If you have another season like the last one, I worry what the reward will be. But the beauty of being a Villain or a Bluenose we are eternal optimist. So I believe we will see at least 5 daily Atlantic crossings in each direction to the US and Canada in 2017 and build from there. Boston is a...

Eye watering but still popular and still going. Makes you wonder how the US market will open up when a Low cost airline starts crossing the pond.

Watch wheeler dealers for an excellent Isetta refurbishment. All fabricated for TV stuff, but a great result. Re: the Commonwealth Games, bidding should be a no brainer for Birmingham. If they don't then the city should give up all hope of ambition. Come on let's just damn well do it! And bid...

Shame to see them go. Always only looked good in KLM blue.

Looks good. My post brexit blues lifted. With at least 590,000 new jet2 seats and plenty more new routes this year to come, as Ray has pointed out, bodes well.

What ever happen to the remote pier option? I think the airport need to look again at that.

As I started this debate with my airline stocks down post last friday perhaps I can qualify my concern. I hope that I am wrong, but... ...UK airports are booming. As they are in other countries. BHX also booming. Happy days. :) However, a key driver of that growth is emerging economies and...

Airline stocks down massively. If we leave the EU expect a slump in traffic...nationally. if we leave...

Happy days. Here's to our Euro roots remaining...

We have a walk of fame...who would you name a tram after?

Flipping heck! I take an afternoon nap and whilst doing so the world looks like it has flown into Brum. I think I will take another one... ....thunder child mentioned what happens if LHR gets a third runway, I would suspect not a great deal as far as BHX and regional airports are concerned...

Like Carson Yeung, time to forget about it and move on. I am more interested now in developing BHX to capital cities, economic centres and long haul tourism out west and southwards. Plus, how can we get the city to be brave and go get the Commonwealth Games.

11.1% that all. My 17.6% a tad off the mark. Maybe the French industrial action put peo....what the heck. 11.1% is great in anyone's book. CAA annoying me in no longer publishing their provisional data.

The designation no longer exists, but whilst it did, Manchester was the only English destination other than Heathrow and Gatwick for scheduled long haul flights. For years only Prestwick had that designation I Scotland, until Glasgow launched a legal challenge in the 1980's. Hence MAN had a...

User. I am sorry for myths but anything with George Osbourne's involvement stinks to me. I am sure that the MAN team worked hard and my comments were not to them. I agree if it was a PR coup then it was a very well orchestrated one by the British government at the time. Birmingham needs to...

Whilst I welcomed the news on the flights, I had doubts. We were lined up with Hainan, then the government, Osbourne in particular, grovel to the Chinese, Manchester is suddenly announced, with am I right to recall, a £12 million grant of some sort, and bang BHX misses out. After a lengthy...

I wonder how sales were going? We're they undermining other sales? These things happen. I agree with Ray, long term probably for the better.

I am a bluenose also. Both brum clubs owned by the Chinese. Good job with have flights there. Could not help but notice that there was mention of a Spaceport in the Queen's speech yesterday. Just a thought....needs a long runway. Central location......

Read in the i today, that Icelandair offering bookings from BHX ( amongst others) to Montreal via Reykjavik. They have seen the potential of the Midlands to Montreal market.

From 9.7 m 2014 to 12 m 2 1/4 years later! 23.7% increase. My 17.6% for May is looking reasonable.
