Hi all
Great route announcements!! BMIR may just have the perfect aircraft for the job on these routes GOT,LYS and TLS may be too "thin" for BE/FR/MON aircraft and BMIR do have Embraer 145s and 135s (its not clear which they plan to use on the new routes).
Lyon may be overkill!
This seems to happen at Birmingham all to often. More than one airline operate a thin route, so neither prosper and both end the service!! Maybe if one of them had decided on GVA??? Hopefully they will be well patronised?
Some other charter news that hasn't been reported here. Olympic holidays plan three new routes (well return routes for 2013) from Birmingham. Their website seems to be a work in progress and you really have to search several pages to find these new services. They are;
Tuesdays to Heraklion
0900 1520 1620 1830 QS4982/3 28/5-15/10
Fridays to Skiathos
0830 1515 1605 1900 LLC1532/3 21/6-27/9
Saturdays to Larnaca
1055 1745 1845 2145 QS4032/3 1/6-26/10 (replaces last years Aegean flight)
No extra CFU, RHO, KGS or ZTH so far!
Maybe there is more to come?
