When CX appear, offering HKG daily, I'll skip down the central reservation of the M56, naked, in rush hour, whilst eating my hat.
Easyjet - don't know, although they did apply for slots in the summer.
concorde001. I wouldn't worry about PIA going direct to the USA. They carry so few passengers between MAN, YYZ and JFK anyway, and they probably take up stand space at the moment. We know that's a peak time problem at T2
Yes the MAN - Pakistan market is huge, and PIA are apparently to be joined by Airblue and that other uk airline, the name of which I forget.
