My bet is SpiceJet or indigo (I have zero inside knowledge). Based on the fact they both have slots ready to use... otherwise Cathay would be amazing surprise!

I agree that’s ludicrous & I’m definitely not thinking along those lines! I do however think to remain competitive with the connectivity to Europe, there needs to be a new approach. I had really hoped to hear some announcements for w19/s20 by now to some much needed unserved routes in Europe...

EU competition law primarily relates to the regulation of government intervention in markets or companies which are anticompetitive (monopolies). I wouldn’t say the airports/airlines are acting unlawfully, however I would say BHX needs to be a lot more competitive when negotiating with airlines...

Sorry what I meant by that was an airline (irrelevant of size) operating one destination 4/5 times per week shouldn’t be prioritised over an established LCC that could serve multiple destinations & with more frequency.

Really? There are so many unserved/underserved routes that wouldn’t affect these airlines so I don’t see that argument playing out. Plus if easyJet was interested, upsetting small fry in the name of bagging a decent established LCC In my opinion is a no brainer... Is easyJet definitely out of...

Sorry but what do you mean by afford? We don’t have the infrastructure or won’t offer the incentives?

Just read this elsewhere on the internet.. Shame it’s not more regular SAS will operate a short season of direct flights to Oslo and Stockholm over Xmas and New Year 19/20 using A320 & B737-700

A friend of mine has recently started working for TAP Portugal as a pilot. As part of a big recruitment drive, they are looking to expand their TATL market from Lisbon & introduce a new low cost model. Has anyone heard about this? Maybe one to watch as they may be looking to introduce feeder...

I disagree completely with this. BHX & EMA are not in the same league at all, EDI is probably the only comparable with BHX in the UK (not just by numbers but also mix of international & European routes). As with any business, BHX followed a strategy which hasn’t been as successful as MAN...

Would Qatar step in on transatlantic at BHX? After that announcement from JetBlue, I really can’t see them heading to the midlands anytime soon. Also, it it me or is the new CEO very quiet? I thought we might have heard a bit more from him on the Airports growth ambitions

I agree with the comments about short haul. Short haul should be a BHX priority moving forward as connectivity across Europe is really poor considering we are the UKs second biggest city. If I’m going long haul & can’t go direct I wouldn’t travel to MAN or London, just connect via AMS. BHX needs...
