haha that made me laugh, Tom has no qualifications or knowledge on how to run a business, or an airport, route development it a totally different area, you have alot to learn about buisness Ant! :ROFLMAO:
and if so, how will the based airlines of Ryanair, Jet2, and Easyjet react to this?? - Fingers crossed it would be a postive reaction, and not chopping of any routes that Wizz could potentional muscle in on?
First visit by Jet2 A321neo G-SUNP, has just landed from Antalya on LS9240, bringing home yesterdays LS1240 passengers!!
due to depart back to Manchester at 06:25 Friday morning.
Birmingham website:-
Latest update 19:53 hrs
Following the aircraft incident today, the runway has reopened and operations have resumed. All passengers must check flight details with their airlines and follow advice issued by them. We understand the frustration and apologise for the disruption...
B738 G-GDFF operated Birmingham to Newquay, then several training flights around Newquay before diverting to Manchester. EXS300T & EXS301T
Birmingham ATIS at 1953 giving out runway 15 in use, expect an ILS approach, nothing about the airfield being closed??
Is it open now?

never going to happen Ant, why should the airport spent any money on viewing areas, unless they charge for it and can make a profit :ROFLMAO:
I would much rather the money be spend on the airports terminal/airfield facilities.

not certain what Pegusus flights to Istanbul has to do with increased demand to Bodrum? This data was taken from August 2024, a year ago, Jet2 havent increased capacity this year, and these figures do not indicate that the demand for Bodrum has increased?
a few BHX nbounds were diverted due to not being able to enter UK airspace
TUI B788 from Kos to Brussels, Easyjet A320 from Heraklion to Paris CDG, and 2 Jet 2 B738s from Catania and Kos went to Paris CDG and Brussels.
You keep talking about new aiirlines and services, why ask this question? No one knows which future airlines we are going to attract, the airport will do its homework, the airlines will do their homework, and lets see what develops, just wait and see, guessing airlines will not bring them in...
It will be more than one airline Andrew, you would expect the current airlines likes Easyjet, Jet2 and Ryanair to keep expanding yearly, the likes of Qatar, Saudi, Emirates, Air India, Turkish to increase flights, European airlines old and new, maybe a Wizz Air base, Royal Jordanian, and who...
Been reported that G-FDZZ lost a tyre on departure from Corfu, no idea why it diverted to East Midlands, unless Birmingham would not accept it as it would involve closing the runway for a few hours, and thus 6 EMA flights diverted to BHX!
Sunexpress B738 TC-SOT just positioned in from Izmir, to operate yesterdays delayed XQ537 to Antalya, due to TC-SOD landing at Birmingham yesterday with flaps failure, and thus is now tech on the ground!
actually why does it matter?, I would expect the airport to be talking to at least 20+ airlines on a regular basis, doesnt mean that they will all suddenly decide to fly out of Birmingham, this information has to be confidential, else other UK airports might muscle in and offer a cheaper deal...
I dont think the Brussels flight operating mid afternoon was partically helpfully, maybe a morning departure with an late evening arrival, ie aircraft night stopping might have worked better, allowing a days business travel, and lets face it the A319 is too large for us, and who know what the...
sorry Ant, can't see any Wizz base in the next few years, we dont have the room, and BHX would rather have their based airlines, Jet2, Ryanair & Easyjet expand instead, plus Wizz engine issues will go on for several years yet, most likely to have more away based aircraft, & also Wizz can...
