BW JM........Caribbean services relaced by VS and these will hopefully expand
???
VS 10 times a week
10 times a week VS is to
Orlando, hardly replacing BWIA or AJM.
VS to BGI & UVF are once a week winter only.
I also missed El AL from the list of those that have cut & run, that is despite a huge affluent Jewish community in Manchester.
I never said the list was exclusive pax operations, but Northwest was a regular scheduled cargo service, as were dedicated cargo services by Alitalia, Finnair & KLM ( oh remember when KLM & SWR operated A310s into MAN),
Sure airports lose routes for all sorts of reasons, but there seems an awful lot here. Maybe there should be something like a "route retention unit" within the MA Group, with a view to maintaining & helping to promote services. Some (airlines)have been terribly bad at publicity, maybe completely unaware of our northern culture & how to capitalise on it. Just a thought.
