Not sure of the specifics but certainly compared to the West Mids the East Mids has a fairly large population connected to the Gujarat area of India. Whether this would be enough to support a NEMA service (it has been mentioned in their local press) I do not know.
I am not sure exactly how many services that BHX can support to ATQ
but it will take a few months to see how the Air India increase has
affected Turkmenistan and Uzbek. During the last 12 months the CAA
stats show that these two have not done too bad but the GM flights
via Bratislava seemed to have reduced.
