Just heard a rumour that QANTAS are starting back at MAN, anybody know anything?

Might be them getting confused with our yearly QF2 service which is due on sunday. Unlike other years though, the QF2 is originating at MAN and not LHR.

However, Jetstar are getting B787's and we are apparently 1st or 2nd on the list of European destinations due to start when the B787's come online. The other 1st or 2nd is AMS

Although a 'small snag,' is the delivery of the No: 2 airbridge which will service the upper deck. According to a very good source within the planning team, this isn't due to be delivered to the airport site until very, very late August

Im getting a bit worried about this gate fiasco. Typical UK planning, do everything at the last minute and find the cheapest alternative possible. If that 2nd jetbridge is installed by 1st september Id be very very surprised. If the actual structure is not due to arrive until end of August, its will be another week at least before its installed and tested.
Dont forget, the upper deck is the F/J deck, so I dont think EK are going to be too amused by this!

Good on you MAG, lets give the world a perfect example of how to ps of your best customer
