So maybe it will become a seasonal route?
Seems most likely, however on asking around it seems a few people are adamant that it will be year round, with some suggesting Egyptair have signed a full 2 year, year round contract at MAN?
The story I was told was that a tour company has brought the entre allocation of seats for the winter season, thus making the flight a 'charter' route for the winter, but, it seems a definitive answer is not forthcoming
