Some will have seen last month that bmir are launching a twice weekly route between Birmingham and Graz - others have pointed out that it's likely to be sponsored in part by Jaguar Land Rover given their factory near Graz

Oddly enough the route is not yet on sale on the bmir website - although Expedia will sell you a one way ticket for about £650 - as OltonPete has pointed out, rather expensive for a 2 hour flight in economy class. I've emailed bmir about this. While social media people can sometimes be the last to know about corporate plans, one would have thought 2 weeks after flights going on sale in a GDS, some sort of strategy would have been announced internally - instead the repsonse to my email was:
"
Unfortunately I don't have any further information on these flights at present, however, if you are able to visit our website, there may be some updates next week on any potential new routes."
I'm beginning to wonder whether JLR or bmir are perhaps having 2nd thoughts about this route going ahead. Anyone else have more info or opinions ?
