At four daily, would MAN be their biggest European destination outside LHR, even beating Gatters?

Those A330s must have been much faster than the B777s of today if both BHX-DXB rotations were operated by the same aircraft.

Aggresively taking market share at a loss is only good if you have deep pockets, think BA at LCY. I wonder if Norwegian are picking too many fights at once sometimes?

Except BHX suffers from a proximity to LHR that MAN lacks. BHX long haul struggles going west, YYZ is another route I always thought was under served.

US preclearance would be used for about an hour a day at BHX, EDI or GLA. It's not nearly as efficient as MAN/DUB. Even LGW has little business case for preclearance.

Seems odd to be going into markets that need a B757, an airliner they're retiring at speed.

True, but if you just about fill a B757, the B788 is a much bigger aeroplane. It's bigger than a B763 and a lot of the routes flown by B757s just won't make the step up, though I suspect BHX will.
