You have a good memory, Rollo, quite correct about Brussels and Frankfurt with BMA in the 70's.

if I had to guess why DUS is returning to several airports before FRA, it's probably because a much bigger percentage of FRA traffic is onward connections to the rest of the world, but that market is unlikely to recover in the immediate future for many countries/regions.

I also remember the BEA Viscounts and Vanguards and actually flew on both of them as a teenager to Heathrow to spend the day spotting, every worse remember British Midlands predecessor Derby Airways and their DC3s can't remember where they operated to though!

I wasn't aware Derby Airways operated from Birmingham. From Burniston and then EMA.

Great addition... I Didn’t see that coming ! Strange they think they can do better from U.K. rather than fatherland

Wow didn't see that coming at all!
We've all been hoping for a base from easyJet or Wizz, could Eurowings soon join that list?

The statement below sounds encouraging. Could they succeed where Norwegian and Vueling failed? Less competition but i don’t know if they have any more brand awareness.
A further expansion of UK flights by Eurowings will be considered in the coming weeks.

Lufthansa, the owners, are confusing me. Massive losses announced but new venture considered. Hope it works for them and us!

Only my opinion but I have a feeling this won't be much more than putting aircraft where the demand is. With the UK forging ahead in administering vaccines and a subsequent surge in summer bookings airlines will likely be looking to get their piece of the action. I really can't see this being much more than a one season wonder.
That said, it adds much needed capacity and brings even more punters through the door which is what the airport and it's concessions need.
Who knows, if the routes perform well it may give them something to think about in the longer term.
Now, if they could just give us Hamburg?

Of course it is a case of just deploying aircraft where the demand is but with PMI being a base for EW, if successful it may not be just a one season wonder. Great news though at this tough time, one thing which is positive at the moment is airlines are thinking outside the box. I feel we will see a few more shock announcements like this, I think VY could add more.

Great news, I am surprised by this. Hopefully it won't be a one season wonder but we'll have to see.
British Midland and the Viscount....Great memories

Fingers crossed!! The absence of this route really does stick out considering how frequent it once was. Hopefully Eurowings remember BHX when they plan the routes. I think this route would do extremely well and the strong presence of other LH Group airlines will only help.
