Comtel Air/Flybe/Egyptair Cargo

Done a bit of research on the Comtel air web site, apparently the flight is scheduled as far as Vienna then a charter to/from ATQ. Optimistically it says they are trying for scheduled rights and these will 'be announced shortly'. Either way lets hope they succeed.

On a less positive note, in usual one step forward five steps back BHX style, it seems that all BE French routes have been dropped for summer 2012 apart from CDG and a pathetic weekly AVN - so thats EGC, TLS, LRH, BES gone: the route bleed from BHX just goes on and on and on, summer 2012 will surely see the fewest scheduled destinations offered since perhaps the 90's and way down on 2008 when I think there were 90 or so direct scheduled destinations as a result of expansion (not heard that word in a long time at BHX) by WW and FR.

And finally I know its not known for accuracy but Wikipedia is listing Egyptair Cargo as a BHX cargo operator to CAI?! Can't be true surely?
