MYT a BHX

Not too much to add to this debate but MYT have two based 320's both doing 2 flights (4 movements) a day Sunday through Thursday, Friday one aircraft does one flight in the morning before positioning out and Saturday they do 3 flights each.

However as it has been stated not a great deal compared to the one
summer (2003 or 2004) when eight were based at times - 767 five days,
one 321 (or 757) and two 320's on IT plus four 320's for mylite.

Okay it was only a few months but sad to see just two 320's.

As for handling agents, the most annoying aspect as a pax at BHX is the time it takes to get off the aircraft at terminal one and I realise that this
is not always the handling agents fault. The times the flight deck have announced sorry for the delay the guidance is not working or the bridge has just broke or the buses have not turned up!

I have found both Aviance & Swissport fine at check-in and at the
gate, even waiting for baggage it has been reasonable most times. Servisair is definitely lagging a little bit compared to the other two
but that is just my personal opinion from a couple of irritating problems
with check-in queues and getting off aircraft.
