BHX (Birmingham-UK) As an Airline Hub....

[Chris03]

The city of Birmingham in the UK, is pretty much in the middle of the UK. It is surrounded by a huge city, which is relatively wealthy. Making it ideal for an airline hub. Birmingham is also in easy reach by train and car to many cities without airports. But many airlines such as Duo and MyTravel Lite have tried flying out of there, but have ceased, or reduced their operations out of there. Duo went bankrupt and MyTravel Lite, has financial problems, and have had low PAX numbers of most of their routes. I understand that scheduled airlines such as BA, and Continental also have bad loads on many of their flights.
Anyone no why this might be?

closeness to other cities with more extensive facilities.
Heck, Heathrow and Gatwick are just over an hour away by car or train.
Nottingham (EMA), Liverpool and others are close as well.

Unbelievable! I have to use the mirror site: misvA because ##### gets X'd out!

Over at misvA, they're a little more grown up; you can actually spell out Flightsim.com without being censored.
