I agree with the majority of things written on here, there's some toot, but it's great to see the airports other than London finally making proper headway in the industry - Bhx is lagging behind MAN somewhat but the growth of both airports is turning to be very interesting.
I disagree hugely with the earlier comment about the market not being large enough to support the route year round. People said the same about BHX and Emirates when it started - and now lots of interesting rumours about the evening going to a 380 too.
Just a final thought:
Hainan to MAN
Capital to BHX
Tianjin to LGW
All HNA group airlines...
