Nope.

Hopefully it won't be too much of a trial to work this one out.

Does this amount to a based aircraft?

Does this amount to a based aircraft?

Yes

Graz - Mon 0730-1240 & Fri 1125-1635
Gothenberg - Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu 1315-1750, Fri 0620-1055 & Sun 0800-1235
Nuremburg - Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu & Fri 1820-2215 & Sun 1305-1700

so in that case that leaves space for 4 more flights to be added by the BMI aircraft, Tue/Wed/Thu mornings, and late Sun evening.

so another destination to be added? Oslo or Helsinki or another Swedish airport would be good!

 

[Ray Finkle]

The Sun and Thur gaps are earmarked for an increase to 4x weekly on Graz. There is then the possibility to go 6x weekly if it does well.

 

[Daza]

Maybe room for a Saturday charter too? Cagliari/Olbia?

A post about Finnair on the MAN forum caught my eye. MAN was due to be upgraded to A319s in S17 with the E190 being freed up to operate BHX, but as we know, it fell through. Now MAN is showing as all A319 on weekdays for W17/18. Probably further updates to come but I'm hoping this means they still intend to fly E190s into BHX...fingers crossed

Fingers crossed you would say it must stand a decent chance...

What's next for us with regards to another link to the US now American Airlines have postponed their service (for the second time)? I don't know if any other US carriers are willing to start up here so we'll probably have to make do with United for now (not that that's such a bad thing).

I would have thought that the closest we will get will be Norwegian and their 737MAX planes, but they have gone very quiet lately.
