According to a Congress MP Air Canada are to start flights to Amritsar after securing a bilateral agreement. It sounds as if it could be direct but it would be nice if it dropped in at BHX on the way to and from India.

This should at least make them consider it.

Air India had sprung a surprise by discontinuing its Amritsar-Birmingham-Toronto flight, which was termed by many as the most successful flight in the annals of the national carrier’s history. The flight, which used to witness over 90 per cent occupancy, was withdrawn on October 31, 2010.

Other than yourself Ray, I seems my subtle hint has been missed by others.

Maybe Westjet could give it a go when they get their Dreamliners in 2019, I would love to see it return.

Maybe others will catch on soon

I saw it Kevin

Well unless Easyjet or Ryanair try it, then maybe someone could give it a go, but, they seem to be slowing down on their crazy route launching sprees of late.

Would it fly between BHX and Lisbon by any chance?

 

[Jerry]

I think i guessed it if i'm correct they already fly to Faro from several other airports in the UK but not Lisbon. If it is them then hopefully BHX isn't the only airport they are looking at operating it from!

I guess you're looking at Flybe then Jerry.

My apologies, gentlemen. I seem to have been too hasty in judgement, following the replies after my post.

Nicely hinted, Ian!

No worries Kevin, maybe Sunday night blues!

Hi there Ray and all, as its been mentioned about flybe, is there this suggestion that they may be thinking of starting long haul or am I reading this wrong, can someone please correct me if I'm wrong.... AndyC

I don't think Flybe will be starting long haul any time soon. More than likely they may look at med city routes with their E jets.

Just out of interest Andy, whatever made you think Flybe may be starting Longhaul ?

An update on the Brum X "Easyjet please come to BHX campaign"

Brum X asked
Now that Monarch have sadly gone, are BHX in talks with Easyjet ?

BHX replied
Hi Alan, We cannot reveal any negotiations that go on until new airlines or routes are officially confirmed and then we can make these kind of announcements.

 

[Ianbutty]

Brum X. Good ruse. One to decode.
