There was a leak on Twitter last year about this, although at the time Air Blue denied any plans to launch a BHX route. I'm very glad it has finally come to fruition. However the impacts on PK and to a lesser extent EK will be interesting. They all seem to co-exist at MAN. I think BHX has the Midlands demand for the Indian sub continent market sown up for now?
Next stop China??
Seeing as things seem to be on a roll, would now love to see TOM add some long haul capacity and destinations, VS do a seasonal Orlando and some of those city gaps filled in Europe - MAD, PRG, ATH, WAW....
Air Blue Schedule:
Sat PA226 arr BHX 21.25 PA 227 dep 23.30
Wed PA226 arr BHX 20.15 PA227 dep 21.25 - from the end of October this flight departs at 22.30
Looks like the LHE flight according to website is a change of planes at ISB, as there are two different flight numbers presented on booking screen, although through fares are bookable.
