    Using Birmingham Airport (Questions & Reviews)

    We always go to the " International pier" which is good or the old Eurohub which o.k. if departing from there. The main terminal or retail experience if you like is horrible in my opinion just walk through it! Security - the jury is out Border control - normally fine. Baggage-hit and miss...

    BHX Movements and Heads Up

    These could well be Milatry movements. The RAF have operated a few flights from Rzeszow recently into BHX with Voyagers. Since the recent action of idiots they have two aircraft temporary out of service. Indecently Brize Norton has major runway works in winter26 so BHX could be in line for...

    Just a point BHX is not being taken over Maqure will own 26.5% equity of the airport therefore they are not in control all the other existing shareholders remain so I'm not sure what this holds for us particularly given what Maquire are.

    Birmingham Airport - General Thread

    Interesting they previously bought a 24% stake for £84 million in BHX in 2002 and sold it to Ontario Teachers Plan in 2007 for £210 million and now looking to buy back in. The proposed deal includes BRS and LCY. Yes I am getting the feeling we are heading down the Luton route of sticking...

    Route Development & Rumours

    In MarchTurkish and Pegasus flew combined around 20,500 to Istanbul while Emirates just over 40,000 passengers an additional 777 on the Dubai route would daily offer 800+ seats more than an extra daily flight by both Turkish carriers combined if its numbers your after. Personally I think all...

    Route Development & Rumours

    Thanks to the statistics provided by Matt995 on this thread estimated load factors for 2024 are ÷ Qatar 92% Emirates 80% Saudi 62% Wether or not those figures are good enough for Emirates to run a morning flight I suppose depends on how much extra demand it would create...

    Random Stuff!

    The airport property I was referring to are the ares referred to in your post car park 5 etc not from where they tried to stream today. I don't see why they were moved and they themselves said they weren't going back until the work is completed if it is not part of the construction site as...

    Random Stuff!

    I'm not surprised they have been told to move off a construction site they shouldn't be there in the first place and I assume they need airport permission to stream on airport property who no doubt would recite security issues. Having said that a proper viewing facility like we used to have...

    Wizz Air

    Wizz have just announced their financial year end results for 24/25 in it they say they had a peak of 43 aircraft out of service now down to to 37 and by September will only be down to 34 so some wiggle room for increases but not much. They also state the average out of service time is 300 days...

    It's an additional route making a total of 14 flights a week to five destinations so less than LBA I believe.

    Wouldn't disagree re Atlanta but NYC is probably the No.1 US destination and not exactly badly connected to North America. Still think Delta is unlikely but never say never.

    While Orlando is past its peak from years back it is atill a significant market from the UK with BA,Virgin and US carriers all serving MCO. TUI have not helped themselves over the years switching from MCO which is close to Disney to SFB 1hr away then to MLB 11/2hrs away all in the cause of a...

    TUI Airways

    To be realistic its really likely a cruise flight for Marella as they have three river cruise ships running out of there and the flight fits their programme.
