    I have to say none of those three routes impresses me in the least, even when someone on netters states they are each a third bigger than London in population. They remain a magnitude less value or economically active than many much smaller European cities in fact. I think the Tianjin routes...

    Air India are very well aware of the potential market size - CAPA and other analysts provide them with such analysis (at a price) . They also have historical data plus data from travel agent and consolidator regional bookings via FRA/LHR at hand. Absolutely no need to "test" the market with a...

    Until recently Barcelona has two Singapore departures going east on some days exactly because of the tag to/from Brazil on several days a week whilst others services operated via Milan.

    Pakistan International Airlines

    Isn't the third NYC rotation something of a seasonal thing ? Pakistans long haul schedules are evidence of a lack of good management imho. They really need to rationalise on Islamabad as the point of entry/exit with regional feed from Karachi /Lahore Peshawar and Sialkot. Rather than as is...

    Manchester: CAA Provisional Statistics Update

    Just a quick heads up right now Monarch has just three scheduled departures from the UK left today to Ibiza from Manchester/Gatwick and Birmingham. If these leave on time and back over night by 7.30am ALL the fleet should back in the UK real tragedy emerging if true.

    A company is obligated to trade up until the following are activated at the SAME time for a PLC a statement to the city and appointment of the receivers. This typically happens about 7.30 UK time for many GB businesses. The elephant in the room here in Grey Bull they may be about to pull the...

    User001 think it likely MT/DE will be looking at a group long haul purchase pretty soon - Probably a 339 imo. To replace the 763/753 and 332 frames . Could still see a single long haul scheduled brand "Condor" develop. With the Air Berlin troubles and Lufthansa looking at some of the business...

    Those Condor 753 frames are supposed to be replacing the 763 frames as far as i understand it so those routes to Larnaca Paphos Tenerife Antalya and Hurghada rather than being deployed on the TALC scheduled network

    Couldn't disagree more Theresa has the security of the UK very much at the centre of her thinking on this (none aviation) issue - I certainly support the need to protect energy supplies and nuclear is a part of that , however allowing the Chinese to get involved in our production is VERY...

    Iraqi Airways

    According to a German publication Iraqi Airlines are/have regained authority to fly to the UK Sweden and Germany with own aircraft and in fact an A320 YI-ASB operated BGW-MMX-LGW-ISU with scheduled flight number today. Its my understanding that they were excluded because of mx record...

    United Airlines

    I am afraid because of the need to fill the back of as many as thirty flights a day from the London area to NYC there is considerable price dumping via the consolidators. This effects the viability of many UK and near EU airports abilities to compete fairly on direct services to the/from New...

    Manchester: Emirates News & Flight Discussion

    Manchester has a daily trucks from Amsterdam inbound, and outbound to Dublin/Cork and Shannon and several to Birmingham. As ever many of those UK bound boxes find themselves ejected in the low countries and loaded on 40 tonne wheels for a days roading ! Question does this dynamic change when...

    Again why would their paymaster LH endorse such feed via Warsaw when they would surely prefer you via FRA/MUC ? No it's seriously a matter of price and operating costs - LOT are too high to compete with the likes of Ryanair Easy and Wizz for that regular commuter traffic ! Dusseldorf works as...

    LOT flew regularly from Manchester with summer charters in the seventies and schedules through the eighties and nineties then entered a short codeshare arrangement with BA Regional who took over the service . They returned briefly went into serious financial difficulties LH bailed them out and...

    Birmingham: Route Development & Rumours

    Where did i dumb down the possibility of a Norwegian base at all - just a reasoned critic of what can or can't be expected based on legal realties and niceties .BTW all those factors and restrictions also apply at that other regional airport said to be in the running. Other possibility that...

    Birmingham: Route Development & Rumours

    Gentlemen with regards to a Norwegian base just stop a minute and analyse some of your suggestions as some aren't even possible due to the bi-laterals and relevant fifth/sixth freedoms. They can't serve Canada from the UK or even the most of the Caribbean (French/Dutch isles that are EU members...

    American operated Chicago year round with an MD11 and later 767 for many many years through late 80,90s and millennial. American even went two daily at some point and had two carriers with bmi competing for several years. However American have weakened the hub in recent years compounded with...
