New Handling Agent at BHX and FlyBe is first customer !
Flybe has appointed Assured Aviation Services as its ground handling partner at Birmingham Airport, creating more than 100 jobs.
As an airport services business, the Warwickshire-based company will provide full ground handling services for the airline including passenger, baggage, cargo and ramp handling and aircraft cleaning. Part of the Assured Group, Assured Aviation Services currently operates from London Gatwick, Luton and Heathrow Airport. The Flybe appointment will be the company’s first at Birmingham Airport. Bill McPherson, head of airport and Cargo at Flybe, said: “We’re delighted to have appointed Assured Aviation Services as our full ground handing service partner following a competitive tender process. The team impressed us with their commitment to safety and their enthusiasm and demonstrated an understanding of Flybe’s vision and values. We look forward to working with them over the coming months as preparations ramp up towards our launch in early 2022.” Andy Cruise, managing director at Assured Aviation Services, added: “We are proud to be working in partnership with Flybe at this very exciting time. We look forward to delivering a safe and punctual ground handling service at Birmingham Airport, providing all Flybe customers with an enhanced airport experience.” The contract win follows the announcement that Birmingham Airport will be Flybe’s company headquarters and first crew base. |

EZY to PMI & AGP
AGP 4 x weekly and PMI 5 x weekly both bookable April-October.
Nice to see EZY back on a couple of Med routes from BHX, maybe CFU will also appear as this operated in 2021? Don't think ALC and FAO ever got going in 2021 but I'm sure these would do well too. Domestically, would be nice to see JER back as well, not holding my breath on NQY as I think loads were dire despite the supposed staycation boom. |
I can foresee a lot of of EZY routes but all from their continental bases. Actually convenient for the PAX - no 6.00 departures or late night arrivals.

Airbus A380 Return
Emirates booking engine now showing the 2 class A380 returning daily on the EK39/40 service from 1st July, and the EK37/38 still remains 3 a week on the B777, however unconfirmed, the EK37/38 may go daily from the end of March.

GIB
Eastern have loaded BHX-GIB 2 x weekly Mon and Fri starting 22 Apr until mid October, looks like a GIB based aircraft
|
It’s been there for ages and looks like a schedule which was on the inside of a SOU W pattern. Who knows if it’s real?
|
Oh right well these flights are bookable so if they're not 'real' then Eastern need to update their website and take these flights off sale pronto. Hardly ethical to sell something you have no intention of providing!

Do they have enough aircraft to operate these additional flights ?

Some platforms also now showing Qatar daily from 27th March - hopefully a bit more completion for EK. However not for sale on their own website so could be a glitch.

I see smartlynx is looking for cabin crew to be based at BHX and LGW January - October, so i was wondering who they are operating on behalf of this year at both BHX and LGW. They used to operate for Thomas Cook at BHX and LGW, so not sure who it is this time.
Thanks |

TUI I believe. Certainly one aircraft based at BHX in summer 2022 that is unidentified on certain platforms where the others are marked 787, 73 MAX or 737

Qatar flights now no longer showing on Google flights, there were never bookable anyways, so just a glitch in the system, not looking like a summer 2022 return.
