American Airlines to relaunch direct flights to Birmingham (BHX)
Sign Now
We, the undersigned, call upon the Leader of Birmingham City Council, Cllr. Mike Whitby, to represent Birmingham and West Midlands in establishing a permanent and daily direct flight from Birmingham to Chicago. We call upon Cllr. Whitby to bring this issue to the attention of the many Aviation Executives and Government of Chicago.
American Airlines started flights to Birmingham on 26 May 1995 with the Chicago-Birmingham route using a Boeing 767-200. Due to popular demand, the service was upgraded to a Boeing 767-300. Sadly in 2002, the service was axed due to the business community not using the service enough. The load factors were very high and the service had gathered lots of support from the Midlands community.
This petition is needed to provide a voice for the people within the Midlands and wider region who have ties in the United States. This service should be relaunched as a daily service with a Boeing 777-200 aircraft. People should regard this service as not only a final destination but as a gateway offering opportunities for West Midlands travellers to reach the whole of the US.

I think it would be great to have Delta come to BHX or even Air canada. However I really think british airways needs to start doing flights from bhx to lhr as if manchester can receive BA domestic flights, then why cant we BHX.?? I also think AA would be

Personally, I'd rather fly from Heathrow even though Birmingham is my local airport.

A B777 is not big enough to service the massive demand for Chicago, especially from the Walsall area. I would suggest an A380. At least twice daily.
