Verona/Madrid
Nice to see FR seem to be cautiously expanding at BHX. Verona is a canny choice, Verona itself is a lovely city and is mid way between Milan and Venice with an excellent train service to both. With the days and timings it will be very easy to do a twin city break. Madrid however, can it sustain 3 carriers if FR do start? Personally I would rather see IB have a chance to bed in on this route given their connectivity through their Madrid hub. Then again Barcelona seems to be doing OK with 4 carriers although a different market to Madrid. I wonder what Norwegian's plans are at BHX, they now have competition on all their routes ex BHX and have the least frequent schedules compared to their competitors.
I wonder what tomorrow's route announcement will be, the alleged reductions being offered in landing charges is certainly having the desired effect!
