Dream Flights
On the assumption that the extension now seems to be going ahead time for a bit of wishful thinking, here's what I would like to see landing on the extended tarmac at BHX
VS - MCO, BGI
SQ - SIN
AA - ORD, JFK
DL - ATL
9W - BOM, DEL, ATQ
CA - PVG
Air Asia X - KUL
And breathe, OK just a wish list but its good to dream! I suppose back in 1985 if someone had suggested a double daily 777 to DXB they would have been laughed at, so maybe some of the above could happen?
On a serious note I hope this extension does not prove to be a place for tumbleweed to grow and that it does indeed bring new aeronautical business as that is something that BHX has been lacking for many a year now. I just worry that BHX has delusions of suddenly becoming some sort of long haul magnet when the extension opens, with the best will in the world I just don't think this will happen - and if it did, what then for the European full service carriers who carry so much transfer traffic from BHX through their hubs? I just wish they would get their short haul house in order as well as aiming for the big birds
