Saudia

[rollo]

Noted elsewhere that Saudi are increasing Jeddah fromMAN to daily given their recent figures from BHX could bode well for an increase in frequency this summer.

Hopefully the B777 will be used

The 777 will not be used. It is very Premium heavy.

That’s a hell of a jump in seats available

That's the end of PIA Ant ?

Does it "look likely" or is it confirmed?

Either way, it's very positive to have another daily long haul flight. I don't think they have any others apart from Emirates.

...are you ignoring Qatar and Air India who both operate Daily from BHX for a reason...

...Its not confirmed but a lot of updated being uploaded on to the Saudia website. I suspect t wont be daily but more likely 5x weekly throughout summer. but that's just a hunch! will have to wait and see.

No mention on Aeroroutes of anything at BHX re Saudi so maybe a misread of MAN going daily

I said "I don't think" rather than being definite. So no, I am not "ignoring" anything.

Such negativity about a Saudia increase...why don't we wait and see. It will happen....just when and by how much the increase will be is what BHX is waiting for.

Completely agree Karl.

 

[Scania1800]

It’s happening for sure, 7X weekly also known as daily was in their books for a while since the loads were booming, negativity isn’t needed for such a great addition

Whos been negative about the potential increase in capacity?

 

[Karl C]

Certainly not any BHX supporter. It seems quite often that it's beyond the realms of possibility that anything outside London and manchester can do well. I hope BHX continues to buck this trend in the future. Currently going in the right direction and long may it carry on
