If there is to be competition on MAN, would T3 be one of the few airlines able to look at it? If loads are not great, perhaps a JS41 could operate - low pax nos. maybe, but might yield may be sufficient for them? Mind you JS41 v
E135/145, but both airlines still fly to NWI which is prop v jet. Plus difference in flights times on MAN - ABZ may not be too much different over what is a relatively short sector.
Beginning to doubt, despite all the talk, that we'll see significant low cost ops up here. Always another market somewhere else that locos are prepared to serve first. When it comes to the locos they merely tinker at the edges at ABZ. I'm sure people up here would use them, after all other parts of the UK do, why not here?
See GSM have halved their proposed freq to MJV (Wed flight axed, now once weekly). Understandable, as I said before GSM will find some destinations will work better than others, & ALC is quite close by. Some routes will work, others will need tweaking, others won't work. Nature of the business.
Can't recall if reported before, Direct Hols apparently not operating MAH this summer after all.
Have BAA commenced apron work yet to increase stand availability?
