Birmingham ACL Birmingham Slot Allocation

[Ray Finkle]

Report now available to view

Suceava is an interesting one but could have been taken up by Sibiu instead as SCV isn't a Wizz base.

Spicejet 3x weekly.......again!

Qatar 2x daily.......again!

Emirates requested more slots but not a whole season so IF it happens a 3rd flight would likely be either less than daily or starting Feb or March.

No Vueling for winter at least.

Daily Ryanair UK slot which could be Belfast?

I think the rest is about as expected.

Emirates is 14 weekly pax and 2 weekly cargo flight

Emirates is 14 weekly pax and 2 weekly cargo flight

Is that confirmed? Ie: a new sky cargo service ?

SCV is allocated to be daily from what I’ve seen

No base at SCV so not that easy

Interesting to see Wizz apply for slots for 25x weekly departures when looking at February peak. they currently have 18x departures currently scheduled. Obviously this is not a guarantee the slots will be used but its clear wizz has some interest in growing from BHX

I wonder if slot reservations work like a subscription, so it just keeps going if the airline forgets to cancel it? Could explain why we’ve had some unusual requests sitting in there for years

Probably Ryanair based

Probably Ryanair based

Ryanair dont fly there !

Probably Aer lingus then I don’t know.Its a bit pointless putting a route on a ACL slot’s allocation form where it has no base

 

[Ray Finkle]

There's every chance the slot was taken up for Sibiu. Wizz only have 5 destinations out of SCV and it would be very difficult to do BHX without a based aircraft.

If they are wanting to serve the north east of Romania from Birmingham I'd imagine bringing back Iași would be a better option.

ACL doesn’t necessarily mean it’s accurate. It’s basically a prediction

ACL doesn’t necessarily mean it’s accurate. It’s basically a prediction

The ACL report is based upon the slots that an airline has applied for. I would hardly call it a prediction.

Then where’s Lanzarote,Rovaniemi,Derry?

None are new routes

None are new routes

EasyJet and Ryanair in winter
Lanzarote W25
Rovaniemi W25

 

[GeorgeNTravels]

EasyJet and Ryanair in winter
Lanzarote W25
Rovaniemi W25

It will only show as "New Destination" If no airline flew there the previous season or no airline held slots for it.

Lanzarote is already served from BHX and Rovaniemi will have been served with charter airlines so yes they are new for those airlines but not the airport

 

[Birmingham Aviation]

Wasn’t much excitement on the report though anyway

 

[IanFarquharson]

Looks like a new airline may actually start in late October 2025
