MAN-LHR in freefall if June numbers are indicative.

june 2004 = 120k
june 2005 = 100k
june 2006 = 92k
june 2007 = 76k

Net reduction of 44k passengers in 3 years - the equivalent of the NCL-LHR service in totality lost. MAG annual report and accounts talks of green issues, railways and airport hassle all putting domestic flights under pressure and this would seem to be borne out in the numbers. An interesting one to watch over the coming months considering these numbers won't have been impacted unduly by the most recent airport related security issues.

GLA and EDI as the other two big city pair routings into LHR are also suffering, albeit not quite as markedly.
