Airline, Airport and Route Advertising

I have always throught Birmingham should focus on the BHX name, lets face it everyone knows what LAX is why not do the same, flyBHX sounds great !

I agree, BHX kinda sounds cool. Its not a normal airport code.

The relentless Jet2 campaign continues with them now also advertising next years new routes. I only caught the end of the ad but I think Croatia and Almeria were mentioned.

Hi there ray and all, I totally agree with what you're saying, I think jet2 are really going to town with their advertising and marketing ploy, because they are really taking birmingham airport by the scruff of the neck, by setting a new base at birmingham airport, where they really do want to succeed, and I do hope they do succed , because at present , if in the two to three years of growing and expanding, birmingham airport passenger figures will have ballooned because of jet2. But on the other hand why is a new like jet2 showing more interest in expansion, where the other existing airlines are just sitting on the fence and doing nothing to help new growth in providing new routes.

Jet2 are definitely the main driver but I think many of the others are also chipping in, this summer at least.

Thomas Cook have introduced four new routes this year with another three coming in 2018. Thomson have four new routes with three of those long haul. Monarch have seven new routes this year. British Airways return with four new routes. Eurowings have two new routes, Ryanair have four, BMI Regional three, Flybe have some new charters and we have one new route each from Blue Air, Vueling and Fly One.

Was rather surprised to hear an advert for Air Transat on the radio today. Two within half an hour. First one was advertising flying direct from BHX to YYZ this summer. The other one mentioned flying from BHX to Calgary and Vancouver (assume this is via YYZ as they didn't specifically mention direct).

I'm hearing Aer Lingus adverts in every break on the radio, they are heavily promoting their USA services via Dublin.

I'm also seeing lots of online advertising for Cobalt's Birmingham flights. It's because I've been on their website a few times recently but definitely good to see

Thomson have a page about Birmingham in their on board magazine.

New for 2017, Goa, Thailand and.......Florida???

Good to see though

Could somebody from the council find out who was responsible and offer them a job?

Reminds me of that incident on twitter a few months back when Thomson said they didn't serve Orlando from BHX

It was actually BHX themselves which i quickly put right

Yes of course you are right. It would be very disconcerting if Thomson said they didn't fly somewhere when they actually did

Hi guys. Today has been the first day I've seen advertising for Primera Air for the launch of New York & Boston on electronic boards in Birmingham City Centre.

Sorry no photographs as I was driving.

Good to see though.
