Ian,
A joint announcement would be pretty rare wouldn't it, airlines don't usually like to share the stage with each other, or could they be related companies?
Are you able to elaborate further?
Haven't been up there for a while, but is there room for based units? IIRC, they have enough stands for 8 x B737, but the terminal is a very tight squeeze for early morning departures.
Wasn't Phil Meeson pally with previous management, so I think Jet2 @ CVT has been speculated before, but much of their route network overlaps TOMs, so would they also look east from CVT, or link up their other bases - do we need another airline serving BFS?
About time we saw BUD, WAW etc served from this part of the world. With FR's announcement yesterday, expected new WW routes from BHX, and possibly EMA too, things are about to get very interesting.
