Monarch expansion
We have been waiting a long time for good news on route development at Birmingham, so Monarch's announcement this morning does help to lift that gloom.
While there has been plenty of speculation that Monarch's plan was to introduce routes from other UK airports ie Bristol and Newcastle, the airline has decided to invest in those that it already serves. Given that speculation I am sure the management team at BHX has been proactive in playing its part in securing this decision - a decision which will help pax numbers and also provide much-needed jobs.
Speculation still surrounds the future of BMI-Baby, let's hope their plans for summer '12 and the new routes they plan also come to fruition.
I'm looking at a glass half-full.....
