    I’d say returning flag carrier could be any of Alitalia, Aeroflot or LOT Long haul Thai and or even Air India ( falls into the flag carrier territory as well)

    Star Alliance Carriers

    Nice work David . For an airport without a resident Star A carrier that’s an impressive network me thinks ! Four continents and one stop to fifth via Singapore and sixth via Lisbon . True global coverage right there . Weak in the med but that’s covered via a multitude of flexible fares and...

    Matt quite possibly; Those Trade Air Croatians and Romanian Carpatair ones do a lot of subbing and turn up just about anywhere including Birmingham

    Star Alliance Carriers

    Hi this is something for David but also others . On the blue site our former contributor LHRLAX and User has posted a comment about Lufthansa group operations in the coming winter period with a scheduled to upgrade the Munich routes by one extra flight per day. That said what about the draw...

    BH Air/Balkan Holidays

    That BH AIR A332 or probably bits of it by now lie just a a few miles to the west of Rhoose and at a certain ex military establishment and it has been there since March 2017 I believe !

    BH Air/Balkan Holidays

    BH ,Fly Bulgaria and Bulair are all part of the same group of companies with cross fleet usage pretty much a given. The entire group isn’t exactly large Currently BH has just LZ-BHI with their other two in Saudi.

    Aircraft broken at Frankfurt inbound LH948 cancelled however since Lufthansa rather more customer focused than a certain airline with an ensign on the tail,they have this evening canned LH917 out of Heathrow and positioned D-AIWD up to Manchester to cover the early morning LH949 highly valued...

    Birmingham: Route Development & Rumours

    Oh Capital should of course be that rather odd Virgin/Delta Shobarts and Luxembourg financiers business Connect my bad ! BTW those Luxembourg based financiers have a habit of bailing soon a a bit of profit can be rebanked so that 40% holding ain’t gonna remain the same over the mid term imho.

    Birmingham: Route Development & Rumours

    I think I got across to sense of the argument above and apologies for several typos and auto corrects in the text Notably Stanstead is Stansted I know ! Some of the - the to and that should be read as applicable - bit of dyslexian effect there ! Lager should be larger in respect of the...

    Birmingham: Route Development & Rumours

    Ian the airport is a business in its own right and passengers passing through the doors and retail facilities and freight through the sheds make their money. BTW those holiday makers at the MAG and GIP owned airports on your door spend far more cash than the average business man traveller...

    Emirates

    Jenny don’t fret the 380 heavy weight 615 seater two class frames will be around for at least another decade and the 779 is yet to even come out of the sheds ! Technically Emirates has orders on the 350 series from transferred 380 deposits and options on the 787 thought to be regional 78J...

    Birmingham: Route Development & Rumours

    Personally those who were discussing Philadelphia over JFK are on to something imho. Philadelphia would support substantial cargo up lift and has a substantial bio science O&D market ideal for marketing in Oxford , Milton Keynes and even as far Cambridge for Birmingham. It’s now AMERICANs...

    Birmingham: Route Development & Rumours

    Brumx - KLM have been active in taking UK passengers back and forth over the Atlantic since the 1960s . They have extensive knowledge and presence in this market space. Even during the heady days of UK- Canadian VFR travel in the seventies they were the third biggest scheduled player with their...

    Birmingham: Route Development & Rumours

    The engine issues have nothing to do with it; More rather the archaic seating capacity limits within the bilaterals AND a sudden realisation that deploying a narrow body with an intermediate stop would be burning wedges of money, when competing with Air India Jet and BA none stop UK flights oh...

    58 terminus that is exactly what IAG has planned . The have the opportunity to move resources round the group very quickly and cheaply by simply changing the wrap over the tail and fuselage transfers from one brand to another .
