Jet2

Despite MON picking up a lot of the slack from bmibaby, I still feel that their is room for another based carrier at BHX. Ryanair aren't really interested and the cynic in me believes they only keep their BHX base running so they have somewhere to park their spare aircraft in the winter months. EZY have had plenty of opportunity to start a base at BHX in the past but don't seem interested either.

Jet 2 have gone from strength to strength in their existing bases and BHX has often been rumored as a potential new station. The likes of Budapest, Prague, Tolouse, Lisbon, Pisa, a few underserved bucket and spade routes and perhaps something like Madrid or even Tel Aviv would be good to see. Like I say, it's just my two cents but I think these kind of goals are more realistic than chasing somewhere like ORD.
