FR @ BHX

You are quite correct, ten mentioned but no time-frame in this
press release from their website (useless really): -
quote
"This will be followed by a further 8 Boeing 737-800 aircraft ($560m investment) which will deliver 5 million passengers annually, a visitor spend of £400m p.a. and sustain 5,000 jobs in the West Midlands."

As for the BHX routes, to say that there is no demand is right in some
cases such as BLG, HHN, TRF, PGF REU plus the regular suspensions of PIS, MRS, TRS & TPS.
There was reasonable demand for OPO, PMI & NYO but what there
wasn't, was the willingness to pay a sustainable fare for the flights
and hence I suppose the reason why these went.
If I had to be critical it is more to do with why these routes were
chosen in the first place compared to established markets such as
Madrid & Rome (which had just ended) and other non-EMA FR routes
such as TSF and RAK.
