Route Development & Rumours

[Jerry]

Not quite, they've been a fully functional, successful, profitable and growing airlines for over the last decade. They maybe stating up in BHX but they aren't a startup!!!

EU airline?

 

[thunderchild]

Air Baltic will certainly tick all the right boxes
- New to transatlantic (although they did used to do charters to New York with the 757s)
- New airline to Birmingham
- Do not serve Manchester
- Not part of an alliance

If it is Air Baltic they can throw in Riga too!

Transavia, Transavia France, Travel Service, Atlantic Airways or Volotea are the only other ones I can think of.

I thought we were looking at an A321 operator?

They could always lease some

Not Air Baltic

Wednesday's and Thursday's generally seem to be the favoured days for announcements. I really hope that we see something tomorrow, imagine waiting another week

Although it would be good for the post count

I have stayed out of this farrago, just content to sit back and wait for an announcement. However, for those much keener than i to get to the truth, why not change tack.

Instead of trying to find the airline, why don't you try and find the country where it is based?

Germania ?

Germania ?

I don't think any of the above have any A321neo's on order...

The more this goes on the more I hope we are deliberately being misled as to not guess the airline in question before an official announcement is made. I think every major European airline going has now been ruled out which leaves us with an apparent little known and unaligned carrier which is planning to set up long haul from a regional airport in a foreign country to destinations that have either never been served, can't get above one weekly in the summer months or dropped by two major legacy carriers.

I sincerely hope that I'm proven wrong but with all the avaliable evidence I'm really not confident in how this will play out.

The BIG announcement is TOMORROW !

Remember that whoever it is may lease the aircraft. This information may yet be in the public domain.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case. Some of the later guesses people have been making have left me thinking "why on earth would they launch long haul from Birmingham?". Hopefully not long to find out now!

The BIG announcement is TOMORROW !

 

[Barry Beeth]

The BIG announcement is TOMORROW !

And what are we supposed to do after we find out?
It'll be like trying to find something on telly the day after the World Cup final!
