Inghams

A few weeks ago in another airport forum a poster who is usually extremely well informed about BRS matters said that Ingham's Saturday Verona flight this coming summer would be operated by a BHX-based Estonian Airlines E170 routing BHX-VRN-BRS-VRN-BHX. The reason was that Inghams wanted more seats than last summer's bmi regional E 145 could provide.

Originally the Inghams website showed bmi regional as their carrier to VRN in summer 2014 but they now show Mistral (which operates this route for Tui from BRS) which suggests they are taking seats on that flight. They used to do so before Tui put on the smaller Mistral B734 to replace the TOM B738 a couple of years ago.

The point is that if the Estonian E170 was going to operate this pattern from BHX via BRS on a w on Sats to VRN could it operate a similar pattern with INN as well? It would be a long day for the aircraft with eight sectors.

However, Inghams are showing its flights to VRN on a TOM aircraft which might suggest that it's true after all that the Estonian E170 will operate BHX-INN-BRS-INN-BHX. The snag in that is that Inghams are still showing Flybe as their BHX carrier to INN.

I think I'll lie down now.
