Interesting to se LNR service described as as all stations- they now have trains running fast form Northampton to Euston- though there is the tedious slow exit from Birmingham.

1 A321 is spare on Tuesday’s, 1 B738 spare on Wednesday’s, and only available slot is on Thursday from 19:00 when the Palma based aircraft could do another flight.
Only strange day is Sunday, when 1 extra B738 is needed just to operate Corfu only.

The chaos of flooding in Dubai has caused both todays BHX flights to have delays of 4+ hours.
It will be heaving in the Lounge but better there than fighting for seats with 600 frustrated pax at Wetherspoons.
EK40 is due out at 18.00 instead of 13.30
I'm so pleased we choose to fly next Wednesday and not on todays flight
SS
ps I have just seen Flightradar24 showing EK37 arriving at 23.31. That will mean a 02.00 departure then ?

What do we think about the Flybe situation?
will it last because I’m not too convinced and I really think that if they don’t survive then Birmingham will have lost 2 million passengers less this year plus bhx will attract even less customers as there will be less airlines available that’s unless easy jet jumps in!

Good news about Rekyjavik - clutching at straws, that could almost now be counted as a proper seasonal scheduled service. I would say there is demand for a year round link but Jet2 can clearly make more money on ski and summer Med routes to commit to going year round.
The 2019 figures, well all things considered good based on events. Potentially another tough year ahead given the Flybe situation. If the worst happens, one Hope's EZY can be persuaded to take up a few routes but with S20 schedules and aircraft allocations done, this IMO is unlikely.
I make 25 scheduled airlines and 105 scheduled destinations for summer 20 which is not too shabby, unless BE disappear of course. The airline mix at BHX certainly beats Luton and Bristol hands down, even if our pax growth is much weaker.

Flybe shows Dusseldorf bookable early morning departure and the aircraft returns in the evening just one daily except Saturday.
Amsterdam back to 5 daily summer 2020 so I assume A N Other operator has changed their mind. Flybe had to give up to 5 slot pairs if anyone was interested.
Jersey up to 3 daily with the afternoon BHX departure reintroduced now that GCI-LHR is canned.
EDI back to 7 daily as last summer it was originally 8 daily.
Could be 9 aircraft based as Inverness retimed to 09.30 and none of the first departures are back by then (CDG AMS STR DUS JER BHD EDI GLA & INV as first wave departures)

2019 FIGURES
Do you think that if Air India and Turkmenistan Airlines weren’t Suspended for a long part of the year we could have gotten more passengers overall or?
plus are Flybe ever going to talk about the future and Birmingham because they haven’t really talked about it at all!!
