Flybe

Flybe are the obvious ones on a BHX originating aircraft operating into Luton in between.
However there are several issues to overcome even assuming Waterford throw lots of money their way.
Their BHX schedule is full, which will mean waiting until winter or reducing frequencies elsewhere, which of course is never out of the question but makes things difficult.
Flye also seem to have Dash 8 delivery issues, as BHX received major French route expansion this summer which was to be an extra based Dash 8 but what happened in reality is that they reduced the Hanover to daily from double daily and the extra aircraft never arrived.
Then there is the double daily Rotterdam which was to start in September and has been put back until October. I have heard that this is due to aircraft shortage blamed on Republic going into chapter 11 and delaying deliveries of the Dash 8.
None of this is insurmountable but BHX would only support 3-4 weekly in winter I would have thought or 5 at a push and it depends if the sweetener is enough to tempt them.
