I'd disagree slightly with your last comment Frank...the massive £800m Airport City about to start sprouting up, too many new routes to list and on the verge of announcing sizable terminal redevelopments...MAG are just as serious about MAN as they are STN, as they should be. MAG will pay off for STN in regards to LH eventually.
Fair enough
eggc, stand corrected about MAG and Ringway, but remain unconvinced about Stansted longhaul.
