Quote: "Don't forget BRS and BFS with transatlantic connections to EWR, LCY with transatlantic connections to JFK, ABZ with a link to GYD, and LBA with links to ISB and LHE. Limited longhaul, admittedly, but it deserves to be counted. Then there are several airports with longhaul charter/holiday flights to be considered as well."
Apologies, forgot EDI also with links to EWR!
Quote: "Which I still believe will be a tall order in developing long haul routes to the degree that BHX will become a viable alternative hub to LHR"
Correct, it ain't going to happen, but a small scale hub at BHX and/or GLA may be possible, as BE appear to be doing at MAN quite successfully.
