Hopefully just a matter of semantics, but interesting to note in the press release that the Air India guy says that "once we have taken the delivery of our 18th Dreamliner aircraft in November, we hope to launch the daily operation from Birmingham Airport" which the BHX CEO seems to take as a commitment to launch daily in November, though it isn't quite saying that. As ever time will tell.....
The "hope" is linked to the "once" - insofar as the one (daily service) is subject to the other (Boeing delivering on time). The service "will" go daily "when" the 18th 787 is delivered which is expected to be in time for a November upgrade.
As a Mancunian, I don't believe there are many straws for you to clutch on this occasion.
