And didn't the AA JFK originate and terminate in Miami?

Sure did.
For a while the Continental EWR flights terminated and originated at LAX.

I see air Baltic have just announced services to Man ..... the BHX route development team even mentioned this particular airline/route as pretty much about to be a dead very - so another near thing I guess.... Which may just go to show how difficult it is to get new routes etc

They need to get their sights recalibrated as they seem to be aiming high and wide.Finnair and Air Baltic are therefore target airlines for us.”
They need to get their sights recalibrated as they seem to be aiming high and wide.
Below was from an interview at Routes 2018 along with 'massive potential to India' (still no Friday flight despite Tom Screen tweeting it was returning Sept), 'demand for flights to North America remaining strong' and BHX having 'a strong message to take to the airlines'.
“A major aim is to increase connectivity to European hubs,” Screen adds. “We have good connections to the likes of Amsterdam, Paris and Madrid, but we would like links to cities such as Helsinki and Riga, as well as more capacity to Munich. Finnair and Air Baltic are therefore target airlines for us.”
I take what they say with a large pinch of salt.
Personally I think its wrong for Tom Screen or the Marketing Team to actually name airlines they are talking to or trying to target, if we take Air Baltic for example, as soon as the comment was made, you can see airports like Manchester, contacting Air Baltic and saying, what ever Birmingham Airport is offering you, we will match it, or undercut the costs, give you a better discount etc...
Birmingham Airport is a laughing stock
Hi there Matt995, I fully agree with you, Birmingham Airport is light years behind Manchester, Heathrow and Gatwick, and the reason for this is that at the time when Manchester decided in the late eighties to expand, Birmingham Airport management just sat on the fence and did nothing, while Manchester and the rest forged ahead, then you won der why Heathrow is handling 70 plus million a year, Gatwick is doing 40 million a year, Manchester is doing 25 plus million a year, then you look at Birmingham Airport is struggling to achieve 13 million a year, and to think that Birmingham is the second city to London the capital with a population of 1,100,000, where Manchester has a population of over half a million, Birmingham Airport is a laughing stock. Even while this new ceo on board now is too late to do anything at all to catch even Luton Airport up on 15,000,000, and Luton runway is far shorter than Birmingham Airports.. Andyc
Population of a city doesn`t really matter its the area the airport covers, within 100 miles or so of BHX you have LHR,STN,LTN, EMA
and BRS and all easy to get to and most having the London airport pull so BHX are fighting a battle they can never win as airlines are
unwilling to split their Market

Everyone keeps going on about EZY - yet the largest low cost carrier in Europe, Ryanair, already has a base here. The airport needs to capitalise on that and get them to grow their operation here to more than just Spain and Poland. Find out why RYR aren't serving more destinations and then do something about it - it'll almost certainly be cheaper than what it would take to get EZY to open a base here!
