If you'd asked BHX if they would have 2 carriers, let alone 3, on MAD a few years ago they'd probably have looked at you as though you were daft...but I do agree the two regions are very different.
When you're looking at business traffic connecting through Madrid to South America, frequency probably isn't as as vital; timing - to connect with as many onward flights as possible, with minimum transit time is more important.
Moving on from MAD, I would have thought FRA minimum 2 x daily ought to be top of the wishlist, and I'm surprised that NCL hasn't got that yet - even once daily. If not FRA, then MUC surely.
