    Birmingham Airport - General Thread

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-66320747 Strike called off. From the BBC yesterday. Glad the staff got a deal that was acceptable to them. A strike when the airport is trying to rebuild confidence and routes would have been very damaging, but so many people are being hit hard...

    Nostalgia at BHX

    How much of that photo has changed. Given what Eurohub is now locating in further to the south east would work. At the time, of course, it was a true hub of a true hub and spoke airport and I suppose, proximity was everything. Great photo that reminds us how barren the whole area was at that time.

    BHX Movements and Heads Up

    Sorry. :censored: When I wrote the message I did think of the pain it may cause. You are right the damage was immense.

    I agree do not bother withbthe blogger. Plenty of videos out there that have a go at every city in the UK at some time. Great news about the tourism boost.

    Birmingham Airport - Picture Thread

    Couple of Viscounts on the ground and the smoke (!) from a 1-11 seen five miles out! Them were the days when we were mere lads riding around on our Choppers. Great photo, thanks for sharing, Sir Ray, and I hope you had a good trip.

    Greater Birmingham - Thread

    I have often thought, if I bought Birmingham City Football Club, how would I run the club? I have a similar haircut to Tom Wagner, although I do not have an American accent. But watching him on Blues TV is like listening to my own vision for how the club, fans and city can act as one to awake...

    Ryanair

    I have been to both. Don't get me wrong, rather those two than more flights to malaga and Palma. As others have posted we struggle to keep some routes. But it may also be the wrong carrier on the right route. I am not a fan of Ryanair, endless stream of them in sunny Essex...be thankful for a...

    I have been thinking of what to draw next and a skyline is looking more likely!

    Ryanair

    Shame that we are losing Billund, Gdansk, Bordeaux and Vilnius for more of the same in Spain. We seem to be incapable of holding onto interesting routes that make the city itself seem like a place worth visiting. This shows that we are heading towards being a boring airport for those seeking...

    Nostalgia at BHX

    I think the smoke is still hanging around. Loved those times. Aircraft let you know of their presence. Oh how I miss the long drawn out drone of the DC3 and the dirty roar of a BAC1-11.

    easyJet

    They will have to snuggle up close together. I almost gave up hope for BHX during covid and thought that the good times had passed. I was so wrong. Easyjet, Jet2, Ryanair and Tui all with a decent base. Nice to have some national carriers and the good news on easyjet is city to city...
