1-2 day meetings...
ung1 - Yes of course many travellers do that, but I don't think BHX is likely to attract those kind of travellers if I'm honest - BHX is hardly a busy airport hub.
Also _most_ people would not leave on a Tuesday to arrive on a Wednesday night in Asia, spend Thursday and Friday in meetings and then fly back to arrive on Saturday - unless they were crazy!

Having said that, I have no clue what the economic demographics of BHX are, so perhaps you're right that it's not the kind of market that would support such travel.

I've certainly flown on a Tuesday/Wednesday for Thurs/Fri meetings in HKG or the US.

Let's hope so, the more choices out of BHX the better for me, I am literally ten minutes away from the airport.
Although by the time they get them, the runway extension at BHX will be finished and lets hope Emirates upgrades at least one of their services to an A380.
But still, a pipe dream for now.

Whether they can fill the flights is another matter. But I think a third daily flight will come sooner, here's hoping it'll be this year.
