Birmingham: TUI Airways Flights, New Routes & Base Updates

Good to see. Never heard of Otopoa before. Not far from Bangkok. Maybr cheaper fees.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Both are nice destinations to see but they're just cruise charters.

It seems that the Thailand cruises will arrive and depart from Laem Chabang, so U-tapao may well have been much easier to get into than Suvarnabhumi.

I had a feeling they were cruise flights,
Yet that's two new destinations going on the departure board's in the winter,

Also good to know BHX are in their long haul plans👍

Its about time TUI gave us some proper growth (Long haul) and based the 2nd 787 at BHX on a perm basis. Or am i just in cloud cuckoo land ? 😗

B787 deliveries are 1 a year for next two years and both are B789 so not a lot of wriggle room

I also believe some 787 8s are going to Belgium as well?

Last time I checked the fleet listings only one 788 was due to go.

I think the only possibility of us seeing a second long haul aircraft is if there are any 788s left at LGW and they get replaced by the 789s coming in.

 

[mullion]

At the moment the B789 are split equally between LGW and MAN so it could be either

 

[mullion]

Forgot to add that B763 are due to go soon and have got to be replaced of which 2 are at MAN also

 

[GliderPilot]

Hate to be the one that says it but you really do like raining on any BHX parade don’t you mullion

I believe they are staying until 2021.

I believe they are staying until 2021.

Maybe the 787s will come to BHX then. 👍. Maybe

I think this is new but maybe wrong, perhaps old news?

TUI Airways UK during winter 2018/19 season plans to introduce several new short-haul sectors. Planned new addition includes the following.

Birmingham – Kuusamo 16DEC18 – 24FEB19 1 weekly 737-800

It became bookable in April through Crystal Ski ( I think I remember posting it on here when I was in Cornwall at Easter), it's not bookable as flight only though so easy to miss.

 

[Ray Finkle]

If anyone is interested Langkawi and U-tapao are now bookable as flight only.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Orlando will go 2x weekly for S20
