Whilst fares may be cheaper, quality of service, higher frequency and certainty of timings may well be a game changer.
Interestingly Air India did operate a Manchester service which was dropped. Traditionally the Indian market has always been BHX based and Manchester has a bigger Pakistani market. I think with the problems at PIA , I cant see them coming back to BHX but hopefully Air India can still make a go of it despite Virgins competition
