Its a shame MAN didn't keep the CLT route, it was actually getting some good numbers after a slower start.
The good thing is, MAN trans Atlantic capacity is still up for Summer 2015 versus this year.
We have lost Charlotte, and a suspension until April on Chicago.
However,
we have an increase on capacity to Atlanta, an extra 10 weekly flights to JFK, including 3 weekly on an A330, as well as 2 weekly to Miami.
There are also increases on Air Canada to Toronto, Thomson increases a few Caribbean routes and Puerta Vallarta. Thomas Cook also increases a few of their other TATL routes too.
This is not including the Thomas Cook Los Angeles and Providence routes, which, as well as appearing in the TCX website, but also now being advertised on the local radio stations as routes from Manchester.
So, not all doom and gloom!
