Monarch

MANFOD[B]

BHX is a bit like Manchester with the Monarch schedules, it appears to be a loss but probably only one unit at most.

Big differences with the competition at BHX or should I say lack of and even the loss of one aircraft would be a disappointment (realise it could have been worse), as thus far Ryanair have reduced the base and flybe don't have any Sun routes on sale.

Manchester is sitting pretty on both short and long haul but BHX is more the latter, which is good to a certain extent but vulnerable on short-haul with the Monarch the major player to the Med. I know some Manchester supporters will always want more but from here in the Midlands it seems they have all bases covered.

I wonder if today's Qatar announcement will provoke Emirates into action.
