Now I may turn out to be wrong, but given that Covid-19 isn't going anywhere for the time being, and even the most optimistic don't believe there will be mass vaccination before Q4/2021, I would suggest that all there new based units promised by Ryanair and new bases by Aer Lingus and Wizz could just turn out to be so much thin air.
However Wizz UK clearly sees an opportunity, and how it plays out, and which routes they eventually choose to operate will depend upon how much of an impact their "base" has on BHX. It's all pure conjecture at the moment, and these slot allocations / applications pure works of fiction.
