Since the Hainan BHX announcement this thread has been a brillant read for us BHX entusiasts.
But it pains me to say this but the BHX is a Charter and should not have any influence on what Hainan may or may not do from MAN in respect of a schedule.
People at MAN must really calm down and put things into perpespective.
My belief is that any new scheduled or charter flights into the regions especially from BHX or MAN should be well received, there is life outside of London
