Well Ryanair have the perfect excues. We are closing our BHX due to the UK travel tax
More like due to lack of interest.......I have no idea why FR opened a base at BHX. After the initial flurry of new routes (some of which were blatantly never going to work) and marketing it has all gone down hill with the only new routes of late being those to destinations already served (and thats only two, FUE and MLA). FR have always been good to EMA and I think BHX's role with FR in the future will solely be with routes that can be sustained from both airports (ie Poland and Spanish sunshine) EMA will get all the new and for want of a better word 'exciting' destinations. EMA based FR a/c 8, BHX 3 says it all really.......
