The original comments focused on whether MAN, an airport, were doing the right thing by AA, an airline, if pax on their routes to ORD & JFK were bused between T1 & T3 and issues it raised for MAN in terms of capacity. Now what's the title of this thread and forum?
To be fair, it has got diverted, or broadened rather by arguments as to whether or not passengers, in particular J class pax, are sufficiently bothered to prefer to fly via LHR with BA. However, perhaps this particular debate has run its course.
Well, an announcement about Hainan is certainly overdue if it's definitely happening. We also await confirmation of EZY's rumoured additional routes and there are expectations of further news from Ryanair. It could be a very good summer in 2015 but if so, let's hope MAN's infrastructure doesn't creak too loudly.
