Inflation in Turkey in 2024 was 58%, 2025 35% and this year currently 32% it peaked at one point in 2024 at75% it was bound to catch up with tourism at some point and of course the meglamainiac in the White House is no help at all.

European Cargo have been put into administration this evening. 😳

Routes to Germany are a shadow of the past apart from the ones already mentioned we had regular services to Hamburg, Stuggart and Hanover by BA and later Flybe plus I recall s one season wonder by Augsburg Airways surprisingly to Ausgsburg and of course we still have Munich by Lufty along...

So am I although it may have been Eurowings also Flybe operated the route but as Dusseldorf is only 26 miles away it was never likely to succeed. Dusseldorf is one of the longest served routes from BHX I remember the BEA Viscounts flying the route in the 1960's with Viscounts followed by the a...

There's ways round it Jerry, set up a dual class share structure for example creating by a dual class of shares with different voting rights or set up what's called a front consortium with "tame" European individual(s)) or company are two of the options to gain control. There's many ways large...

On the potential EasyJet take over there has been no bid from Castlake they are a US company looking at a potential takeover and they themselves are owned by Brookfield Asset Management a Canadian investment group. I've had a quick look at EasyJets shareholders list it turns out that around...

Confession time folks I looked at a press release by BHX for April alright but I've just re-read it it's dated for April but its 2019 apologies to everyone I'll leave it to Ian in future.

1,002,473 for April up 4.1% not too bad at all 😀

Indeed it is a great outcome and surprises me I assume the increase is from increased capacity from Ryanair and EasyJet showing their growing importance to BHX and compensating for the losses elsewhere due to the Middle East situation.

Today on the cargo side there is a Cargo Jet 767X due in this morning from Halifax and night stops, also the Airmaster 737 departs today. toTripoli. The Maersk 777 due on its usual run.

I agree but I suppose everyone has their own style of posting. I have noticed some long standing and informative members have reduced or stopped contributing although I don't really like to name folk but Matt995 and Brumx for example spring to mind amongst others maybe its just the pointless...

Hi there Andrew, I really don't know what to say with regard to your post other than I was comparing EasyJets current BHX operations speculating on where I think they might be in the near to medium term.

This week EasyJet have operated 31departures using 16 different aircraft on Monday and 21 departures with 14 aircraft on Tuesday with todays figures looking like 21 out operated by 15 aircraft. I don't know but would think aircraft operating out of Gatwick probably do away based flights at...

Silkway 744 due in this evening on the Baku run also an airmaster 737 from Cairo yesterday departs to Malta today and the Maersk 777 also in today so not bad for a bank holiday Sunday. Info from the bhxmovementsblog.

Yes that's correct the 727, 737 and 757 had a fuselage derived from the 707 ie. same crossection..
