The major problem with the Telegraph headline is the negativity re Birmingham. A number of MPs have inexplicably linked UK aviation capacity to Heathrow but put forward Birmingham as a "possible' answerwith the advent of HS2.
This is of course laughable but any bad publicity (as above) could be misconstrued in some quarters as a reflection on expansion of STN or indeed MAN which continue to go from strength to strength.
Anything outside the M25 is described as regional so if one fails the media will suggest others will to.
