Just my opinion but,
I think that 2008 may be the best bet for any real improvement for BHX. By that time the BA/BE situation will be sorted out fully and there will be at least 1 more transatlantic operator (DL,NW,US,AA?) and then another Middle eastern operator (most likely QR). With all of the recent transatlantic expansion I was very surprised to see BHX not taken up by any of them, but are CO going double daily again next year? I know they lost a packet last time they did that!
It's going to be an interesting time though to see what routes BE keep of BA's and if anyone will take over any they drop. Could we see Click to BCN and MAD, AF doing LYS, more LH from FRA, DUS and new routes to TXL, HAM, STR or more HLX if not and AZ back to do MXP and FCO?? And what are WW going to do? More GLA and EDI i guess and perhaps increasing on their exciting routes like PMI, AGP, ALC!!!
