An Air China B744 is due Edinburgh Friday 29th at 13.00hrs from Beijing. It returns to Xi'an at 15.00hrs. This info via the dried fruit forum.
 
Hi there all, so again, why is Birmingham Airport missing out on these long haul flights again, even if its only just cargo, surely Birmingham Airport management can make a deal for this to happen.. Andyc
 
I would think BHX management have more pressing problems at the moment othet than chasing one off cargo flights.
Like trying to salvage some of the network they had before the crisis.
I see Brussels Airlines have announced their planed timetable comencing next month.
BHX is not on it. That is 45! European destinations they regard as better options than BHX.
A fair indication of where BHX's position is in the pecking order at the moment..
 
Discover our new 2020 summer network!
The gates to the sky are finally reopening! We couldn’t be happier to announce our summer network, with 59 destinations in Europe, Africa and the US gradually opening between 15 June and 31 August. A network to meet our customers’ needs.

Make sure to keep an eye on our flight offer: more destinations starting from September will be added soon!


September at the earliest then? Maybe another airline feeling they can "serve" the Midlands via Heathrow and Manchester?
 
Are BRUSSELS part of Lufthansa group, the entity that has accepted a bailout by the German government? May be Brussels Airlines will maintain service.

I still think of them as SABENA.

Yes Brussels Airlines is part of the Lufthansa group.

However it is Lufthansa the airline, not the group, that is getting a bailout from the German government - i.e. the money can't be used to help other airlines in the group.
 
Hi there 58terminus, there is no need to just down my throat, I was only just generally asking a question, that's all... Andyc

Brussels Airlines are downsizing to a fleet of 38, so BHX have done well to keep them !
This has always one of BHX's most profitable routes with high yields
They are 100% coming back, I think 01.09.20
 
Just heard on BBC television Midlands Today that there will be no financial assistance offered by the ownership to ease the company through the lockdown..this just proves to me that BHX is just a play thing for the councils, a sufferance to be tolerated if you like. Is insolvency the likely outcome?
 

I guess it depends on if they need any financial support or if there is enough set aside to see them through.

The article doesn't suggest that help has been asked for and refused, just that there are 'no plans'.

More detail needed I think.
 
I can't believe it! My internet connection tripped out one minute and one second before launch. It came back on 30 seconds after launch.
Enjoyed watching the rest of it though. Amazing technology and a textbook launch. Crew Dragon can seat up to seven astronauts which is a big step up from the Russian Soyuz vehicle (though it has to be said that has been a very reliable machine).
