Apart from the Beatours one (of which I was unaware) TEA used to operate mostly adhocs to UK I believe. BHX used to see them on and off operating day trips for visitors to exhibitions at the NEC in the first few years after it opened, and at a time when BHX wasn't exactly well served with scheduled services from much of Europe.
Those NEC charters declined significantly as the likes of Lufthansa, Air France, Sabena and their ilk started operating multi daily services into BHX.
