Could it be a case of left hand and right hand? Stay safe everyone

Sorry to shower on the parade, BUT surely Aer Lingus is part of IAG along with London Airways - whoops sorry, BA. How dare they consider diluting our lucrative Midlands business across the pond

The BBC managed to show a 380 arriving on the 1.30 news!!

May I ask members to stop beating their own political drum. We ALL have opinions, but this is not the place to air them. Let us here hope that Emirates are back on the tarmac at BHX in the non too distant future - meanwhile stay safe

Which, he said with tongue in cheek, will Donald accept responsibility for the death of my ancestors from Spanish flu? Keep smiling everyone.

My brain aches - ajopolies!!

Surely the flight times imply not a Naples aircraft

Holiday in Phuket with SAGA. Not flying from Brum, but thought may be of interest. First leg required a trip up the M6 mid afternoon in pouring rain, fortunately in a people carrier taxi. Arrived at Manchester with 4 hours to departure - at least flying from BHX, I do not have motorway delays...

Thanks to all for the info. Puts a different slant on money making, or otherwise, routes and aircraft.

Digressing slightly, but what are the freight benefits, which Emirates lost with the 380 over the 777? Looks to be plenty of freight in the picture.

Went on annual pilgrimage by LNWR to London for drinks with ex workmates. Noticed at all stations we stopped, including Watford, West Midlands Trains signage saying Direct Services to Birmingham Airport, or words to that effect.

Memo to Flybe: Is there a surfeit of aircrew on the market at present?

Anyone catch Midlands news this morning on Breakfast? If not the you should be aware that all British Airways flights from Birmingham have been cancelled today - well that’s a large loss of traffic!!!!

Birmingham Airport master plan????? Perhaps there should be a new thread HS2

An interesting paragraph is “We primarily wanted to lock in Ryanair to the island as it is the main carrier here and we have therefore got a certain level of dependency on it as a country,” a government source familiar with the workings of the deal said. A lesson there for the let’s go orange...

Don’t know how many, but met some visitors from Dublin on a Sunday last July and it was possible to see when a train had arrived, by the surge of passengers and the fact that one of the airport link units would not take them all

Oh dear mullion, I cannot recall his name, but there used to be a supporter of Warwickshire CCC who would probably have been heard to whisper OH DEAR!

Mostly a silent lurker, but feel I must offer my sympathies to British Steel workers - grey bull strikes again

Just clicked the wrong place and went to the first posting on this thread. For all of us that think "we know best" go and have a read and take note of the date! Ian keep up your good work
