Re vueling:
MAN would be the base/hub, especially if routes like Timisoara come off, as its currently unserved by Vueling. This is just one airport to come forward as talking to Vueling re: flights to Manchester. Who knows who else they spoke to.
Random fact of the day. Vueling was formed in 1995, and was origianlly concieved that its first route would be Valencia-Manchester. We all know that plan eventually changed....
In terms of other confirmed news, another Turkish operator to add to the roster, Tailwind to Ercan.
TWI197 ECN 0700 MAN 1135
TWI198 MAN 1235 ECN 2050
Wed, B737-800
So, plenty of TC-registered planes this summer, with Pegasus, Turkish, Corendon, Onur Air, Tailwind and Freebird all confirmed.
