Long Haul Charter Traffic
It is a bit grim all round. Just putting it out there for discussion (I am no expert), will the introduction of the 787 into the uk charter market bring an increased range of long haul destinations from airports like BHX or is it just wishful thinking on part of the airlines and aircraft manufacturers.
Obviously in terms of range more exotic destinations will become logistically possible, however in the current climate are such routes economically viable?
Also I am sure there is a debate to support the fact that Virgin could fill summer weekly flights to Vegas and Orlando (similar to Man) using one of its new 330s from BHX. I know Manchester is not far away but rather than just saturate the market, it could expand it? Probably won’t happen so let’s just be grateful for Armavia. Bang!
