Wasn't GLA-NQY operated by Logan for flybe on the S340 ? Rather than the Q ? So 34 seats v 78 ?
I agree however that GLA-NQY is missing from the NQY schedules and also EDI being just once a week could be increased.

Crew meal, Perhaps not quite as desperate at BHX yet and we expect a 3rd EK service next year. Also we have the first China Southern charter in a few weeks which will hopefully be expanded, and Air Transat are adding more A330 flight to Toronto next year. However agree over all we often suffer being too close to London and lesser extent Manchester, Honey Bunny, feel free to take swipes at BHX if that what floats your boat however your attack on the city itself is ludicrous.This is supposed to be an aviation forum. If you know your economics Birmingham is exporting more goods to China than any other city in the UK outside London,and has one of the fastest growing economies.Jaguar Landrover is probably one of the most successful companies in terms of creating new jobs and exports in the UK..As is Cadburys. I could go on.. but, apologize as its an aviation forum, but thought Id defend my city after such comments ! Nigel
Sorry to go back a few pages but I'd like to respond to Mr Osborne.I think you'd better start using the name George as you seem well versed on the UK's economics!!
Firstly you agree at my 'swipe' at bhx being piggy in the middle!
Second, yes correct it's an aviation forum well spotted.You were the one spouting the cities industrial success.
Thirdly were did I attack Birmingham? To expand on what I meant by my comment, that the area in general has been all to often overlooked in favour of areas North and South.

LOL Hunny Bunny,

We don't need to turn this thread into an HS2 debate (again) but for what it's worth, for once there seems to be real momentum behind this infrastructure project, with support across the political spectrum.
So, despite the NIMBYs, I reckon it will go ahead, however with the usual delaying tactics from the usual suspects, I can't see it being finished before I'm too old to use it!!

Nothing on the FlyBe website so far - but good news if it's true - and I've no reason to doubt you!
Wouldn´t get too excited about HS2 Nigel sorry it isn´t going to built - have a level 10 Euros on it!

BHX 09.40 > TXL 12.25 . TXL 12.50 > BHX 13.50 daily ex wed & sat
Of course they will have to move to Brandenburg...one day.
Good luck to them , it keeps an important German Destination to the midlands .

Birmingham-Berlin
Good news
It seems Flybe are willing to step in and maintain Birmingham Routes, their 88 seat aircraft are perfect for scheduled city routes out of Birmingham.

AT Notts,
Agree Andrew, it has cross party support, so whatever the arguments against ,expect it will go ahead but as you say opening may get delayed.
Great to see the China Southern in BHX today, full water cannon salute,press coverage, on Birmingham Airports 75th anniversary.

British Airways diversion to BHX this afternoon.
Hi there. Does anyone know why BA549 Rome to LHR was diverted to BHX this afternoon? I watched it come in while out at Hampton Lakes, and confirmed it on FR24.

Great news regarding BE to Berlin, so glad the route continues as I did not relish the thought of the trek down to LHR again....thank goodness BHX has BE and seemingly such a good relationship with them, I think we have to look to them for growth in short haul routes from BHX in the next few years, they seem committed to growth unlike others....

Perhaps they have got it just right now with new management, smaller
fleet, a direction not trying to do everything from everywhere.
I hope so as they have a great history right through the aviation scene of the UK for last 40/50 years.

Monarch S15
I've just had a quick look through the timetable, which is still not complete. The weekends are showing 8 aircraft based at the moment, down 1 on 2014, but it's early days. No Ibiza or Split flights showing as yet. There are two Malaga departures showing on a Sunday morning plus a 00:55 Saturday night departure to Alicante!

Monarch 2015
Didn't see that one coming and if it is just a taster then the August schedule is very neat with hardly any gaps once the IT flights added in.
The Monarch press release can dress it up as much as they like but it just about wipes out all the Thomas Cook increase.
On the positive side April does see Nice, Venice, Mahon and an increase on Sharm but several routes chopped (at present) and much reduced frequencies in May and June.
Hurghada as mentioned earlier ends mid May!
Still room for a night Ibiza and hopefully Almeria will get squashed in at some point but the 23 routes mentioned in the press release indicate not.
