MANCHESTER - 9

[Bagso]

.....and in the same week JET2 started a couple of new flights albeit to a couple of sun destinations (without any fanfare from the airport).

.....and Qatar used the Dreamliner on Doha services a brilliant opportunity to indicate the airlines faith in Manchester, it was at least heartening to see the airport getting its priorities right and redressing the balance with some robust marketing by promoting Virgin Holiday Manchester to New York to its 60,000 followers via Twitter.

"Hang on we don't have a DIRECT flight to New York with Virgin !"

"Must be a code share, oh that's Delta and they go to Atlanta !"

"It must be a new service which is great, but wait has there been an announcement surely they are not suggesting people fly via Heathrow on a Virgin Shuttle are they ?

Am I missing something here ?

Charlie Cornish CEO 1st NOV The Business Desk

"we will soon launch a 'Fly Manchester' campaign targeted at those four million people a year who use Heathrow each year".


This is complete and utter bloody madness, who on earth is managing this output when we have a direct flight with UNITED !

The route development manager is addressing a local group of spotters next month, can I please beg somebody to ask what the hell is going on ...

...idiots, complete idiots !
