Maybe its dropping to 5 weekly but with a 763?

With the Olympics next year wasnt it confirmed that the USA and China teams are basing themselves in Brum? I heard they were 18 months ago but quiet since then. What extra traffic is expected or planned if any for the event?
I know the Jamaican team have confirmed their base in Brum.
With LHR at almost full capacity, airlines laying on extra flights will be looking elsewhere to fly punters in. I guess the South East could absorb all these but at what charge? This could be a good advertising opportunity for BHX if they can get some of this adhoc traffic from London.
For once, BHXs close proximity to London could be an advantage and 120miles nearer to London than MAN.
