Was it not mentioned on another thread that the LPL contract was dropped from BHX? I think we need to stop thinking of these as MAN, BOH, LPL or BHX decisions. I would expect that in these ad hoc (particulalrly bulk loading) cases there are independent operators getting the business which the airport provides the basic facilites for.
