They do have a codeshare with Flybe via AMS and CDG for BHX. CWL is on Finnair's drop down as well.Finnair have reverted back to the E190 for their MAN flights, rather than the planned A319, which could have meant Finnair starting BHX. A couple of weeks back I posted that BHX showed as a 'Finnair destination' in the search engine, not sure if this change back to an E190 means BHX is postponed again?
Yes, I know, but the major difference is that Cardiff is just a oneworld destination, whereas BHX is showing as a Finnair destination, as MAN, EDI and LHR are (airports that have AY services):They do have a codeshare with Flybe via AMS and CDG for BHX. CWL is on Finnair's drop down as well.
I didn't know that! I wonder why the difference?Yes, I know, but the major difference is that Cardiff is just a oneworld destination, whereas BHX is showing as a Finnair destination, as MAN, EDI and LHR are (airports that have AY services):

I realise this, but MAN was meant to go A319 for S17, and then for W17, and it was widely speculated that BHX would receive the freed up Embraer 190, however both of these changes have been reversed. Hopefully BHX will receive a Finnair service soon, as it is something that would work really well for the West Midlands.BHX Postponed again, It was never confirmed.
Don't quite get your question? Is it supposed to be 'how do you know the 319 is not starting BHX?'How do you line the 319 is not starting BHX

If it is, I don't! It may well be on a similar basis to Edinburgh, where an airbus aircraft operates on a lower frequency, and MAN keeps the double-daily E190. However, all I am saying is that the E190 was widely speculated to be freed up to offer BHX and that has been reversed. Whether this is a decision that the 319 could operate BHX on a lower frequency, I don't know for certain.
@Jerry as for your question above about the difference in the search engine, I think it is that as Finnair is a oneworld member, you can book oneworld tickets on their website. Therefore airports like LBA/CWL/NCL are in their search engine, but with a oneworld label, inferring that they are served by oneworld carriers but not Finnair. However, MAN, EDI and LHR have Finnair labels (like what has appeared on BHX) to denote that Finnair operate with their own metal to that airport.
Yes they do. It's also available via CDG.Finnair must have a codeshare with Flybe as it is via AMS and then Finnair AMS-HE
Would that be a PSO route like their London one?BMIR are looking at starting Derry from both Birmingham and Bristol. It would be nice to see it back.
The problem of getting CX or SQ into BHX in the short-term is the lack of spare aircraft for both airlines.
