    Would Chicago really fit the portfolio? Clearly there is the holidaymaker aspect to their other US routes, althought the connectivity to JetBlue certainly , a swap from say AA to TCX does seem a step to far. Maybe its a snobbish view ? SIA on the other hand would be a winner but ...... 3 a...

    Route Development & Rumours

    Now come , come Roy, you old royster joyster, yes I did include the LoveManchester ref but to be fair they themselves were simply para-phrasing other references, there are a myriad refs to other sites which are gushing in relation to this topic. I prefer however to look at actuality over...

    A quick keyword sift and there are at least dozen+ articles in the last 6 months by diferent property consultants suggesting by general consensus that MANCHESTER is the hottest place to invest outside London. Many are quoted in the South China Post. The PR puff piece above is written for a...

    Birmingham Airport - General Thread

    Having still not appointed a CEO does anybody know who us in actually charge in terms of final decisions. It's seems a very peculiar situation.

    I'm incredulous! The record from STN has been equally shocking. That will reflect on STN and MAG as well. I suspect behind closed doors there was a collective sigh of relief when they withdrew the MAN slots. Yes there "might" be some merit in starting again "somewhere else" but that isn't...

    Purely a personal view but I suspect many up North do not want Primera anywhere near Manchester. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As an aside I think some on here would do well to look at BHXs own backyard rather than blame...

    Route Development & Rumours

    The harsh reality is that 50% of the Liverpool catchment is sea and then N Wales If you are coming from the latter it's as easy to get to Manchester. Likewise if you live to the East of the city its as easy to get to Manchester.

    Birmingham Airport - General Thread

    Flight reductions also relates to C02 emissions. In order to meet "NATIONAL" targets Howard Davies made it very clear in his report that regional airports "might" be expected to see a reduction to protect Heathrow. It is there in black and white but is buried in a single line at the back of the...

    PS when looking at what may or may not happen looking back possibly provides the best evidence for what might occur going forward. Numerous factors come to the fore. Emirates have been highly successful, at Bhx might they increase, an emphatic yes. Could that be to the detriment of other...

    Route Development & Rumours

    Talks are care of course a positive but getting routes over the line, quite another. At Manchester the talks to increase the Manchester base by 20% were at an advanced stage, it's fair to say they were "nailed on" but at the very very last minute the rug was pulled. In Easyjets case each...

    Manchester Airport - General Thread

    https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/top-secret-spy-agency-gchq-14516029 Absolutely massive news this morning! Nicked from under the nose of Cambridge apparently. Amount of traffic between the US AND Heathrow enroute to Cheltenham is considerable so there must...

    Primera Air

    They are assigning 2 x B757s to the STN operation which seems odd if the demand is from Birmingham? As an aside that will be 3 aircraft types for 2018.

    So if you park in Jetpark 3 you can the get a free tfr bus to the terminal with your loved ones. Is that right ? If so how long do you get and what's to stop aviation enthusiasts just driving in and parking there for free for an hour.

    I'm not sure a comparison with Birmingham and Edinburgh is a true litmus test however.

    Indeed however would the carrot of picking up a substantial amount of fare paying passengers possibly outweigh the convenience they offer ? At the end of the day they are there to make money and whilst P.C. is clearly a bonus for their passengers does it generate extra cash ?. I would have...

    Outside Influences

    Hi scottie I put it here because there still seems to be a ? mark over Hainan reverting to a daily operation in the summer. It raises the question of whether the MAN frame has been utilised on the DUB EDI sector ? It seemed a reasonable discussion point.
