EI should dump both BHX and MAN. 50% load factors in June!
There is a very large market for travel to Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham from mid August to mid May for the many premiership and Champions League games which Man United, Liverpool, Man City Aston Villa etc are involved in. I suggest you take a look at the fares on the days before and after Man United are playing at home and you will get a good idea of how much money can be made. Last year for the Sunderland game BMI baby were charging Euro680 retrurn. Aer Lingus and Ryanair were quite a bit "cheaper" at Euro450. The BMIbaby flts I travelled on were full. This is a regular occurence over the winter months.
