However, DELHI, and just DELHI, has a higher O&D from MAN than BHX. I will have to see if there is public link, but, the CAA have produced figures where MAN-XXX-DEL was around 75,000 pax per anum, with another 20,000 travelling over ground to other points to get to DEL.
I look forward to reading the figures when you have them. The figures I provided were from the 2001 census via Wikipaedia.
Also remember that Birmingham and the West Midlands also have strong industrial links to India such as TATA who own Jaguar (based in Mumbai) its not just friends and family that would use the service.
We will have to wait and see who starts services from where. If they start at all!
Remember that this is the Birmingham thread too and the Moderators have deleted post that keep mentioning airports other than Birmingham.
