Indeed

Looks like a new airline may actually start in late October 2025

What you thinking Ian?

My guess is Norwegian or Air Cairo

Would you bet on it?

I don't mean I am going to offer you a wager I just mean how confident of it being a banker are you of a new route starting?

The cabin crew might be described as posh, scary or maybe sporty?

Came close a couple of years ago but never happened. Things do seem a little further along this time (times, flight numbers etc) so fingers crossed.

Nothing guaranteed until those wheels touch down 🙂

Can I ask if it’s long haul

Dear lord @Birmingham Aviation ...Lets try this again...

It's about time BHX spiced things up!!

So lets think about this. We're in the ACL Birmingham Slot Allocation Thread which listed a load of airlines looking to expand at BHX. Which airline maybe on that list which has been talked about over the last few days that MIGHT have any relation to the above word???

Come on now....

Reading is one thing, paying attention is clearly something very different.

and hopefully the current air space closures won't affect it too!!

Last chance.

Looks like an airline "what I really really want ".

I know you lot might think I’m an invalid spammer but I’m not .I live on meadway and I know this is irrelevant but I cannot see Spicejet happening.

Be great if it did though

To be honest, I echo the sentiment on other threads that it is a terrible time to launch an Indian route from the UK, especially Amritsar with the airspace closures - Mumbai from down the road is bad enough, it’s a huge diversion from northern India with the Pakistani closures let alone the Israel-Iran belt that has now shut.

 

[Iron Duck]

You need to wait till after the 24th June, if the decison about the airspace doesn't go Air India's way then BHX is at risk of loosing them completely. And if that does happen Spicejet certianly won't start.

What’s on 24th June?

What’s on 24th June?

The ban/restrictions that currently in place until June 24th so potentially could be lifted then or extended.
