I knew about this for a week or so.......just letting it be known officially. Not much info on the BHX website. Good news once again for the airport though! :D

That is great news. HLX seem to be increasing Irish flight but 4U arnt so its good to see some news from them.
Ive also ways wanted to visit Cologne and 4U have really brought it closer to the rest of Europe.
Is STR also a 4U base?

When did Ryanair pull out of BHX, unless BHX are seeing how many people spot their deliberate mistake?

i can see a price war between hlx & germanwings as if you look at hlx.com on the german version, they are advertising birmingham via coventry with tickets at 2.99 euros one way and german wings 19.99 euros one way.
