It will be interesting to see what develops - and in this game, you never know what is round the corner.
With the whole EMA/BHX thing - as a comparison, keep your eyes on MAN, they got a few 'focus' routes at the same time as BHX, and FR are rumoured to want a MAN base. But I don't for one minute think that it will mean a pull out of LPL.
Only a few months ago all the talk was EZY "planning" to up sticks and move down to BHX.
Let's not forget FR also have their new BRS base just down the road from BHX too. - so rather than FR suddenly entering a love-affair with BHX at the expense of EMA, STN or any other cuurent base, it clearly seems that FR are going for total market dominance. Will be quite a claim for the whole UK market to be with-in a 1 hour drive of an FR airport - not there yet, but the way they are going they could be.
