Air India has been allocated rights to operate nearly 20,000 weekly seats to Hong Kong, Dubai, Qatar, Singapore and the UK that were previously used by Jet Airways.
Civil aviation minister of state Hardeep Singh Puri disclosed the rights awards to Air India and its Air India Express unit in a written question to India's Rayja Sabha, which are temporary until the end of the 2019 scheduling season.

Tangential interest for BHX? Route diversions to us?!

Probably means they may add a Manchester route in the near future and extra Heathrow Delhi and Mumbai routes soon

Thank you so much Kelvin for the welcome and yes I really do hope that their fleet problems are sorted in the near future.

Welcome to forum SRDey

The right thing to do as Air India already operate from BHX is to launch BHX-BOM

I guess that would mean that Air India will take on at least some of Jet Airways fleet and staff.

Air India are staring Direct Flights from Kolkata to Dubai sadly on an A321 even thought Emirates flies twice daily 777-300ER’s to Kolkata. I’m glad Air India are starting more International routes from Kolkata hopefully Birmingham Direct to Kolkata & Mumbai soon

I’m confident BOM will be served at BHX irrelevant of Pax at MAN

It will and must be served NOW .We need to bring some Bollywood to Birmingham ASAP guys (I am one of the Biggest Bollywood Fans here ) it’s time to watch a few Bollywood Movies and learn some Songs and master some Dance moves Guys . We should should call the route and advertise it as The Bollywood Express .

Not just Mumbai but other Indian economic growth centres. Make BHX a gateway for India to UK traffic.

So am I !

Yes please!

 

[Ray Finkle]

I get the feeling that direct flights to BOM are now a 'when' rather than 'if'.

Aviation in India is having it's issues at the moment and with the potential for Iranian airspace to be added into the mix 'when' is anybodies guess.

Nick Barton was in India last month speaking with two airlines, lets hope that he had some success.

 

[rollo]

So is BOM the potential new route being suggested on the routes and rumors thread going east?

Sorry Mullion when you say ours who do you mean? I am confused as I would expect "ours" in a discussion on the BHX forum be referring to to BHX.

I am. I
