I still cannot believe that nobody seems to be able to make a go of BHX on an A321 even if it's just say 4 a week. There has to be a market?

Makes no sense. Ok BOS may have been a bridge too far but why start Newark in May daily THEN switch back to 4 in high season? If the aircraft is available in May why not June? Plus this is an A320 we are talking about not a 747, there simply has to be demand to fill this in June July from...

"the vast majority of people in the West Midlands will still be largely unaware. Also bare in mind how much people complain on social media about anything these days - most of the time I end up ignoring what is said anyway!" I suspect Simon Calder is monitoring twitter and indeed "circling"...

Always one to see a slight downside to all good news, I would like to have seen a mid April start with say an October finish. Very much in "short arsed" Rouge territory here. BIG SHOUT OUT to USER who scooped us this news before Christmas and on this forum

I wasn't sure where to place this but where are Dobbo and User ? We had some excellent exchanges both good and very occasionally frank, but both are exceptionally knowledgeable and their contribution is sorely missed. Have I missed something ?

This might be of interest to anybody with a wider interest in NW infastructure as clearly the tsunami of money continues to pour into London with our illustrious still leaders seemingly ambivalent. https://www.ippr.org/research/publications/future-transport-investment-in-the-north-briefing I...

What TCX need and what they can afford may be two different things.

"So what did the Romans, sorry Mancunians do for us " I still prefer my "I love MCR" t shirt that represents ; The origin of votes for women laying the template for worldwide equal rights. Creation of the 1st railway in the World that revolutionised passenger transport. Building of the...

There are more people in the know on here re Birmingham than me, but there seems to be a contradiction if seats are available on the primera site but not on any other booking engine. Is that allowed? The BHX experts here seem to think Boston won't start until Sep so why are Primera still...

Wasn't sure where to put this .... BUT the Mancunian historian who organises the various Manchester Walks has spotted all the "London Tat" in the WHSMITHS shop in the airport. Incensed is not the word.!

Our "Stacey and Steph" need to sharpen up on their spotting skills

I suspect this valid point has been raised as a result of the debate re Heathrow. As has been said, the cost of the Heathrow expansion is considerably higher than Manchester, somewhere in the region of 6 x that of Manch at circa £6bn in terms of runway and terminal. If the government...

But possibly not when that airport is connected to 18 domestic points ?

But the difficulty originates with headlines ( see below) like this that get stuck in the mind of the reader when elevated to a national level ....... www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-england-37678406 Such misleading articles were prevalent not that long ago and were pounced upon by leader writers ...

18 month old news clip BUT interesting nonetheless re the EL AL service? ://www.timesofisrael.com/as-london-prices-climb-manchester-beckons-jews-from-far-and-near/

I know there was an excellent evaluation on here from one poster re the bitter infighting between Loganair and FlyBe. Bit more info here. http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/flybe-loganair-shetland-orkney-lewis-price-competition-a8099981.html?amp&__twitter_impression=true

I noticed that EasyJet are doing a lot of TV a2dvertising for summer, does this not suggest that they are promoting what is already the final picture ? Adding capacity won't matter but it would seem odd to add a a tranche of new routes having already heavily promoted the summer network as at...

Must confess I heard the interview and was rather hoping she could have interweaved.... "200 plus destinations ". "Largest domestic hub in the UK " . Opportunities for national coverage don't come along that ofter. Important that MAN management are savvy enough to exploit every opportunity...
