Birmingham: New Route Development & Rumours

[nwoody2001]

Indeed, those niche 2-3 per week A310/A330/B767 routes to places such as Iran and Uzbekistan were great for BHX and really set it apart from other European airports. Hope we can get them back some day!!!

Loganair are looking at starting BHX- Scotland from W17/18, going head to head with FlyBe

PK

Is it still happening

Is it still happening

I would take "looking at" BHX-Scotland to mean "evaluating BHX-Scotland" and not necessarily a statement of intent to serve it.

Guess this is the reason behind Loganair dropping the long running Glasgow - Leeds route, so to free up a Saab 340 to operate Scottish routes to Birmingham.

What made you think that?

As like I said in me previous post Loganair have confirmed it's dropping the LBA-GLA route next Friday August 4th.

 

[BHX492]

THe idea that's its not bookable should give a slight indication that the routes gone. Or a look at the timetable

[BHX492]

[lbaspotter]

no they would ask me

Know this is going of topic, But seriously why would the ask you BHX492?

I've just shown you proof in me last post that Loganair are dropping the LBA-GLA route.. What more you need.

 

[IanFarquharson]

Hopefully BHX-Scotland will be announced soon

Made me giggle now after this thread was so active over the "Prime Era" route announcement 😉 how very quiet its suddenly become

Yes gone quiet on the face of it but lots going on behind the scenes, BHX on regular trips to the Far East and are talking to a number of airlines, but these things can take years !
There is a possibility of one of these operating a short series of flights next year.

Yes i know the BHX team are busy but i mean just the speculation from other geeks like me on this thread went from extremely active to nobody posting in weeks 😀

TBH Mate, I think its also the time of the year. Lots of people are away or just about to go away so generally these kind of forums are quiet in August.

There is very little news to talk about. Also the forum went in Overdrive over the Primera news, I was actually glad the forum went quiet afterwards, sometimes you just need some quiet moments to get your breath back.

Im sure once all the little nippers are back at school and Theresa May is actually doing some work, the forum will be busy again.

It'd be great to see Mahan Air back but I guess it's looking more unlikely, even LGW has disappeared from their route map.

There was a rumour that we were to see the return of Uzbekistan but that one seems to have gone quiet again?

Their sub 200 ft flypast of Heart of England school was something else

 

[JENNYJET]

Are Mahan a banned airline in EU?
