Both Birmingham, Nottingham and many other cities will be within MAN's claimed carchment area. I don't think this is unusual.
If there was low or no demand outside of London, the BA shuttle would not exist, and regional airports would have no long haul flying programme.
In the UK I think we fall into the trap of comparing the regions to london, which is almost in a league of its own on a global basis because it is the political, social, financial, cultural and sporting centre of the UK.
If you compare the UK's regions to major cities over Europe, they compare favourably.
