They pulled out at short notice around the same time as American and United just before Primera sort of turned up but we've had that discussion on here before.

Was the door shut or just pulled to?

Icelandair seemed to leave in a hurry. Was this because they were upset with BHX for some reason? Their monthly pax figures had been falling but the planned introduction of the 737MAX (yes, I know - that's another story) would have been ideal and possibly allowed for a more frequent service.
I would like to see them back due to their convenient links to the USA.

Birmingham International needs Uzbekistan Airlines- demand is high and having them with Asian Community Needs and connections to India and Pakistan they will be very busy. (Birmingham Airport should have kept original airport design and the second runway and invested in new airport terminals I am not sure why they have silly car parking facilities high charges a small terminal we need more space) Airlines need to stay in BHX - and NOT leave- love you all at Birmingham International Airport love you my dears x x x

Not arguing against you at all just trying to point out that three airlines all major players in their markets to USA all cleared off at the same time and now we have diddly, maybe it's my terminology.
Regular flights to Iceland would be great for us.

I do think Icelandair will be back at some point but the 737MAX issue will probably mean not in the near future

I know it’s been reported elsewhere that Jet2 bought the ex TC slots, but this is the first article I’ve read of easyjet getting hold of some

This is also the first mention, I believe, of easyJet buying Manchester slots.

So maybe we might be getting something based here in the near future?

Why would I look at Manchester? I’m interested in BHX

On the Manchester forum it's believed that the reporter has got mixed up and made a mistake. Easyjet bought slots at LGW and BRS while Jet2 bought slots at BHX, MAN and STN.
I read all posts in all threads, then I get an overall idea of what is happening and hopefully lead to developing my interest. I can highly recommend it to all members.
