Route Development & Rumours

PIA won't feature until they get the all clear from the CAA. So perhaps February announcement for a late March/early April start for them

Really random question but it is relevant to this thread.

Do you need a gcse or a degree to work in route development?

I would imagine that those recruited directly into route development would have a relevant background in e.g. sales or would have worked through other jobs in the airport.

I think that, these days, GCSEs, at least, would be required. Those in prominent jobs, such as route development in a largish airport, would surely have experience relevant to the task. They are likely to be graduates.

Are we expecting any likely new routes announcements this week?

you have already asked this on Sunday, in post 9099 Ant!! - I don't expect any announcements for a while now, you really need some patience, route news can all come along at the same time, or it could go very quiet for months on end! - I doub't many people on here really know when new routes will be announced, only the airline or airports will be privy to this information!
 
Next one October 2025 :)

Matt is right. We all share the same passion and enthusiasm, and logon here each day to see if there are any snippets of news. Alas, at the announcement season is pretty much done and folks far closer to the news are saying that's it for now folks

What is great, and I eat humble pie, is that we are back to pre-covid levels...I said it will be a decade....within 5 years. I would love nothing more to have the business city to business city network of days of yore back, but the economics do not work. If another airline announces and extra rotation to Málaga or Corfu, then frankly that is where the demand lies and I will have to just shut myself up.

What is critical is how the airport can define the city and the region and be the shop window for people coming in, and a safe, convenient and easy to use terminus for people off on their hols.

The future is looking good and greater folk have hinted at enough big announcements that the team are working tirelessly on.

A great announcement, however, a few years on these forums has stripped away all my optimism! 2027 is still quite a way away yet, and I'd imagine this would be served by a narrow body rather than a widebody as pictured!

Hope to be proven wrong on both fronts. Exciting if it comes to fruition

Hi, I was born and lived in B36 for a long time - Lindale Avenue, just around the corner from Hodge Hill Comp.
I just noticed your postcode on a post.

Do you still live in the area?

49 trips undertaken last year. First done this year which was to North Wales where surprisingly the only slippery surfaces were in Conwy with the castle and it's walls closed due to the ice.
