Quoting LAX LHR re BFS-MCO and GLA-LAS

"Im safely assuming that the aircraft to run these comes from MAN, given the 'changes to MAN' comment?"

Afraid this was my immediate reaction a few days ago when these services were first reported. The Belfast flights are on Thursdays when we have an MCO and a LAS flight. Virgin having previously chopped our winter LAS service and with competition from TCX, I wonder if we may lose that altogether. However, over 15,000 pax flew the route in June but I don't know the split between airlines. I would have thought VS did well in Business from MAN (certain footballers for example?) so it would be disappointing if they did pull the route.

MCO was also well up in June but I think part of this was TOM? switching from the other Orlando airport.

Edit: It would appear that the series of GLA-LAS is also on a Thursday after the BFS-MCO flights.
