Received correspondence today from RWANDAIR - who I suggested Birmingham international Airport -

hope they don't get confused with Birmingham–Shuttlesworth International Airport (BHM/KBHM), formerly Birmingham Municipal Airport and later Birmingham International Airport in the USA!! Suggest you use the correct airport name of Birmingham Airport UK in the future!

Again I love the enthusiasm, the airport seems to need some of that energy at the moment.

Have you considered something a little more closer to home, especially with the huge amount of European routes now missing?

A start maybe be contacting easyjet, even some away based routes could fill several gaps and I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try Wizz and Ryanair whilst you are there. You could ask if Czech Airlines are planning a return to Prague, could Iberia Express be persuaded to return on the now missing Madrid, Loganair to IOM and/or NQY, Eurowings bringing back Hamburg.......the list goes on and possibly all more realistic than Rawandair?

Just look at the lost routes thread and work backwards from there 🙂

Good luck.

[KJAY 786]

Inshallah I hope Qatar stay as well - in Birmingham International Airport BHX- they are busy to Global Connections and Central Asia - especially now PIA and Air India decreased and stopped flights we need Qatar to stay.

Might be a long wait, they wont be at BHX in 2021 in my opinion.

Azores Airlines sent Today at 10:22​

Hello. Thank you for your suggestion


(It be nice to have SANTA AZORES Airlines in Birmingham)- Azores Airlines, previously known as SATA International, is a Portuguese airline based in the municipality of Ponta Delgada, on the island of São Miguel in the autonomous archipelago of the Azores.

How about directing some emails to those connected to BHX that can maybe make a difference. The leaders of the Metropolitan Borough Councils could be a start. You could also try Mayor Street who seems to come across as very approachable.

These people promote Greater Birmingham on a world stage and celebrate it as a place to do business so maybe ask them why the airport that serves the region struggles with it's route network and frequencies to key destinations and what they intend to do to improve it.

Well said Ray. A company will send back a reply to the sender with what the sender wants to hear.Airlines are in it to make money and they are not a charity. With this covid 19 im sure there wont be many new routes started from any airport. Its going to take a few years tobthe level we were at before the covid 19 kicked in.
Morning Ray.

Sorry but this page is getting boring. 🤐

Totally unrealistic ambitions.

I agree - S21 is another write off in my opinion

 

[Brum X]

I agree - S21 is another write off in my opinion

I wouldn't say it's a total right off but right now I would just love for BHX to get back to some kind oif normal with our existing network. Fantasy stuff like above is for another year, not 2021 or even 2022 ??

Just needed to get that off my chest. 👍

Rebuild a domestic network from Birmingham? Minimal restrictions if holding a vaccination certificate leaving overseas for another season.

 

[andrew.clarkson]

Hi there Brumx, so you indicate that these forum posts are going a bit boring, so does that include my email to the west Midlands major about future expansion and flights from Birmingham Airport..AndyC
