In terms of long haul, BHX is currently the LGW of the North, too close to LHR
Normally we have these kind of posts when nothing is happening , but actually there is alot happening and surely there will be more to come.
CA LGW-PEK A322 summer only
A slot warming exercise for when the BHX service will be announced
Seriously though, why the heck would a service like that be seasonal?
In any case i think MAN would win the race if a UK regional airport-china link was up for grabs but i'm only 60/40 so as has been said we will have wait and see.
