Jump to postI remember in the early 2000s BA flew MAN-JFK 1 daily with 767s. They did BHX-JFK too. Your stating something that I'm sure everything on this thread is already totally aware of.

Jump to postSo basically, the cynic in me tells me we'll see
LHR - MAN / EDI / DUB ? on Virgin Connect to try and compete with BA and all the other FlyBe 'local routes' killed off?
Virgin Group have zero interest in anything in and out of BHX so that'll be the end of FlyBe / VC ops from there too?

What's the betting that as soon as the turbulence ended, people went to the bar wanting a drink.

people assume because BHX is a smaller airport they don't fill the a380 having worked at BHX and worked regularly on the A380 each flight of the 2 a day averages between 5 and 600 passengers per flight that's everyday And I fly from BHX on it regularly because of work at various times of the year, ...

Thanks for the info, It really did look in a landing configuration with the wheels down, it didn't seem like it was climbing however if you reckon the departure was at that time (A6-EUN operated EK40) when I checked Flight Radar for EK40, that already seemed to be heading toward Norwich / Great Yarm...
Jump to postHi all, I was out on a visit in Solihull, West Midlands today around 14:00 there was an EK 380 on approach into BHX. I looked on Flight Radar thinking it was the EK39/40 rotation but that had left much earlier and at this time was already heading toward the coast of the UK however there was no other...

I'll bet SEA will be the first destination. I read here sometime ago that EK has not sent the A380 to SEA so as to avoid pissing-off Boeing. It would make sense that they use the 777x DXB - SEA as the first route.
Well, they need to think of something to do with all of them.
Jump to postThey're down to just one 757 at MAN with IAD cancelled. United/Continental have less capacity at MAN in 2017 than they have for 20 years. The service started in 1995 with a 757, was upgauged to a DC-10 in 1996, and has been either one widebody or 2 757s ever since, notwithstanding the second freque...
Jump to postBut keep MAN even though that's regional too?
Hmmmmmmm...
Well if the advert is anything to go by where you get back from your shower and small boy is playing on his own, unsupervised, in your private suite no wonder this happened.
Even their adverts give the impression its a free for all.
Chances of anyone flying on one of these any time soon is slim - the initial deliveries will go on specific routes (like the newer RR EU* 380 frames that seem to be in an endless cycle of DXB-BKK-DXB) and I doubt they will be retro-fitting the old frames, so they'll initially have 4 to 6 of these th...
Jump to postIt is possible this is just a seasonal down-gauge? Any idea what EK would do with the 2+ extra A380 frames this would free up? Also with QR starting up SFO service next year, wouldn't keeping the A380 provide a competitive product advantage? Would be curious about load factor numbers, if anyone has...

Why do people keep blaming brexit for the JFK-BHX route, it has nothing to do with it whatsoever seeing as Loads have been rubbish since it started Last time I looked, the UK was and still is firmly attached to Europe, and will be for at least the next two years.

Hi, It started off a speculation and rumour but from April 2017, Emirates will no longer be offering the A380 on the DXB-BHX-DXB route. Intitially,the two class A380 is being moved from the lunchtime 39/40 service to the evening 37/38 service, this will run from 31st December until end of March 2017...
