East Midlands: New Route Development & Rumours

[User001]

Shaheen Air are due to start East Midlands-Islamabad from 1st March using A330.

Flights will be Friday's and Sunday's.

Surprised to see them use East Midlands over Birmingham, but, I suppose it was part of a MAG deal given they start MAN flights at the same time.

Yes they must have got a great deal with MAG to operate from both airports.I would of put my money on them operating out of BHX.Anyway great news for both airports especially East Midland well done :hatsoff:

I have some first hand experience of Shaheen Air. They make PIA look like a professional outfit. Shaheen will have to perform considerably better than they did the first time they tried international routes if they are to succeed.

I take it the plans for EMA have been quietly dropped?

Unsurprising - although it would have been good to see EMA gaining a new long haul route.

Looks like only Manchester.
