A snippet from a report about the Evening Standard 'debate' into aviation policy and capacity in the South East held recently
But there are other possibilities, including expansion at Stansted or Gatwick. The one option that seems unviable is expansion at Birmingham. As Mr Walsh remarked, demand from airlines to land there has actually gone down in recent years
.
So that will be a no then from BA to coming back to BHX!! As I pointed out in a previous post, it is this kind of thinking that BHX is up against in its quest to become a viable alternative to LHR. The problem is that it is not seen as viable! I seem to remember reading somewhere else that QF have said if LHR runs out of suitable capacity they will simply increase flights from FRA and feed UK pax through there. This despite both MAN and BHX being available!! Good luck PK and team, I think you will need it!
