But good news for aviation in the region as a whole, in my opinion. Coventry is a dreadful place to have an airline base with it being so close to Birmingham and with the CVT and BHX runways at 90 degrees to each other ATC have a nightmare job keeping traffic separated.

Did the region need another passenger carrying facility so close to BHX? CVT is only 25 mins by road from BHX, after all. There may be a little extra inconvenience for the passengers, but the airborne side of ops will be safer and easier (which also equates to safer, in my book).
