aviation support
lost all there handling equipment as BA pulled all the stuff they were using to turn a/c around. Thus causing the airport to pay servisair to offload the skyeurope after it being onstand over 2 hours and suspending and revoking there operating license of aviation support. All airlines are currently negotiating with handling agents and the airport in the meantime is footing the bill and paying for the handling of the airlines, explaining the current spread of airlines. Each having a similar amount of rotations.
I think though I was the first to question them and it seems the airport as usual have finally caught up. Oh well, it seems they are always slow to react on all issues.

Spot on Bazza. Aj was trying to get a 737 towbar right up to the last minute from somewhere on the night before he lost the ex-BA equipment to Aviance.
When I spoke to him on his last Yellow Cab he was confident it would be OK, but, the Airport just lost all patience. I don't think he will be allowed back whatever happens.

Flybe winter 2007/8
A bit of a damp squid but a couple of surprises: -
Lost Toulouse another destination gone for BHX
Salzburg is not coming back
Berne starts in February and once a week
Chambery reduced to weekend only
Brest retained after two indifferent winters!
Some timing changes but most other frequencies are similar to now.
Just got to wait to see the aircraft types.

Perhaps its a new shop opening in the departure lounge or an extra bus to Coventry every day - sorry to be cynical but rumoured big announcements IMHO rarely amount to much.......then again have heard a crewroom rumour (so it must be true!) that Baby are looking to further expand at BHX with new aircraft and routes

re BIG annoucement from BHX
Nothing as exciting as a new shop and BHX management don't have anything to do with travel be it planes or buses, so its likely to be something like the contracted out cleaners have sub-contracted. But then if its a BIG annoucement it could be to fume about the management having been woken up from their hibernation?!? Or even to let us know that the next months figures are also down? Hmmm I wonder...............

Announcement
It has been pointed out that there is no official press release about
the Council not buying the rest of the shares back but it has been
reported in other publications.
What a disappointment if this is the "big announcement", as I thought
it was pretty much a done deal anyway.
I have been trying to find the above mentioned article which apparently
appeared in the press yesterday but have failed

Birmingham councils’ nod to Canadian airport bid
07:55 | 09.07.07
A group of Birmingham councils has waived its right to block the sale of a 48.25% stake in Birmingham International airport to a Canadian pension fund, clearing the way for the completion of the £420m. Daily Telegraph

Earlier this year, Australian investment group Macquarie and Aer Rianta agreed to sell their stakes in Birmingham International for £420m to Ontario Teachers and Victorian Funds, following disagreements over strategy with the local authorities that own 49% of the shares.
The seven councils had the right to block the sale through pre-emption rights that lasted for 90 days from 17 May when the deal was announced. But in the last two weeks the councils have given the investment consortium exclusivity to buy.

Sale
AMM626
Cheers!
Is this the announcement or not, I would have thought the runway planning application would certainly be classed as big as would an EI base
but the sale of shares?
The anticipation!

Hi Pete,
This was announced a couple of days ago so I can't imagine it would be about the shares. I think i'd be right in saying it would the first major announcement by the new owners so let's hope they've got something nice and juicy for us....
