The Not so good news
Over the past couple of days the Alicante and Malaga routes from Manchester have become unavailable to book and passengers booked on these services have been issued a refund. From someone i know booked on the AGP service explanation or alternate given, other than the usual operational issues statement. Is this just start of a mass culling of routes from MAN? or could it just be a major rescheduling to the summer program at MAN next year? I really hope that they are not sourcing the additional aircraft from other bases, as they will be biting there nose off to spite their tails... I thought the MAN base would be performing well especially on these routes, so that's why i am baffled. Also earlier in the year, did they not say how well they are doing at MAN and how they planned future expansion there...
Other rumours; Reducing the CWL base further or even closing the base. Not much news on the BHX front however though, so hopefully nothing there will get reduced or changed!
Anyone have any more news or info ?
