If the Chinese do go for something outside Heathrow it will be interesting to see which city they choose, especially after the £800m announcement of investment by Beijing Construction in Manchester.
With Saudia , Rouge and UsAir all announcing new services next year, albeit highly seasonal I still wonder if BHX really is to near London and doesnt have a distinct enough identity.
Would HS2 improve things OR simply suck more pax away. Unless there is a build up of critial mass soon I just cannot understand the logic that suggests pax would choose from a sprinkling of services at BHX when you could hop on HS2 and be at LHR with a vast range of options in a short space of time....same applies to Manchester where a new HS2 station will be built near the airport.
It seems like madness to me and yet the CEOs of both airports think HS2 will be great for both airports
