"The other area of persistent failure at MAN is FLOWN-CARGO, specifically support for dedicated freighter aircraft. The arguments have all been discussed in depth on here"
Maybe there is, i've seen a number of comments that the flights into LHR are essentially carrying freight and that this value does actually cover costs.
Well so much for the "no money in freight argument"
It would explain the large volumes and indeed duplication of routes and services. The market seens to be growing daily.
There are now 25 US flights into LHR beteeen 0600 and 1100 daily. 5 a day from JFK alone.
There is a sense that as we try and emerge from this hell hole , ALL UK long haul demand is effectively but understandably being artificially sucked into a growing "one country, one airport" syndrome.
The MAN management will do well to get back to anywhere near a semblance of a long haul network, EI and SIA is a start, but I hope they are noting what's happening down South and maybe going after a few crumbs.
If that market really is lost maybe court RYR, as another poster suggested , they seem to be the only show in town by some distance.
