I would be surprised if MAN didn't lead the revival of air travel in the UK. BBC are moving a number of offices 'up north' and added to that the process of renovating the most invested city on the planet will start to be fruitful as the economy recovers, I predict MAN to lead the way, even if it is small.
I would also be surprised if we don't see an airline, over the next 5 years, move into MAN and create a hub system. I personally hope for either Lufthansa/BMI or Jet Airways and if, as said above, they are losing money by the flight I would like to think they may make a move to the UK. It would be a major benefit for MAN to grab six daily flights, whether A332 or B77W.
I some how see it a far fetched fantasy in the short term but in the medium (5 years), I would like to think a large long haul carrier would look at MAN.
We shall have to wait and see...
