Re: MANCHESTER
Air India tried Manchester back in the 90s and it was a spectular failure. The service then was originally planned for Birmingham, but was hijacked at the last minute with the lure of zero landing fees at Manchester. Air India assumed that passengers would not mind travelling to Manchester to fly with them, but were soon proved wrong. Further proof of this can be seen with the success of services by the likes of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan from BHX to India, both of which have also tried from Manchester without much success.
