Normally happens on summer Saturday mornings but doesn't usually affect all the belts, just delays a lot of flights as everything ends up on the oversize belt and queues go outside the terminal doors
Do all the long haul airlines waiting in the wings for the runway extension to open know about this??! That will surely convince them that BHX is the place to fly into over LHR
The new route development guy (sorry, I forget his name) really has made an impact hasn't he?
Agreed there does seem to be a more positive mood at BHX for route development, encouragingly by both full service and lower cost carriers in both destinations and frequencies but this has to be tempered by the fact that BHX has recently lost LYS and GOT and from Sept it looks like PRG and LIS will also go. Add those to a few gaps in major cities/hubs (MAD, WAW, HEL - great for Far East connections) and seasonal leisure destinations (suggestions could be PSA, NAP, ATH, OPO, BOD, MRS?) still unserved, as well as stagnation in long haul route development there is still a way to go but IMO at least BHX does seem to have (at last) got the right man in the job of getting airlines to buy into the airports potential
