New services would often be announced with a fanfare of trumpets from Olympic House. 12-18 months later, we would ask 'has the LOT been in today'?......Oh, no they've finished. Look at the number of operators who have been and gone over the years.

Is the 'Manchester experience' being nurtured at the other 2 MAG sites, I wonder? I hope not. In the past, EGNX was a great little airport.
MAN has started a major investment programme so things will improve. You need the services to pay for this and at the end the day at sparkling new airport with no services isn't much use.
