Its also been suggested that Bordeaux will be launched from MAN too.
I suppose there could be some truth in it, as seen as Monarch have said they will open routes from MAN to France and Italy, and the fact that MAN have said that all the routes bmibaby will be leaving in 2012 will continue to be served.
Monarch also said increased Spain/Portugal destinations will be opened, so MAD with the AEU co-operation, and maybe OPO as seen as ZB operate FAO, and with TAP being quite cheap, MAN-LIS is pretty much covered.
