I suspect that the dearth of activity on the thread is due to a lack of news items arising. We haven't given up on it! The main 'route announcement season' is behind us; few businesses were issuing press releases of any kind during the short working week running into the royal wedding; no significant events affecting MAN were reported; and, the April stats are not yet available. And with regard to the stats (when they do appear), comparison with the volcano-blighted April 2010 will make it difficult to identify underlying trends and draw meaningful conclusions anyway.
Just a quiet news period, really. Hopefully, the Manchester United v Schalke 04 CL semi-final (tomorrow) and the crucial weekend Manchester United v Chelsea premiership fixture will brighten up life at the airport shortly (airlifts expected for both). Otherwise, enjoy the sunshine until the real summer traffic levels kick in.
