    Birmingham: Airport Cargo Operations

    JLR's job cuts are white collar, not blue. Its unlikely to have any impact on cargo to or from JLR. What it might reduce is the JLR bums on Lufthansa seats.

    Birmingham: Airport Nostalgia

    I've been meaning to ask for a while - what do these posts represent? Presumably they arent the only flights operating? Are they a selection of flights that were considered interesting? Or that you happened to take/have a picture of? Or something else?

    Birmingham: General Airport Discussion & Updates

    This was always BHX's worry, partly why they lobbied with Gatwick to designate that as the preferred option (after they'd whittled it down to 3 options (2 at Heathrow, one of which was bonkers, and Gatwick). Mainly for BHX it was the proximity and the knowledge that the low cost airlines had...

    Birmingham: Upcoming Flights & Passenger Travel Plans

    Yes - i think i put a review on here at the time. A pleasure, in both directions, and much more convenient for our hotel than Malaga. The only slight faff was that the spanish taxi firm could only collect from the road on the spanish side of the border, meaning a need to walk across an expanse...

    Birmingham: Upcoming Flights & Passenger Travel Plans

    Just back from a week on the Costa Del Sol. Flew in to Gibraltar. 12 minutes from arrival at the airport to complete bag drop and then pass through security at 5am on a Sunday morning. Arrival back yesterday lunchtime also seamless - though we got in before Qatar unloaded their SLF in to the...

    Birmingham: Upcoming Flights & Passenger Travel Plans

    Arrived at the airport at 6:10am yesterday morning. Off the air rail link straight in to security, no queues at all short of the boarding pass gates. We had fast track, though that got slowed up by a couple at the front. In reality, those without fast track who were with us on the air rail link...

    🅿️ Parking & Transport: Birmingham airport (BHX)

    This is exactly the point i was getting at. The only way this country will prosper long term is if that view of the UK from the rest of the world changes, i.e. that there is more than just London or Edinburgh. I think, to be fair, that it has started to change more recently including off the...

    🅿️ Parking & Transport: Birmingham airport (BHX)

    Never is not the word i would use. Definitely that is the case currently, but we need to be thinking long term future (i.e. 30 years hence) and thinking about how we make the area a desirable place for people across the world to visit by then - and then make decisions on everything aligned with...

    🅿️ Parking & Transport: Birmingham airport (BHX)

    Maybe this is right in the short term to try and bring passengers in. But the biggest problem the UK has is that everything, absolutely everything, is assessed on its value to London. Not surprising, given a major worldwide city (though personally I think that's more on its past rather than its...

    🅿️ Parking & Transport: Birmingham airport (BHX)

    It's not HS2 - its National Highways, building a link road to take M42 NB traffic to the A45 off the J6 roundabout. Its not exactly a huge diversion currently up to the M42 and back... https://nationalhighways.co.uk/our-roads/west-midlands/m42-junction-6/
