The flight details are also showing the Bravo flight code of BAY on the BHX flight, make of that what you want!!

And they are in a position where they can pop home for a holiday? I thing the reasons they are here have to be taken into consideration.

LAX-LHR from the dried fruit forum has mentioned an article which has a quote from Tom Screen and he is very confident that Air Arabia Maroc will announce BHX-AGA for this winter.

Nice addition to our network if confirmed.
