Birmingham: New Route Development & Rumours

Use this prefix for new threads for Birmingham Airport
Possibly to close to Stansted and Manchester

This city/airport can stand on its own 2 feet, we should be a city region that can support these flights regardless of STN/MAN

Pegasus will come, maybe in 2024 ??

Possibly to close to Stansted and Manchester

Ian used to say the samne about Easyjet to AMS/LIS etc, too close to LTN/BRS/MAN/LPL, Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
 
I’m not sure if it’s route news or a new Greggs opening but BHX has been teasing a big announcement all week - all will be revealed on the 31st March.

Perhaps Hans Air have a new investor ?

Fridays are rarely good news days. Usually good announcements are Mon to Thurs and bad news buried just before close for weekends.

So I'm intriuged what it could be.🤔
 
Is the BHX to Istanbul market now large enough to sustain a low cost carrier on the route?

Flew twice on Pegasus last year and one of the first things you notice is how many passengers are connecting at SAW. In some aspects they have an edge over Ryanair/easyJet/Jet 2 because of what they have built up at Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen. Granted they can do this due to their geographical position - its a smart way to grow the airline.

You would be wrong to just think of them as another LCC. They are all that but with the added hub and spoke model. Now we see Wizz trying to do the same at Budapest.

That's why it does make sense they would increase MAN and STN first for the feed. I hope BHX is their next UK destination.

Heads Up!

Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man.... Landing is the first!
i must be a lunatic. Friday 25th Sept will see me doing a daytrip that involves me leaving my flat in Manchester at 1am and not getting back home until after midnight. All because I'm doing a Loch Ness and Scottish Highlands trip.... out of Glasgow
For some weird reason, my days off work tend to involve being out of my flat by 5am and not getting back until 10pm. Back to work and the regular "fix" of 7.40am to 7.15pm hours
Heatwave Mk2 next week?
Some explosive weather build-ups currently in the North of England. What is it like where you are?
