IF the rumours prove founded, then I would think that even if cargo isn't the reason, then that is how it will be spun.
Problem is that for the media, and for that matter many airport operators, not to mention enthusiasts, cargo is the cinderella sector. BHX rarely seems to deliver accurate cargo figures to the CAA - or if they do, then the tonnages suggested by the figures are at considerable odds the the tonnages quoted here previously, and don't appear to bear out the number of freighters handled through the airport on charters, especially for the vehicle industry - but of course you don't know how many kg of cargo there may be on each chartered flight - sometimes it could be very little.
