BHX5DME
I'm a massive supporter of MAN, but I am also a massive supporter of all regional flying. Yes, I'd prefer a scheduled Hainan at MAN, but I be nearly as chuffed if it was at BHX.
The thing is life does exist outside London, and routes like this, and others, prove that, and hopefully all regional airports will prosper.
For far to long have regional fliers had routes denied, or even taken off them, as it did not fit in with airlines, or hubs, ideal.
I welcome a change to that ideal and a fairer spread of services nation wide.
