No fumes but it would take a lot longer than that with the frequent stops to recharge there electric cars.Thats if they can as the national grid can just about cope at the moment. And if the wind is light forget it.vfffAs for the climate argument, would they rather have 180 people travelling all at once on a fuel efficient aircraft that is only in the air for a little over 30 mins, or 90 different cars (assuming the pax travel in twos) chugging up the motorway for 5 1/2 hours spewing out fumes?

Eke it out bit by bit. Keeps us all busy.There will be more
Dave - I don't know anything, but the A321 rumour and Wizz mentioning NY and BHX crying out for NY - you never know ?Ian .. twice you've mentioned Wizz A321 and USA. To me no chance but you seem to be the man...... getting us excited or ....
With Flybe now starting to cut routes (I’d be amazed if BHX gets away unscathed) and TCX seemingly in trouble I can’t help but wonder if EZY is starting to smell blood?
Very very evident just from the flight times that the route is built around the business traveller!
I’m excited to see some more orange at BHX
I'd imagine that the airport would be hoping that it would just give more choice to passengers and attract new ones. Easyjet will only operate 2 flights a day while Flybe will operate 6 for GLA (at the moment on Mondays it is). Many passengers will use both airlines no doubt for better flexibility. The risk for Flybe is that Easyjet will add more flights ie go up to say 4 daily. That could trash the route for them completely and destroy their yields and i think if that happended for both GLA and EDI then Flybe at BHX could be in doubt.These are the peak times that are most expensive on Flybe at the moment. I know there are still plenty of seats to be had on Flybe but EasyJet are basically taking the prime cuts here.
I hope this doesn't force Flybe out at BHX as they have routes that Easyjet probably never will.
To a certain extent this is a problem everywhere with Flybe's business model. As soon as they have enough traffic for multiple daily someone else can just come in an operate a larger plane on the route and take all of the customers. Really they could do with some 737s of A320s for their best routes and just use the Dash 8s on the smaller routes and off peak.
But isn't that what BHX fans and other airport fans want and i include myself in that? The replacement of airlines like Flybe with the big boy of Easyjet and it's attractive brand?Personally I think this is not a positive development and makes it less likely that we will get any new routes, just a gradual erosion of routes already provided by existing carriers to be serviced by LCCs and a knock on effect of less routes and frequencies as a whole.
And Wizz have ordered the A321XLR so it would seem they are interested in long haul from somewhere.
Just be careful what you wish for. The IOM welcomed EZY with open arms onto the LGW route where Flybe offered a four daily business schedule. At best they have two services a day now from EZY and not necessarily at a nice consistent twice daily business schedule.But isn't that what BHX fans and other airport fans want and i include myself in that?
