ACL Birmingham Slot Allocation

[Timberwolf]

I’m hearing rumours that the ACL reports for next summer are set to be released within the next couple of days.

Eyes peeled open!!

Looking at the MAN thread they are already trickling through there apparently, with a number already put up on thr site.

So surely BHX's should start to come through tomorrow if anyone has access of course ??

 

[Ray Finkle]

Apart from possibly Spicejet which I think have appeared before

Spicejet have been on and off these reports for a while, to both ATQ and DEL. We even had Indigo on there a couple of years ago.

When are the reports due out?Meant to come out start of the month.Then it was meant to be announced second week in then the third week and then last week.Still nothing.Hopefully we find out something This week

Yes Indigo have definitely appeared on previous BHX ACL reports.

Patience is a Virtue my friend, trust me as the fan of two local teams who play in Blue and White and living by a school I have learnt Patience is a virtue oh and also getting Buses that were often delayed by Overcrowding or Roadworks

MAN were out some days ago.Not sure why BHX are always later ??

 

[Seasider]

Bigger airports first?

Bigger airports first?

It's down to each airport.BHX may not be particularly bothered to release yet.

They have plenty of good news already with extra planes being based from Ryanair, EasyJet and Jet 2 next summer.

Looks like will see much upgrades on big airlines aircraft
Air India could be a possible A350
Qatar could bring back B77W or a upgraded Dreamliner
Emirates and Saudia not much change

New destinations - apart from the long rumoured Air China Cargo to Guangzhou, the only ones I can see that haven’t already been announced:
- Limoges (2 weekly, Ryanair?)
- Milan Linate (2 weekly, easyJet?)

The likes of BER and BVA are missing so I guess this goes to show that these reports aren’t comprehensive by any means…

Seats and ATM sections are a bit more informative regarding specific changes/upgrades:
- 2 daily Qatar
- 3 weekly Spicejet
- 2 weekly BBN Cargo
- Pegasus increase to 4 weekly total (3 weekly SAW + 1 weekly AYT?)

Ones that interested me are
Aegean airlines possibly going 4 weekly
Saudia going 4 weekly
Vueling possibly 9 weekly
Aer lingus going 13 weekly:Could this mean Shannon or cork putting slots in for weekly flights.

It’s very interesting what happens in the next 3-6 weeks

If this is the full list im a bit disappointed.

No new Air India, is the first headline for me.Not even Mumbai now mentioned ..Focused on MAN by looking at their ACL..

Increased Air China, hasnt even started ??

No mention of rumoured SpiceJet.Also now in MANs ACL.Although doubt it will even start there.

Pegasus Antalya is a good one.As is possible increase in Qatar frequency.

Also good to see a number of Euro sched airlines possibly planning to lift frequencies.

Apart from Pegasus only possible NEW.. are Turkish charters by BBN and Freebird

Remember Tim that we could have Spicejet and PIA back.

Looks like Brum is also suffering from Turkey-itis !

I doubt either.Spicejet had a 738 inpounded last week for alledged non payment of bills by the airline.

PIA who knows if they will be allowed back into the UK.However their CEO did say earlier this autumn that they hopefully will relaunch flts to Heathrow and Manchester next summer.No mention of BHX.

You exaggerate too much than you should, PIA CEO never claimed they will return, they said they are negotiating with the EASA and UK aviation auditors to at least get a hope of return

Rather disappointing that no new routes from Air India are there.
The European carriers seem to be edging back to rotation levels last seen pre Pandemic, which is always good to see.
A potential overkill on Turkish routes?.
How confident are we about the Air China Cargo starting?.
Overall some encouraging signs at least.

The ACL suggests thr Air China has already started /starting this winter, and increasing in summer when of course it hasn't, yet anyway
