A great but unusual little route for BHX 🙂

It's bookable right through until March 30th 2019 which is as far as things go at the moment 🙂

The second flight since restarting on Sat 9th June cancelled!

 

[thunderchild]

They should remain themselves FlyOnce!

Bookable yes, but apparently not necessarily flyable.

 

[Brum X]

Hopefully this is just a blip 🤔

 

[Ianbutty]

We notice these things more during times of doom and gloom.

ER-00002 is en route again, due around 11:30.

 

[IanFarquharson]

Yes back again and hopefully the cancelation last week was a 'one off'

We need to keep this niche airlines as they add a bit of variety.

Hopefully another one soon ?

With these little niche routes hopefully we'll hear the cries of bravo when something is announced!

Thought it was only ever a summer route for a few months each year?

Yes that was my understanding but who knows. Nobody knows anything at BHX these days.

Birmingham has now completely disappeared off the drop down list, last winter it remained on there ready to return the following summer.

Like BA we got two seasons out of them so one more than the norm 😉

Interesting their website still advertises Birmingham as a new route all over their front page!

BHX really going down the pan fast. 😢

But who is to blame ?

The people who own the airport.
Competition (the new BAA)
And stupidity.

But Remember when Glasgow slumped? It came back. Took a while.

As the CEO of Berkerly Homes said today, Brum is the best place to invest in the UK. It is. For the first time in a 30 year career in strategic planning I can say that there has never been a time when the fortunes of the city have been ahead of anywhere else in the UK.

But the councilors round the BHX boardroom table need to take their heada out of their.....and sell up and let the airport thrive unencumbered by politics or pettiness.

Tory Party Conference next week in the city. They are the Government. I hope Andy Street and local MPs and ministers can pull off the same deal Osborne did couple of years ago for his local airport. Time to get tough, stretch the rules and play at the same game as others do.

@jfy1999

I've moved your post to the route development thread as it's probably more in keeping with the discussion there. I don't want it to get lost in the Fly One thread 🙂
