    Turkish Airlines

    Wouldn’t agree the current alignment has increased risk , results in loss of traffic and operational penalties to the airlines. Effective use of 10,000’ with crosswind margins means aircraft can’t actually take advantage over the previous strip length for increase payload/range much of the time...

    Don’t get your hopes up - These events are generally a damp squib in reality . As other have said athletes especially the top label ones will arrive under their own steam. Compete and move on. Most of the commonwealth teams are quite small and some have competitors on one event ! The...

    Birmingham: Route Development & Rumours

    Easyjet may well be a far better option (if they remember where Birmingham is) or even dare i say TUi twice a week, for the smells of sulphur, ice and snow, a chance to see Bjork or Lay Low and all whilst having your pocket fleeced experience .

    Birmingham: Route Development & Rumours

    Because its a bum business model yet to be successful isn’t it ? WOW Primera even Norwegian hasn‘t worked out how to actually make money with the Max/321 over the ocean ! Aer Lingus and TAP on the other hand have gone with a balanced approach with a fair amount of premium capacity increasing...

    Thomas Cook

    Seems to me they are leveraging the group debt onto the airline spreadsheet and handing it to the banks and the Chinese with as much of the ownership % the regulations allow and to manage a reasonable selling price for the airline a few months down the line. Sale is certain in this situation...
