Cheers Ray. I need to jet off somewhere warm...okay Christmas Quiz: who officially opened Elmdon Airport and on what date?

I am doing a Trump and sending message at a ridiculous hour in the morning, but man flu keeping me awake. Enough of the sympathy campaign. I wish everyone a very happy Christmas. Been great being you the past year. Have a good one and enjoy.

As Thunder child and Ray have pretty much covered it, I am more humble and I would like to see any unserved Euro capital, Mumbai, somewhere in south america (the next big thing)...and Vancouver: my two favourite cities linked together would be great...oh and a shuttle to Southend so I back to me...

I am sticking with my 13,007,498. Ever the optimist. Just see 2017 being the City's year. Happy to be proven wrong and a higher figure be achieved.

Excellent news. good wine region. Re: excellent debate on routes and rumours page, I think monarch are a good long term growth partner for us. been quiet whilst they sort themselves out but they have stuck their neck out a bit with Stockholm and Porto, so maybe they will take the risk elsewhere...

A very interesting and worthwhile debate. for my tuppence, the problem with BHX is simply that it fails to maximise the catchment, but also that it serves what remains the part of the UK with the lowest propensity to fly and a population who are every conservative when it comes to destinations...

Thanks. coat hanger.

How coathanger. excuse my ignorance but what does uspbc mean? thanks in advance.

That is quite a leap from 2015 to 2016.aircraft equals destinations equals passengers. All good stuff.

Richard, in the UK builders put the storey number in big white lettering on the central core which is always the first part to go up. It is to inform the construction crew where they have got to. They could count I suppose. What I would like to see is the use of building site hoardings for...

The increasr in October this year over last year was greater than any month in 1977. Great figures once again.

Thanks Ray. Whilst I would not want to take anything away from EMA, it would be great to have a line up like that each night and see BHX as a major cargo hub. Impressive.

Hope you had a good break Ray. Nice shot with the Ryanair landing.I

Thanks Kevin. I see that they have updated September. Good to see us over the 100k movements again.

Brilliant video Ray. Cannot believe the bend on the Qatar 787's wings. Also like the use of losing the aircraft to the clouds to close down each take of shot.

Thanks for the article Ray. Clearly Brum always be in the best location for any national project. It will always be the most accessible place in the UK and if you look at history it has been at the Centre of the canal network, the rail network and motorway network. Crossroads was not called...

Honours even then at St A. It would have been unbearable for the former Sir Bruce to have won.

Well done Matt. Excellent stuff. No better way of digesting the scale of what is now going on. Reminds me of the old paper timetables the airport used to produce. Then of course, they were a lot shorter. Thank you for doing this.

Thanks for the link Kevin. However, the figures for Edinburgh must be wrong as the rolling year is shown as down 1.5% and below BHX. Hopefully the CAA will go back to publishing the numbers on a monthly basis.

Coathanger I agree with your comments, but LGW does and will need a new runway. It is a shame that such a decision was not taken now. As for the impact on BHX, I am not that bothered. It is the Midlands airport and will stand on its own two feet without the need to be a London airport...
