A United 747 will be doing charters on some sun routes from MAN and BHX this week. I don't know the full schedule but BHX will have flights on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.

I'm not sure if I've made this up but I seem to recall talk on a forum (not necessarily here) that there were plans for a reconfiguration of the departure lounge at BHX.
This would have involved extending the air side departures lounge into the 1st floor land side area above check-in.
Has anyone else heard about this or am I just making things up?

Midlands Today
Just caught a report on Midlands Today about the very welcone and needed £100 million investment including PK stating that BHX is expecting 17 new routes in the next 18 months. That's quite an exact statement to make, so do we have more exciting times ahead with more new airlines - could some of these be the much rumoured Norwegian base and finally see the runway extension properly come into its own?

17 New routes
It does not leave 2 if you count Rotterdam, Luxembourg, Toulouse, Cruj, Stockholm, Jet 2 routes (most already served) and Blue to Larnaca (another carrier on an existing destination).
Press releases are a master of spin.
Now if it means destinations not currently served that would be impressive.

Whether in the wonderful world of spin vs. reality Mr. Kehoe (or his advisers) misunderstood the two terms (giving them the benefit of the doubt) or had deliberately misused them we will find out in about 8 months.

Airport operators typically twist their word to make things sound more impressive than they actually are.
Gatwick is another example of this having claimed they serve over 40 long haul destinations. Whilst technically correct a lot of those routes are to the Caribbean or other typical holiday destinations. In fact only about half are to "proper" (i.e. not holiday) long haul destinations with many only being served seasonally.
