Perhaps I'm the only one who doesn't understand the hype about airbridges? I for one quite enjoy the idea of actually walking up the stairs to my plane, whilst this is not the time of year that best exemplifies walking given the wind & rain, I think there's something enjoyable about walking across the ramp to the aircraft. Practically, EMA is a predominantly low-cost & charter airport who are looking at keeping their costs as low as possible, as a result they're unlikely not only to want to pay for airbridges, but also add time to their turnarounds by having the airbridge attached. I'd prefer that BHX keeps their Taj Mahal terminal with airbridges etc. and we continue to attract airlines that can give us low-fares and passenger growth!
