"Last evening a Central news piece strongly suggested that a deal was in the process of being struck between Birmingham International and Air India through which direct services would be created to the sub-continent."

Well not quite right, it is stated BHX have offered Air India a deal .There is no suggestion that Air India are close to agreeing it .
We must remember World Airlines get invited to many airports (Sure AI have been invited to MAN as well recently) however it is good to see BHX management and Birmingham City Council are trying hard to secure such routes.
