Great news indeed for BHX for them to be proud of.
However you are only as good as your last lot of figures and as Gayfriendly has said MAN is able to point to multiple new airline and route gains in the last 12 months or so for a lot of their success.
The only worry for BHX is that most of our growth has come from current airlines in particular Fly Be and Monarch. Also some from the highly successful Air India route,Emirates and increases in our full fare euro airlines to main destinations such as FRA,CDG,IST.
To keep these great figures rolling and with the economy now back on track BHX needs to attract more airlines and routes.
There is a slight danger in having to rely on just Fly Be and Monarch for significant Euro growth if anything happens to them then they have a problem.
Obviously if you cannot attract other airlines you have to make do with any expansion you can get with your regular ones.
However heres to BHX getting some significant new carriers as well.
