Seville

I've seen special departures with (I think) VW or M-B logos splashed on the screens above check-in, and F-I-L worked for a number of major manufacturers and went on these sorts of days out.

22/04

Personally, I am pretty sceptical about the chances of BE A319s at BHX. If you look at the business routes that BE fly profitably, then 2x daily is desirable. Apart from e.g. FRA, AMS,...

Given business travel seems to fall in summer, BE have to find something to do with their fleet (e.g. DUS is usually only 2x daily in summer vs 3-4x in peak). MON already want >£250 pp on BHX to...

175 vs 195

Interesting point, but I wondered if BACF at LCY vs BE a bit of an apples-to-oranges comparison. LCY has a potentially super-strong business clientele and the airport setup prevents competitors...

I agree, the speed of the Q400 is not the problem, but the seats are tiny, legroom restricted, overhead bins too small and (IMHO) biblically noisy

Re: Stockholm

Basically most of Sweden is on holiday for the next 4-6 weeks, so I would expect business travel falls off a cliff. No demand for BHX, and good demand for bucket and spade routes.
