Route Development & Rumours

[Paulsstrange]

Lets just wait and see as Ray said it's all rumour until confirmed

 

[jfy1999]

With the 787 planned instead of the MAX as originally speculated?

If a base is in the pipeline then it surely won't be all about long haul. I imagine there'd be 737s based as well, with some new short haul routes.

Better Open Some Top Overseas Newroutes at last.

Boston?

Not obvious really with earlier genuine information absent now.

Ray, you should be writing crosswords

Boston?

Can you be sure? is it 'More than a feeling'?

Changing track slightly.

I speak to a lot of people at work and the subject of holidays often comes up (no I'm not a hairdresser). Many of these people are from the Muslim community who find it difficult to travel to the usual hot spots of Spain and Greece due to the availability of halal meals, or lack of. Turkey is mentioned regularly as a popular destination as is Morocco.

The amount of people I'm speaking to who use Luton and Stansted to travel to Morocco is quite staggering. The only options from Birmingham are Thomson or a connection via a European hub, both considerably more expensive than using one of the London airports.

I just wonder if it's something that the RD team are looking at improving or if it's not considered a top priority. Ryanair are starting 2x weekly to Marrakech from Liverpool, that would be ideal for us?

 

[jfy1999]

I would say yes to Morocco being in need of expansion. 2x weekly to Marrakech or Fes sounds about right and it wouldn't have to be a BHX based aircraft.

Danish Air Transport? Missing the obvious lol

 

[thunderchild]

Sadly this airline's livery has been give a rather unfortunate (albeit accurate) description on another site and once you know it's almost impossible not to see it as anything else!

 

[Ray Finkle]

Something to do with a ladies sanitary product?

 

[thunderchild]

Indeed!

Back to topic now and it seems some Norwegian 788s will be freed up as they will upgrade all Oslo long haul flights to the 787-9 by the end of S17. Looks promising.

Interesting wonder if they'll base some 787-8s in the UK?

 

[Paulsstrange]

Certainly frees a couple of them up to go somewhere ......
