Birmingham: Route Development & Rumours

[rollo]

If Delta do anything from BHX it wont be to MCO. I would expect it to be in to Atlanta, from whence you can get to all of the Floridian airports subject to your specific requirements, with one of many flights to all of them every day. Or, indeed, pretty much anywhere else in the US.

Wouldn't disagree re Atlanta but NYC is probably the No.1 US destination and not exactly badly connected to North America.

Still think Delta is unlikely but never say never.

Maybe a 3rd daily Emirates ?

Really .Especially when numbers have dropping in recent months

Whilst EK have been busy elsewhere, other airlines have arrived at BHX and started to eat into their BHX market share. Maybe it's time EK started fighting back .......with a third daily service to DXB

The CX rumours have been quieting down since Bloomberg posted last winter

Morning EK arrival possibly with an A350

Yes that is the plan

That was plan last year and year before didn’t happen.Qatar needs a 2 daily service

Is it needed? Mid afternoon into Dubai not the best connections at that time unless they are attempting to get the Indian market on that flight?

Anything from Delta?

Back in 2024 it was Cathay Pacific and finnair that were rumoured to be in talks with bhx.

Now I think Norwegian -Helsinki at least 3/4 weekly would be a great addition for winter at bhx.

Apparently according to T.Screen on LinkedIn he’s saying hopefully more to come from wizz air.Im not being dramatic but I think bringing back routes like Wroclaw,Gdansk,Cluj and possibly Tirana would be very beneficial for passenger numbers.

Air India are getting a 789 delivered winter 2025 could we see Mumbai or an additional frequency on either Amritsar or Delhi

Discussions about a US route happening but I get the impression there is still a way to go before anything happens.

I think post Brexit we took a bit of a hit on Eastern European services and the Wizz aircraft issues haven't helped but hopefully things are starting to bounce back a little.

Wizz have big potential for away based routes, hopefully utilising the quieter periods in the terminals. Definitely one to keep an eye on

Sorry, it was more tongue in cheek than serious question hence smiley.

I thought the upcoming 787-8s would have been ideal for a morning service, certainly works for QR.

Have we applied for a 3rd daily ek service or is the plan to apply for a 3rd ek daily service?

Applies for a service ?

Only EK can decide if they thinka third service is viable.

so ek haven’t applied for a third daily service from winter?

A contact tells me they are considering bringing the third BHX service back.
But it would appear the Manchester fourth service is further advanced as times are known.

Emirates applies for a service not the airport

I knew they had something going on with the morning service, considering there’s a high amount of 2 class 777s that are vacant, and the loads for BHXs being extremely well.

They are? I wish someone would make up their mind. I'm sure I read on here recently that the loads are not good and now they are good.

I can't keep up.
