I actually think that BHX is doing OK, and actually starting to make some real headway. It would be doing a lot better if EMA wasn't 50 minutes up the road, but it is.
Interesting. However, whilst EMA has lost it's passenger income to cargo, BHX gave EMA the opportunity to revive until a certain point. BHX is passenger oriented, EMA is now freight. oriented
BHX can accommodate the occasional freight operation without issues. The times of comparing BHX with EMA were lost when British Midland were allowed to collapse!
