The August extras thus far are a Friday Faro and Saturday Malaga, quite pathetic compared to EMA.
Without sounding funny, hopefully it will remain that way. I'm a bit biased I know as I live in the East Midlands but hopfully EMA will always remain bigger with FR traffic. With the exception of Ryanair and Jet2 (who I find very comparable to Monarch who are now very big in BHX), virtually everything we now have at EMA is just BHX on a smaller scale and it's nice to have a major airline that chooses a regional airport like EMA as a major base.

However, BHX does have more FR this year with the new BCN, BGY and the continuation of the KRK route. It's good to see that FR can maintain these routes at both BHX and EMA, unlike in the north-west where some routes like BGY, CIA and RIX have been axed from LPL and now go from MAN instead (which personally I prefer, but Liverpudlians are probably not so happy.)
