Many of the short haul flights out of MAN have been operating on the A330's of late, with loads of only around 180 - 200 pax. This would suggest they're suffering from an aircraft shortage. They got rid of a couple of 320's to other airlines just before the start of the summer and it appears they're suffering a little as a result. No A320's are based at MAN at the minute. MAN currently has 2 based A321's (G-SMTJ and G-DHJH) and a third 321 (G-NIKO) has been positioning in from BHX/NCL at weekends and then positioning out again. Clearly not ideal and if this continues, there are bound to be delays as a result
