If they want to set up at BHX nobody can stop them, but I don't think I would be offering incentives to them.
In the 1990s... people thought Easyjet were a bunch of cowboys... some airport chose to encourage Easyjet (e.g. Liverpool) while others kept Easyjet at arms length until they realised it was too late. As far as I know, slots at Birmingham do not trade for the same kind of money as those at Heathrow, which suggests Birmingham has space. If Wizz can pay the airport fees and BHX can make a profit on the revenue associated with the flight (airport fees, car parking, retail sales, etc...), then BHX should grab the business.
