I think at this late stage, it's highly unlikely any of the outstanding summer 2023 slot requests (QR to DOH, SV to JED and EW to BER) will now come to fruition. BHX will have to continue to rely on LS, FR and EZY for short haul expansion as the remaining 'legacy' carriers are seemingly treading water and as for scheduled long haul, well it looks like it will only be EK and AI for the foreseeable. It's very disappointing to see T5 returning to the UK at STN in favour of BHX, even using the old BHX flight numbers for the new STN - ASB service starting end of March
