Route Development & Rumours

Going East.... Amsterdam 8 times daily?

Norwich 5 x daily

 

[Aviador]

Oh gawd.Here we go again
Is it good news for spotters or the people who would to use the airport if the routes were available and are not in the least concerned about what aircraft they are on?
Is soon being used in the same context as a Bham City Council or Highways Authority construction project?

The good folk of Leeds would give anything to have on offer what Birmingham airport has. I appreciate there's more than can be achieved but Rome wasn't built in a day.

No but it did burn down in 9

Hi there all, if it is Cathay Pacific, then that is a massive coup, flying into Hong Kong airport, wow, like landing on a stamp, also with a population of 7,450,000 million people... Let's just wait and see for the announcement to come, then the hard work starts in keeping it and making it work... Andyc

To be honest more chance of the ghost of VLM restarting Antwerp for 5 minutes via Aberdeen, can't see Cathy at all.

 

[GliderPilot]

Must be IndiGo or Spicejet if its anything Long Haul, Cathay seems really unlikely to me at the minute? Prove me wrong pretty pleaseeee

I think any good news is good & after recent disappointments I think we should be pleased with anything....that is good. I just hope if it is a new route it’s not already served by a carrier.

Emirates re-instating the morning service? Realistically the only I thing I can see going east at the moment.

To be honest I’ve lost track of the number of times we’ve been told good news” coming soon. I’m not holding my breath.

Seconded. How many times have we gained a new airline, only for them to last a few seasons and then have them leave BHX.

Good news coming soon? Apparently so but when 'soon' is, who knows!

I have said it before and got a bit of a slating but i still think the type of vague post that has started this debate is mischievous despite
any "confidential" Info it is supposedly based on.

I thought fedex was meant to end on the 31st may did they change there mind

 

[IanFarquharson]

Fedex 757 is now staying but it looks like the E120 feeder is stopping.
There is more to it than that but cannot say what !

You can have a vague post or no post - your choice !
If I hear anything I like to post to raise expectations, it is not meant to tease but to highlight things are happening it is just a case of being patient. It is just dangerous giving too much away at this stage.

 

[mullion]

I agree you don`t know who read these posts and the trouble people could get in if too much is said

 

[GliderPilot]

It’s not meant to be a dig at you Ian, all of us here appreciate your posts immensely

I think everyone on here is just fed up of one season wonders, the constant frequency decreases and routes that have been going for years just being dropped

Its got to the point where anything positive feels to good to be true i think

I completely understand Ian, no need to give away too much info for confidentially purposes. The thought of someone happening at BHX gives me excitement. I just hope that it is an airline that treats BHX seriously.

 

[IanFarquharson]

Give the CEO time from what I understand he is doing lots behind the scene.

 

[Creguk]

Ian, out of interest, how do you know this information? Do you work for BHX? I look forward to your posts
