Depends on how you look at things, Manchester's last seven months have been good but it is still patchy. Their October passenger throughput almost beat their 1998 figure......... At least BHX is at 2001-2002 levels
Pete, you are passionate about BHX and I applaud that. People slag off an airport when the times are bad but then claim to support it when times are good, however you seem to have stuck by BHX through thick and thin.
Times are getting better at BHX with extra Monarch, baby and Lufthansa flights, but, personally I wouldn't say 7 consecutive months of growth is 'patchy' compared to an airport that is once again in decline, and even if MAN is still at 1998 levels, to see that it has more pax than BHX despite being at 2002 levels show the gap between the 2 airports is very large indeed.
