Ever considered the fact that operating only to the beach holiday market was what got them into trouble in the first place? Perhaps diversifying a bit and moving into city break territory is just what the doctor ordered.
Just look at their operation at BHX; they've picked up a bunch of cities that were unserved - Lisbon, Porto, Stockholm, Valencia which seem to be working well. Together with the likes of Barcelona, Madrid, Nice, Naples, Rome, Venice and the usual Alicante, Malaga etc you've got a network that is increasingly mirroring what EasyJet have been doing at other airports across the UK.
Zagreb is apparently going to be offered from BHX next year.
