In June 2001, Airbus A310's began to be used making the flight direct, and a new LHE-BHX-YYZ and KHE-ISB-BHX-YYZ was added. Around that time 747's were occasionally used. This made 6 weekly flights... Read more ..read more

BHX is now open for business (after being open / closed at least three times this morning). What I cannot understand is that we all knew this weather was coming (since at least the middle of last week) and we still get caught out. I look forward to hearing about anything else that may have either come in or... Read more ..read more
