Route Development & Rumours

[route66]

What kind of Church can afford the charter of a 747? Makes me wonder sometimes about organisations pleading for donations etc. Does Manchester have a large Scientology presence?

There's a Scientology HQ in Moseley , Birmingham.

Yep, I remember the bookshop selling their book, nameless on here because of forum rules.

The HQ is a massive building bought in 2007 on the edge of Moseley.

The Summer 2022 initial coordination reports are out for some UK. One of them is Birmingham.

They include Birmingham to Palma with Easyjet. And Birmingham to Dalaman with Turkish airlines??

I’ve just had a look at the ACL report myself. Quick question - Why does it say Easyjet are cancelling Belfast, Glasgow & Geneva or have I misread that? I hope it’s not the case!

Also it looks like Jazeera & Kuwait have been allocated 124 slots respectively which sounds interesting. Easyjet have been allocated a massive 83% increase in slots.. Would be great if anyone could expand on what they might be doing with those!

As well as easyjet PMI and Turkish to Dalaman, Cyprus Airways are on the list to LCA.

Disappointingly it suggests that Ryanair have canx Katowice (hopefully Wizz will step in on that one) but Rhodes is on the list (not yet bookable) along with slots to ZAD and ZAG.

Obviously these are just requests and not certain to happen.

It’s because the Easyjet routes to BFS/GLA/GVA have transferred from the European AOC to the U.K. AOC

To add to the coordination report it suggests that Emirates have applied to use the A380. And Qatar have also for 1 daily flights.

Hi CM. Ive noted on a few occasions that your posts seem to immediately follows posted i've released on my Twitter Feed @Hello_BHX. .... when posting this information can you please credit your source. it would be appreciated!

I had hoped we would see an A380 return next year, and possibly twice daily, particularly as Newcastle is down for double daily B773 next year. We can surely beat that.

Sorry I couldn't help myself, lol but woody aka Hello BHX, has informed me that Air India have applied for x 8 weekly flights

Hi. On this occasion it was a mistake and I take responsibility for that so I apologise for not crediting you.

However I don’t agree with your other bits as I do credit all my posts and the last time when I used info from you it was properly credited.

Thanks

On a positive note. Jazeera could be operating out of Birmingham in the next few months according to this tweet.

[Matt995]

remember these are slots only, they are no guarantee that these flights will actually happen next summer, airlines like to plan ahead and will be hoping they can get back to some sort of "normal" operations, the likes of Emirates, Qatar, and Air India can change there schedules at a moments notice, especially as we are still 4/5 months away, lets just keep our fingers crossed that these airlines do take up the option of this slots for summer 2022!

Extract taken from Bloomberg…
Jazeera stopped short of selecting longer-range versions of the A321neo, though Kuwait’s position in the northwest Gulf means it can already reach Western Europe, with London Heathrow flights operational and services to Manchester, Birmingham and elsewhere planned in six months.

So, are Jazeera Airways looking at building a hub in Kuwait? I would be surprised if there is enough direct traffic to justify flights from LHR, BHX and MAN.
