rumours elsewhere that Air India are about to drop BHX and open at MAN. We've heard about them looking at MAN before but this is the first I've heard of it being a replacement to BHX.
Air India are in Star Alliance so could be looking for connections on United, TAP and SAS via MAN? Other connections are feasible but backwards such as on Lufthansa. I wonder if Flybe are also offering connections via their MAN hub?
