Etihad

Quite an increase from the 330 to the 77W but pax figures have been going through the roof. I would have thought there would have been
much whooping with joy on this thread about this increase.

All dates I checked this winter are showing as the 77W.

Jet2

Now the bad news, I know it has been mentioned in previous posts
but I am shocked at the lack of winter flights. Have I checked correctly that there are no Monday or Wednesday flights except for Christmas,
New Year and February?

Three aircraft based at most per the timetable, again is this right?
I suppose with profits of £300000 before the downturn something
had to be done. They have an aircraft spare tomorrow as well as
they are taking Villa out to Iceland. Do they have any aircraft
with downtime at MAN in the summer months but I suppose it is
another way of keeping the money coming in.

Emirates

Tim Clark was quoted today (forget the rag) that if oil goes down to
$105 then new routes such as AMS, KBP, BCN, EZE, ALG and DUR will
be considered but it did not go into increasing capacity on existing
routes. Is their a source to this rumour of a third daily?
