I think it's fair to say that CWL are simular to LGW and BRS are simular to LHR in repect to traffic (not size!). There is nothing wrong with charter holiday traffic but variety is the spice of life. Both CWL and EXT have a better runway and easier to get to than BRS but BRS has won the overall war on numbers and that is not likely to change anytime soon. Does it matter who carries the most of this and that? The main thing is that aviation is stronger than ever before from South West regionals and people no longer have to drive for hours to go somewhere interesting! Why is there a constant need to CWL to catch up? It's not going to happen and everyone should be happy with the over all picture!
