Their strategy is based on cooperation with BHX in the sense of an airport system, where each of the airport in the region (BHX, EMA, CVT) have their dedicated role. CVT's role will essentially BA/GA and ad-hoc/specialised freight. They are well connected globally and are able to bring, inter alia, substantial MRO operations to CVT.
Well that concurs with the rumours...I suppose the Council will brag about it first chance they get. The tie up with BHX makes sense but not sure about EMA...??
