Thats a true point, CWL had more long haul route for years. yet BRS has always had the pax numbers I.E. more pax a year than CWL. BRS last year handled 4.5million and this year prob be 5.5million yet doesnt since to attract long haul route, but on the charter and european market it seems to be going from strenght to strenght. How far is CWL behieve BRS is Pax numbers? If AA are using smaller equipement like 757s to NCL nxt year to JFK and MAN to BOS, BRS could attract other american carriers. EK weather its BRS or prob CWL it will not be long til they come to the south west. Would TCX ever operate at 757 to YYZ from BRS like GLA and BHX, LGW like they have been this summer. I mean alot of carriers using the 757 with ESTOPs, have found it a ideal aircraft for the long haul sector.
