A simple question. Why is it so much cheaper to fly from other airports?

The Chinese Premier, who was expecting to visit BHX due to the successful charters, was most definitely encouraged to visit MAN by Osborne but that ground has been gone over a number of times.

There were summer charters from China, which I think ended controversially and politics was involved.

Will Bordeaux be back next year?

Another issue to mention is, how much is down to the airport and how nuch is down to airlines constantly late and the ensuing delays - there is no reference to airlines in the article.

I think this is a misleading article: a few minutes cover the first ten airports ( including other large airports) with delays but you don't hear about them. I'm not excusing delays but put putting some perspective on the issue.

Are these flights linked to the evacuation of people from Sudan?

Ended almost immediately after 9/11.

So the flight is not direct between BHX and DOH.

No, your posts haven't been a waste of time, it's the nature of the posts I'm talking about.

A positive post might help.

Thanks Ray.

This is a genuine question!

What does Qatar base demand on when they are not operating from BHX - Emirates and Turkish loads?

Yes, but there is no doubt that on a visit to the UK a Chinese delegation was directed to MAN by the UK government when the delegation was expecting to visit BHX the home at the time of the charters.

The Chinese charters went to MAN in a rather underhand way -- I refer you to the Conservative government at the time. The Chinese were actually going to continue with the charters.

Has BHX got contracts with various sporting bodies? There have been a number of charters over the last few years re football and F1 .

.....but presumably the "eye watering amount" was worth the risk.

The previous post to mine.

Well, if the facts given you were correct, it was a shocking decision by management because in the end there were no flights to the USA.
