Air India
Bagso
The Air India operation at BHX is real difficult one to judge as there are no monthly transit figures.
The BHX - ATQ averages between a low of 65 per flight to a high of 110
(probably when it was three a week).
The BHX - YYZ averages from a low of 25 per flight to about a high of 70.
The transits vary wildly from day to day and even late July saw some really bad figures then to be followed by the YYZ been oversold for three days in a row only to drop again.
Even when the transit load drops they do not always fill it with BHX pax on either the YYZ or ATQ.
Basically it is a glorified tech-stop but an Indian news agency stated that it was going daily in the New Year - quote from senior management.
I think it was the same article which mentioned an European hub and I would imagine that Manchester will be in the running and although BHX's runway extension application is allegedly imminent, 2012 is the probably the earliest date for completion, which rules out any West Coast route (USA & Canada) unless the 787 has the legs from 8500ft strip.
