At the time the red list started it was stated that Manchester hotels weren’t keen to become quarantine hotels, so as stated why would MAN want to push it? Take your blinkers off and think it through. Any hotel that signs up is not going to be able to accommodate regular guests, and as England (hopefully) opens up, demand for hotels near airports will increase as travel increases. Heathrow has the luxury of volume, so a dozen people needing quarantine off each flight soon mounts up, but Manchester doesn’t have that, or the number of hotels in close proximity, It also doesn’t seem to make any difference as to whether Emirates operates, which may help explain why Birmingham agreed to do it.
