Not been a good time for BHX since Monarch, it was only a couple of years ago and new airlines/routes were frequently being announced. I am surprised that no Chinese link has been announced given all the noise when the charters operated and of course the runway capability? There are strong commercial links, particularly Automotive etc. between China and the Midlands, educational links are also strong especially with Warwick Uni amongst others, and there are strong tourist pulls as well, too obvious to mention. Given all the noise with new additional Chinese links to MAN (well done) and EDI and DUB. I would have thought in all this expansion there would have been room for a BHX link, either as a stop as in EDI/DUB or a add on to say BRU/DUS etc.etc. Maybe I'm being naïve, but there must be strong freight demand too? Well I'm not well informed so this might all be pie in the sky from me, perhaps those with more knowledge might like to enlighten me?
