Outbounds loads will drop off now as the Summer Kids hols are almost over, this would be the case not just at BHX but elsewhere too. Inbound loads again hardly an empty seat as you would expectr.

EK40 was 469 Inbound empty seats on those 3 flights combined was 12 !

I think BHX has done really well turn what was close to a disaster last Summer (which wasnt enirely their fault) into a much slicker operation this Summer especially with rising pax numbers.

Wizz were planning 4 last time but I would be happy with 3 :)

Thanks Ryanair too on Berlin :)

BHX is coping very well with 50k pax passing through the airport on most days. So much better than S24 The bad press in S24 has made some travellers look elsewhere in my opinion, but very positive comments about BHX this year so hopefully passenger confidence is being restored quickly.

No chance of BA long haul outside of London

Aer Lingus UK have publicly said they have no plans to open anymore UK bases. I still think (my opinion) that if the pax cap at Dublin gets raised they will move back to Dublin and end the UK part. All gone very quiet despite having a start date, times, flight numbers etc

2026 for BHX

Down 8% on July 2024, nothing to do with load factor ! I would be happy with that or 3 x A359's Expect August LF's to be around EK 95%, QR 98%, AI 86%, SV 74%

Manchester in June saw an average load of 427, so in theory if they had 3 daily HD 77W’s all pax could have been accomodated

EK in July was about 84% and QR was 93%

S26 is on sale but not from CWL or BHX

18m by 2030 and which stage the termainal will max out

BHX are predicting an extra 1m pax per year for next 5 years, so on that basis 15m by 31.03.27

I predict the 14m rolling year should be passed in March 2026 (hopefully) We then need a big push to get this up to 15m and then BHX becomes a 'large airport' in the Routes world. Ian
