Hi there Karl C, I understand your point, but my issue, is that this huge mistake in the 90s, has cost the airport in passenger numbers, investment late been implemented, local economy has had a major impact on the area. If these investments had been done in the 90s, Birmingham airport would...

The airport management in the 90s, messed up, but they don't want to admit there failure, why should they. Then the airport cried wolf, because they couldn't afford to put the runway over the A45, Coventry Road as too expensive. So the executive board of the 90s, including ex-boss Tilsley, plus...

Hi there Ray, I fully understand what you're saying, yes the runaway did finally arrive in 2014, but the serious valid point I'm making, that if local funding was available in 1992, why did the airport executive board including the council, not apply for the funding at the time to put the A45...

Hi there all, as I mentioned in my previous posts about lost opportunities for Birmingham airport in the 90s, there was an local incitive called Advantage West Midlands agency was created by Central government as a funding tool for all regional and local businesses to help to create and expand...

Hi there all, after just looking at an overall view of Birmingham airport, I know why Birmingham airport isn't handling tens to hundreds of thousands of more passengers, because it made the costly decision of closing its 2nd, Shorter runway. Instead of maintaining it along side of main runway...

Hi there all, regarding the route development team at Birmingham airport, it really makes me wonder, as to what they do all day, mode and function of business is, we are a bigger airport than Glasgow or Edinburgh, yet Edinburgh seems to be doing very well thank us, flights to the US. I wonder...

Hi there all, just been doing some checking and researching, I think that Birmingham airport is losing out on 35 potential new routes that should already be using the airport from Athens, Mexico, Algeria, Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Beijing, Belgrade, Seattle, Tokyo, Chicago, Miami...

Hi there all, new route, St Petersburg, Athens, Cairo, Abu Dhabi, Sydney, Hong Kong, China, Japan.

Hi there all, are there any months in the year, where there's less than 1,000,000 , passengers using the airport, why is this and how can this be improved.

Hi there Ian, my post about Birmingham airport management, goes back to when the current terminal was built, land was available to acquire and to extend the runway, yet no opportunities were taken, just sat on fence without looking at airports like heathrow or Gatwick, instead Birmingham airport...

Hi there Rollo, unfortunately I have to disagree on your pointless View, in comparison between Birmingham and Gatwick. The realistic view I see is that Birmingham Airport management over the last 20 or 30 haven't taken the realistic future vision to where there airport should be, sitting on the...

Hi there all, I have just checked Easyjet at Gatwick for scheduled flights, compared to bhx, there are 43 potential routes that could be served from Birmingham airport as well.

Hi there all, wasn't quite as aware that Gatwick Airport has 70 plus scheduled yearly fights with Easyjet, compared too 32 plus scheduled flights from Birmingham airport, that amount, puts Birmingham airport in a small corner, with no comparison, also leaves Birmingham airport way behind in...

Hi there Ian, I'm not surprised at that,capacity in Istanbul, only 42,000, less than at Villa Park, Villa play.

Hi there Ian, are those flights just for Turkey today. Hi there Ian, are those all Turkish airlines for today and tomorrow, if so, that about 15 thousand passengers, going to be final istanbul, well that's a lot for one day, they could have watched it at the Utility Arena for 65 pounds.

Hi there Ray, the trouble with master plans, is in Birmingham airport case, they keep amending them, then the last one confused a lot of people. Also excuse my spelling comas and full stops, as only just had two cataracts completed recently, one in jan26 and the other in apr26. So for 53 years I...

I really think that any chances of any direct flights from bhx to USA has a very 0 chances occuring, whether it's to do with it's closeness to Manchester Airport or Heathrow Airport. Why pay a Chief Executive Officer, like Mr Nick Barton,£550,000, per year, for a bucket and spade operation is...

Hi there all, if you come Manchester airport to Birmingham airport, Manchester airport wins hands down, because it's business model is completely wrong, charging on the weight of aircraft and passengers, compared to Manchesters airports , any size aircraft in this price. Then you can understand...

Hi there all, any ideas what the passenger numbers could be at the end of year, another record set, then ready to set another record.

Hi there all, regarding this year's passenger numbers, I think that this years stats will need to be deleted due to current middle eastern situation. Birmingham Airports passenger numbers are going to be hit badly, so I think that this year now is to scrap and focus on 2027 instead.
