Aircraft Parking

Why has BHX become a 'car' park for aircraft? Ryanair park their unused 737's during the winter, and now there are 2 Greek ATRs parked for the forseeable future. I guess this would mean no room for diversions. I would have thought that Gloucester, Bournemouth or Filton at a push would have been cheaper and more suitable.

Still I guess it's easy revenue for the airport. I wouldn't be surprised if it was cheaper to park an aircraft than a car after my recent experience of charges
