Step back and examine the history.
This lot have been around and about for at least three yrs now & have not got passed the paper exercise stage.
Does anyone ever remember the old Caledonian Tristar service to Mahon on Fridays. It nearly always left late after tech problems; re-negotiations with the Mahon AFS to wait up for them;diversions to PMI; and even departures on Saturday. And they want to risk operating one now
Why are there so few long haul flights from BHX......think about the economics. One operator took there service elsewhere so that belly freight could be uplifted from a runway where the aircraft could get airborne and maximise the full payload potential.
History keeps repeating itself; as one starts up at BHX another pulls out.
