Gatwick is a more sensible option, or even investment in Manchester
Doesn’t matter. Virgin could only slightly shift toward Manchester but Heathrow is always going to have them by the balls. LGW and STN are just too far out. Once HS2 is up and running I’d be surprised if BHX continues to be a strange no-go zone for long haul British carriers though. There’s a reason it’s only holiday destinations from there but I’m not sure why. Infrastructure and capacity issues possibly.

Agree. Heathrow is oversaturated
