Absalutely huge well done to BHX. It's about bloody time though!

Looking at the timetable, looks to be minimum of 3 based. That will certainly get 2017 off to a good start.

Looks to begin end of March.
 
Fantastic news more firm commitments to BHX not just conjecture and rumour!

Now that's an impressive launch offering.

Just trying to work out Jet2's fleet make-up for next year but there's no delivery dates mentioned for the 27 738s on order apart from stating September for 2 years. Every likelihood that it's going to be 3 new aircraft They've got around 12 733s delivered before 2007 which may be replaced so potentially we are looking at as many as 15 738s to be inducted to all bases so room to grow to a 5 aircraft base in 2018?
 
Does this fantastic news and commitment from a new base airline enough for BHX to build that new lo-cost pier extension ??

From what I hear T1 is to be reconfigured with upstairs more or less becoming all departures. Boots have already got a new unit up and running downstairs and Smiths are set to close. I'm not sure about Frankie & Bennies and Burger King, maybe BHXFifteen knows more?


Mr Meeson arrived from LBA this evening ready for the launch tomorrow. I've not checked but hopefully there may be gaps in the schedule for another route or two before next spring.

It really is great news and I'll be having a good look tomorrow as I have a week free next May that needs booking (y)
 
Interesting times indeed made glorious given the events of the past week.

And to add to Barry's comment above, come April next year, could this with other anticipated developments be the driver to lift BHX back above our friends from Edinburgh????

It would be nice to see BHX on the second line of the Forums4Airports ladder!
 
Great news Regarding Jet2. Would I be correct in thinking that this is their most southerly UK base?

Very rough mental arithmetic here but I'm thinking a conservative 700k pax?

Just to be on the cautious side, it's best to think of them as '700k seats' - they still have to be filled!

That makes 62 flights a week from mid-may,how many based
aircraft will be needed?

great news to see Jet2 setting up a base from March, I have been through the timetable, and it will require 4 based aircraft, their seat map seams to show all flights to be operated by B738 aircraft, with a few rotations being operated by non based aircraft as well.

Will be interesting now to see how Monarch and Ryanair & maybe Vueling will respond!! We could now have up to 5 airlines competing on routes such as TFS, AGP & ALC!

interesting times ahead!

9 trips in 9 days done 70 miles walked and over 23-00 photos taken with a large number taken at 20mph or above. Heavy rain on 1 day only
5 trips done and 45 miles walked,. Also the RAF has had 4 F35B Lightning follow me yesterday and today....
My plans got altered slightly as one of the minibus companies had to cancel 3 trips and refunded me but will be getting nice discount when I rebook them.
wondering why on my "holidays" I choose to get up 2 hours earlier than when going to work. 6 trips in 6 days soon coming up with 3 more days to sort out
