VLM Airlines

A surprise, but welcome back VLM. Hope BHX can and will work for them. Clearly for them BHX remained on their radar though their collapse and rebirth which is a glowing endorsement.

Load factors will no doubt be boosted by the jewellery trade!

Here is a trip report of the "new" VLM's London City-Antwerp service.

Reported on another forum that this now starts 26th March Monday-Friday 13.15 in -13.45 out

Looks like bookings are picking up and ANR maybe double daily !

 

[juliet-fox-9]

That could be very good for business travel. I wonder how LCY is doing as that is 2x daily.

When I saw 'VLM' in the BHX thread list, I was expecting the worst. This however looks to be good news.
My only question now, is why should it perform better now than in the past? Is it the fact that it's daily?

OO-VLI just landed on the inaugural flight (take 2!)

Welcome back to Birmingham VLM 🙂

Not a huge load but hopefully things will pick up with time.

Best of luck to them 🙂

The airport press release, I don't think there is anything new in there.

At least she is back home, what about the other poor things

 

[BHX492]

Does anyone know what the loads are like

 

[Ray Finkle]

Single figures on the first inbound I believe, not sure about loads since then.

I understand VLM will be adding two more weekly departures from BHX to ANR from 04.06.18
But only one way as it is an add on from a new UK airport !

 

[BHX492]

Manchester isn’t it
On Wednesday and Friday as it bookable on there website

When an airline returns, do they still qualify for a water cannon salute?

Aberdeen is the new destination and the flight will stop off at BHX on Wed/Fri.

Aberdeen Airport announces new flights to Belgium

Tickets between ABZ and BHX are also on sale for those days.
