So, LHR only. Government has chickened out. LGW should also have been included. But this is a decision on a new runway on the south east so it does not rule out growth in other regions. If I was PK I would continue with plans for BHX and the tie in with HS2. Let's fight our own corner of the...

Whatever the arguments over LHR Law what is clear is when it comes toong term infrastructure planning this country is a basket case. London has 6 International airports. They have 7 runways. Paris has 2 International airports and 7 runways. If LHR is the chosen one then I fear that LTN...

Excellent news. New start and a good new route. Getting there.

The Transport Secretary of State will make the announcement at 12.30 on Tuesday 25 October.

Brings back good memories. Excellent photos. Thanks for sharing them and all the effort you went through.

Andy, sorry but my wording was misleading. The ambition of my prediction is based on growth we already know, plus, I hope, some more announcements. I just feel that a tremendous 2016 and a steady growth in 2017, plus the continued confidence in the city and region, coupled with at last a...

Confident and some big announcements are due, plus heavy fog in Feb closes LHR, so going with 13,007,498.

Sorry 15.8% not 15.1% in my easier post. Thanks for copying the whole press release jfy. Pretty significant growth. I was thinking kinda going maybe 12% last month. Given the growth here and at other regional airports the governments will be as bonkers as a Donald to go with just Heathrow.

1.2 million. +15.1%. Good numbers.X

Another record. https://www.birminghamairport.co.uk/media-information/news

Oh dear. Best be nice then. Fora like this is a very useful resource. I have learned one heck of a lot from this forum. We all contribute differently depending on our interest and it comes together in a pretty good body of expertise, insight and vision. So they would be wise to pop in once...

Thanks Ian. See what arrives tomorrow. Next time you see Paul...if he wants a master planner give me a call. Also thank him for all the great work.

Any news on the September numbers yet?

I think you are right Ray. BHX has not been completely ruled out as an option. The airport would be wise to start planning now even if it is a long term option. Looking at that area the challenges are huge. If it was not for the impact on residential areas the old option of a new runway...

Well done monarch. Keeps Britain's oldest airline flying. Pleased for all involved.

The value of the pound is really playing in the mind of the transatlantic carriers. The drop looks long term and general nervousness ahead of the US Election. I doubt if many carriers will be expanding anytime soon. Shame.

Quite a swipe at the WMCA or whatever it is called. I am not even sure about Greater Birmingham. You don't, after all hear about Greater Barcelona or Greater New York. The brand is one word: Birmingham. Hope PKs tenure is a successful one. Busy man.

Just love the video. Food an important thing factor for the one filming. Great route round BHX to the gate. We need the remote pier built urgently. With so many based aircraft I can see a queue for the gates at peak AM. That will not be good. Shudder to think if we had to take diversions at...

Won't be the first time Ryanair have said o e thing and done the other.
