Another ill informed comment to fit agendas this time stating "MAG massively overpaying for STN".
...Wrong & wrong again without rehearsing all the facts...Research ALL the info & challenge if you then wish.
It may be more of a monetary factor that much was expounded on here & from the BHX CEO( long since departed) re the "much needed" R/W extension at BHX which has not even begun to pay for itself & sadly almost certainly never will.

I don't know what the BHX fees are, I'm simply suggesting it might be a factor in the Primera decison.
The purchase cost of Stansted is irrelevant to the Birmingham thread BUT by any reasonable measure the purchase of a runway in the "London area" does appear to have been bought at a bargain price.

We might never know the full machinations concerning Primera re BHX at least so far.
Just theories based on individuals perceptions.....
....Or should we just go with the company statement?..
My response was concerning a post here seeking to defray general BHX issues to another business...in this instance STN...That's all.

Air India
The 2017 figures are in and for the first time I think the Delhi/Amritsar split is given for the whole year albeit December is provisional from the CAA.
2017 pax 154439 up 10% - 2016 140338.
Amritsar 75733 (49%)
Delhi 78706 (51%)
Based on 730 sectors 212 pax per flight 83% load factor. All inbounds bar one landed I think (one diversion?)but not sure if all outbounds went with passengers as I remember a couple of tech issues and overnight stays However overall very reliable minus the fog delays.
Turkmenistan in 2017 carried 42756 up 20% from 35474 but way more flights in 2017.
Also worth noting that Qatar have moved Doha - Amritsar to the evening ex Doha which connects neatly with QR36/35 on Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday.

I'm not a great fan of Willie Walsh, but what he says about APD makes sense.

BMIR Gothenburg to end
Oh dear GOT gone again - last flight bookable 2 March per the BMIR website
Not sure how this affects the JLR Graz flights but I assume the aircraft will just position in to operate them on the operating days.
Cheers Nigel - lets hope AI do eventually increase frequencies or dare I say it add the 77W on the days Delhi operates (more new ones arriving).
Jet2 - Base up to 6 operating with 9 flights tomorrow including the return of Krakow, Prague, Palma and the new Rome

KLM
KLM
Not often an increase in frequency gets past me but KLM increase Amsterdam from today to 5 a day with KL1433/4 E190 service starting.
Okay it is still below the normal summer frequency but it has not been five a day in winter for a while and never when the completion operates seven daily in the week.
Flybe definitely going back to 6 daily from summer and KLM also return to six daily minus the high summer period when it is back to five.
Cityjet RJ85 is back on the Amsterdam Sunday and Tuesday KL1425 but never mind can't have everything.
Reasonable amount of half-term extras the last two days with two Austrian yesterday, three out of four Turkish A321's, Titan yesterday, Air Charter X today and some Flybe extras to Lyon, Knock. Milan and Stuttgart.
Jet2
Nice bit of reactionary action from Jet2 yesterday. Arrecife - BHX diverted to Faro after the FO fell ill (Graphic detail in Aviation Herald report). A replacement 738 flew out from Manchester with crew to pick up the passengers with both aircraft flying back to the UK together (FR24). The replacement aircraft to BHX and the original aircraft to Manchester.
Wishing the FO a speedy recovery - it sounded quite a nasty event.

Not released yet but believed to be down.
At present I (not BHX) expect the figures to be down slightly for the next couple of months but it could be as late as November before it is significantly up (extra winter based Thomas Cook, more TUI and Jet2).
This is based on what is released although some months could be close and it will really depend on any late additions.
The main surprise (although it shouldn't be) is Ryanair as they are slightly up April - June and September as well but high summer is currently well down.
Last year the 5th based aircraft arrived in July and stayed until the end of August and this year it is just a few extra away based which no way compensates for the loss of the based aircraft.

BMIR
Further to my earlier post re BMI Regional Gothenburg, it seems to continue at 6 March on a Monday out and Tuesday in but in conjunction with Bristol.
BHX shows direct and Bristol shows two flights on the same day within minutes, one direct and one with a stop matching the BHX flight number.
Graz still bookable Monday and Friday.

All seems a bit of a mess but nothing compared to what is on the BMIR thread.
