With regard to Easy, they face competition from others in MAN and EDI as examples, and Jet2 have decided to set up in BHX facing the same issues as Easy, perhaps harder as they are probably not quite as well known in the West and south Midlands etc. It still strikes me as odd, looking at Easy network BHX must be one of the larger W European airports to have so little Easy activity, they don't even keep GVA all year which imho would be viable, after all BHX must surely have the best road and rail feeds of any other airport in the UK. Furthermore they op and base extensively at LPL and MAN, even closer together than BHX and EMA. Perhaps they can't get a good deal, but that seems odd given the recent influx of locos, it must be me but as one of the largest locos it just seems odd to not have at least some presence at BHX given its size?
