Not so, no one but no one travels from Birmingham to Sydney via London
anymore thanks to Emirates (twice a day and booming).

Emirates plan to use A380s into Brum once the runway extension is
complete.

And it's not just Emirates.

.... err... no therefore more trips via Amsterdam, Paris, Frankfurt or
even Dublin.

You've been reading too many of those hopelss BA projections that
thankfully so few other airlines agree with.

BA lives in a dream World where everyone pays over the odds because
it's BA and they like to be reminded what it's like to be insulted.

BA has desterted Brum and it will be their loss as FlyBE and now
Ryanair move in en mass.
