I think BHX airport primary role is there to serve the people of the West Midlands.

It is doing that very well at the minute . We cannot and should not try and take on the role of a 3rd runway for southern England.

Seems likely the PM will do a complete U turn tonight and brake his promise to make a final decision before the end of the year.

There is the London Major elections on 1st May and with Tory candidate Zac Goldsmith has threatened to resign if LHR was picked. So we will probably get a decision later in May..

In the meantime BHX can strive to increase its passenger numbers and 2016 is already looking like double digit increases.

In the spring BHX also announces its revised airport expansion masterplan ,with phased building projects and apron additions.

So think it will be fine
