Not sure what to think of the above article - maybe a flat news day? It all seems rather strange that the money to divert the road is dependent on the right application going in - I thought that is exactly what happened with the planning application? I'm still a bit sceptical myself about the actual real demand for flights from BHX direct to the West Coast US and China that this extension would permit (US Airways chopped after just a season), maybe better economic times will help
On a different note nice to see Banjul and Sal Cape Verde on the same arrivals screen amongst the seemingly declining range of European destinations.......perhaps long haul charter is the way forward??
