Still, it's vital to keep that momentum going to justify a daily flight at some stage, which hopefully will be sooner rather than later.
Spanners, do you know if the plan is to switch to the A350 when it's available?
No.
The original plan several years ago was to reintroduce a MAN service when the 350 came online in 2016. Obviously this changed somewhat.
The question was asked recently, the answer was that the 350 will come to Europe, possibly new destinations possibly for a 2nd flight to an already established route, MAN if it continues as is will stick with the 777, if successful frequency may increase!
Of course if someone else were to fly to MAN from the region then CX would react to it.
