Route Development & Rumours

[Aviador]

We've had three years of seeing a Halloween horror show so I will not be participating in trick or treat on the 31st October.

Personally not holding my breath, With the way BHX is at the minute I'm not expecting much/if anything

I used to be an optimist!

Probably both.
Edit....
They're the bane of my life.

Anyway back to BHX and if Wizz do base aircraft at the airport (Wizz Air Thread), I do hope they serve some new destinations.

Wizz Air and Easyjet base in less than a week.... thought i was on the Luton thread many moons ago....

Huh I'm not aware of either basing at BHX !

 

[davecleaver777]

After reading the excitement on the BHX threads over the past few days who knows.... Nick Barton knows them both well

Is today's announcement of EASY BHX-EDI which was predicted weeks ago on the forum the big news we were expecting Thursday?

 

[58terminus]

No response? Personally if today's announcement is it i will be disappointed. Lets see what tomorrow brings.

Ian might know more....

easyJet expanding it’s presence at BHX, who would have thought it?

Good to see though, some competition and choice again on the main Scottish routes. Not had that since BMI baby disappeared.Aberdeen or maybe Inverness next???

As for CDG or AMS, I think it could be possible, but I would rather see other European cities added, particularly those either unserved or those with low frequencies.
Will be interesting to see what happens with Geneva and Grenoble, especially if(this is a big If!!!) a base is opened at BHX.The constant up and down with the GVA frequency and the constant opening and closing of the Grenoble route has been frustrating.Jet2 may have played a part there though.

Great to see some news on the positive front from BHX after what seems to have been a long period of nothing.

GLA / EDI - nothing else for the time being

Grenoble stopped a couple of years ago !

I've no problem with Easyjet picking up unserved routes but I don't think they are interested in that otherwise they would have started with those destinations from the beginning. They are a business and they will pick the most profitable routes, which are ones already served.

I don't think any of us that want EZY to base at BHX expect them to just launch flights to those destinations currently unserved, more that the only way they'll ever be served is if EZY do open a base here.

And would having more flights on the popular routes do any long term harm? Besides EDI, GLA, AMS & CDG, I can't see EZY serving any destinations that Flybe serve, so if we were to lose Flybe it would more likely be from a new direction from Virgin than EZY starting. Can't see TUI, JET2 or Ryanair going anywhere. Equally if we lose TCX it'll more likely be because of the current situation there than from EZY.
