I think it will affect turkmenistan to some degree
T5 have weathered the storm with AI at BHX before and survived. Although they might ditch the 757 from the route for good now - if they haven't already done so?
Ok, so we have TK, EK, PK, T5 and now AI heading east which is great, what about heading west or south?
Sadly I don't think there is much scope going west at the moment; United are going down to just x5 weekly for a month or so in the new year so the reality is BHX cannot even sustain a daily 757 across the pond all year round anymore. Considering the 757s will not be around forever it will be interesting to see what United will do when they're gone.
