Justplane crazy Re BHXC-MAN-Qatar
It could well be right, Qatar said in 2011 they were already planning to increase services out of Manchester when the time was right.
Would be BHX usual bad luck, that the delays in 787s for Qatar, would lead to them focusing instead on increasing MAN with another 330.
Far less risky to add another flt on an existing route when you have the infrastructure already in place that start from scratchout of BHX.
BHX chances haven't been helped by stagnation and some reversal in loads with EK dropping from mid to high 80% down to mid 75% in recent months..certainly won't encourage Qatar that theres enough of the cake left for them to the region.
No doubt if they do announce another MAN flt, it will be curtains for Qatar at BHX
