Plane Addict,
yes a 380 of Emirates is also possible for the opening..
The way things are, BHX might polish down a Ryan Air 738 for the launch to keep Ryan Air happy
Not sure how any Air Algerie service would work , we have a very small Algerian population in Brum ,and as it would be a service put on due to slot restrictions at LHR, most would want to go to London not BHX.
Surely Luton would be a better option closer to LHR. I can see more and more short/medium range flts going to Luton instead of LHR once they have more stands. They only have El Al at present.
