BA MAN to JFK is highly profitable, so why would they want to ditch it??? They have no intenion of scrapping the service. I have heard that the new head guy at BA is apparently keen to expand long hauls at MAN though, that could be excellent news for the airport and region if it is true!
Are we sure the announcement of a Chicago service isn;t in fact Cathay HKG - MAN - ORD...????
