I think the extortionate charges are probably one of the main reasons why there is not many long haul charters at BHX, add the fact that the runway is too short and it's probably why FCA moved up the road. It makes no sense to pay top dollar charges when your aircraft has to make a tech stop somewhere else to get the cargo that pays for it, and probably saw a large chunk of the profits eaten up.

GB would be great at BHX in the future but if they had thier sights set on TFS then they would have been going up against ZB from BHX so probably a better move from EMA. Hope we see them in the future as there are stil plenty of destinations that could work for them.
