Turkmenistan won’t be back for some time. They have failed audit trails within their maintenance records however BTW that doesn’t mean their aircraft have been flying with actual mechanical issues more rather the paperwork is incomplete.
The UK were the ones that raised the issue with EASA in the first place !
In fact the CAA have be the active lead agent in a number of EU exclusions in recent times including pressuring Germany over the Mahran route licenses in support of our fellow Anglophones across the ocean.
Jennyjet high street travel agents flog their own group products first and formost and secondly what makes them best levels of commission - that their business model in a nutshell
Few are completely independent of these rules .
They aren’t obligated to find YOU the best or what might be considered unusual routings or destinations. Thats up to YOU to lead them !
That’s long been the case.
And yes it’s a catch twenty two situation and I am afraid Birmingham has a relentless uphill challenge against Heathrow Gatwick and MAG group airports.
It’s especially hindered on New York routes for viability when pushing uphill against thirty daily’s down the M40, Dublin and to a lesser extent Manchester (an airport where those 30 daily’s also effect the front cabin and yield potential enough that Oneworld has once again abandoned that market , whilst Delta has handed their traffic to partners Virgin)
On the Toronto route the headidays of the seventies and eighties are long gone simply because the VFR trafFic has declined -bluntly died off steadily over the last twenty years.
