Mancry
The reason why Manchester has your stated
long-haul routes IS BECAUSE BA has 'neglected'
Manchester in favour of London.You dont get the
mix of carriers any where else with the obvious
exception of LHR,as you do in Man
I can only assume that the JFK makes so much
money for them that they dare not cut it!
Any increase in BA long-haul from Manchester
would affect other carriers - but I think the dye
has been caste - with GB moving in on leisure
routes and maybe BARed (Crap name) picking up
minor (as in 50 seat) 'business' eurozone routes.
I'm still struggling with the fact that BA is a
'favorite' airline given that everybody seems
to slag them off.
Who the hell flies with them????
BA has always had 2 London bases and in all the
years this has not changed at all.
I for one would rather see more exotic traffic at
Manchester in the future than BA B747's/B777's
thundering down 24 left.
