They have gone to the same place the people who used to fly to Brussels,Vienna,Copengagen,Jersey,Inverness etc.All available from airports bigger,similar and snaller than BHX
I fear for the future when the European wide route cull,the one that nobody talkes about hopeing it wil go away comes.
The above posts do raise a couple of questions.
How are MAN and LHR easier to get to?Have they moved BHX?
Are the final destinations of passengers from MAN GLA LHR that different than those from BHX?
Looks good until a look at FR24 shows flights on currently on route to DUB/MAN/GLA/LHR/AMS/CPH/FRA/CDG/ZRH/GVA/VIE/MXP/MAD/OSL/BRU
As for BHX. Latest is a low requency 777 service in 5 weeks, maybe.
Obvious that they do not regard BHX as a priority and beginning to doubt it even figures in their...
I would think BHX management have more pressing problems at the moment othet than chasing one off cargo flights.
Like trying to salvage some of the network they had before the crisis.
I see Brussels Airlines have announced their planed timetable comencing next month.
