Emirates etc
Some very interesting and thought provoking comments re "shed" etc
I must confess I thought the prospect of a third daily EK would be overkill BUT there is just a chance that EK might infact be the saviour of Manchester.
The extra publicity that the A380 generates should theoretically be a really great platform for the airport to publicise and market long haul service via Dubai. Pity our new MD could not have been pitched in earlier to front this !
As I said previous if we cannot generate direct service I would gladly settle for an eventual hourly service to Dubai !
Pity they could not offer services to the US and Canada.....!
Just out of curiosity would this growth diminish if EK joined Star Alliance or OneWorld ?
Meanwhile maybe the term "Provincial Capital" could be used henceforth, somewhat "republican" but certainly sounds more 2010 than 1910 to me.....!
