I've not seen any update yet to the initial Slot report for MAN in which mention was made of 19 Ryanair based a/c for S22. However, some of the slots offered (about 10% as I recall) were more than 30 minutes, and most of those more than an hour, outside requested times which may not have been acceptable, terminal capacity presumably being the restraint. From memory, a small percentage of slots for Ryanair and Ryanir UK were not allocated at all. It's possible after the return deadline for slots, better timings may have become available. However, a figure I have heard mentioned more recently is 15 based which would be 3 more a/c rather than the 7 in the report.
It was reported a while back that easyjet were basing an extra 2 aircraft at MAN for the summer. If it was 17 previously (can anyone confirm?), that would take it to 19 if those plans still stand.
