The based aircraft does nothing on Saturdays I was hoping for a little niche charter flight maybe Corsica/Sardinia but it may be a little late for Summer 2017 now.

According to seat maps BMI Regional will be temporarily using an E145 on the mid-morning flight for Brussels Airlines (SN2037/8) in June and July with codeshares.

Today we have two departures to Graz (BM1401 and BM1405). Wonder what the logic is behind that move.

Double daily on Monday was always the plan, just hope they have enough pax ?

 

[nwoody2001]

I can only assume they put double daily on because they couldn't move the required number of people with the JLR contract .... I imagine the flights with be full on both flights BHX-GRZ on Mondays and equally full on GRZ-BHX Thursday and Friday ....however, I imagine you could pick up an amazing deal for a weekend break in the other direct ...BHX-GRZ OF Thursday/Friday I suspect will be a lot quieter, as will GRZ-BHX on the Monday flights!

Are their no Austrian based personnel doing the journey in reverse?

a nice little operation BMIR are starting to build. Lets hope they are able to grow in supporting other niche/thin routes in the future, the likes of Derry and Hamburg being prime examples I would have thought....

 

[nwoody2001]

I don't know if this has been picked up by anyone else but looking at the timetable today it would appear that the BHX-NUE route has had its capacity cut over the summer. It was always advertised as 6x weekly (similar to GOT) but it would appear that at the moment the timetable says its 4x weekly, increasing to 5x weekly in Sept and back to 6x weekly in Nov....

GRZ and GOT seem to be unaffected...

It is peak summer though woody so probably to be expected at these quieter business times of the year.

Remember when SAS operated BHX-ARN, they hardly flew the aircraft into BHX in July/August.

oh im sure of it, I was just surprised this hadn't been picked up

Looking to recruit Cabin Crew to be based at BHX!

I have no ideas if this just to support their existing operation or with an aim of growing but a good sign of investment in the airport....

 

[IanFarquharson]

Should see additional based unit with three new routes (as I eluded too last week)

 

[BHX492]

I said it bmi regional last week but I think no one saw it

 

[Ianbutty]

What are the new routes? New to BMI or new to BHX?
Good news that they have the confidence in the city.

 

[58terminus]

What are the new routes? New to BMI or new to BHX?

From what i know about their fares i doubt any new routes would be in competing with an existing carrier.
Wouldn't be surprised if Derry was one of them.

 

[Ray Finkle]

One is a route already operated by another airline, the other two are currently unserved but have been in the past
