It would be wise to accept that PK and his management team do not and cannot treat BHX as their personal fiefdom but IMHO would be working to a strategy that has been approved and is supported by the board of directors and shareholders
PK, his team, the Board, shareholders, whoever, it's quite clear that they all only have a thin grasp reality. BHX has done itself no favours by conjuring up this idea, although has got people talking which I guess is the idea
Also any of theairlines in Europe that want to start a new service will get the first year free then a sliding scale of increases over following years Im told
Problem is it would appear that the airlines don't want to start new services. Answers on a postcard.
BHX will not attract the big business that fills the front end of long haul aircraft
Hang on, hold that postcard. And not just for long haul or the front end - it's why MAN has LH A321's scheduled to FRA and 320's to MUC as opposed to BHX with A320's and E95's respectively, AR1 to ZRH as opposed to MAN with A320's
