AC ROuge season length

AC Rouge MAN-YYZ was a good deal longer than 7 weeks this summer. It started around 25th June and has only just ended this weekend, so about 12-13 weeks.

Previous Far East services from MAN

...and let us not forget good old QANTAS who flew direct (but not non-stop) to BKK and later HKG? via intermediate European cities or LHR between 1983 and 1994. QF9/10.

T3 stand capacity

T3 stand capacity has changed somewhat since the days when BA/EK etc had B747 / A330 /B777 services. At that time Stand 55 was Code E and Stand 54 was a B767 stand. Not any more. In 2011/12 the...

It was a 767 today, and remains so until December 12th, I understand. Then it's a 757 for the rest of winter before returning to 767 for summer 2014.
