Birmingham: Airline, Airport and Route Advertising

[TheLocalYokel]

Just had our Solihull Observer delivered and in there is a whole page readers short breaks advert, places like Prague, Edinburgh to name but two.
All flights from BRISTOL !!
This kind of thing really annoys me

To restore some element of composure, the West of England edition of the Metro newspaper has featured full-page adverts for Jet2 flights out of BHX on more than one occasion in recent weeks.

And so he should be, it is really great for CWL and this part of the UK

Im rather Jel as BHX hasnt even seen an A350, not that im a fan of the A350 but it would be good for BHX spotters

There was another advert today in the West Country edition of Metro listing all the Jet2 flights from BHX.

They do appear to be on top of their game when it comes down to advertising. Could be a clever ploy by Jet 2 to
make people think about their travel plans this year,maybe pick up a few more customers from BHX and more importantly people know the name if they intend to set up a base in that area.

I think any Jet2 presence south of BHX is some years away. I'm not sure how far north the West Country edition of the Metro reaches. It might be as far as Gloucester/Cheltenham whose residents I think regard BHX as their local airport. Nevertheless, these BHX Jet2 Metro adverts certainly find a wide audience on the buses around Bristol.

Who knows? A couple of years ago their presence south of EMA seemed unlikely.

If we remember back to THAT advertisement it did state that there would be three new bases. Surely a matter of when rather than if?

Jet2's comment about three new bases came before Monarch disappeared (did Jet2 ever say it was them or was it an assumption based on BHX and STN being chosen?). Jet2 not only filled the gap but have grown at a tremendous pace at BHX and STN. This growth has presumably taken all the available new aircraft and probably those in the pipeline, if there are any at present.
