What's been said before is that we need more flights at quieter times with non-based a/c. Ryanair do their bit in that regard, much less so easyJet.
Vueling and IBS are welcome and help from that standpoint - if and until Vueling open a base here.
It seems a pity therefore that Wizz and Blue Air will be flying from LPL and now BHX next year. Blue Air will be serving Bucharest from both airports and Wizz from BHX as well. The route, and the airlines, would have been useful to MAN as flights would start from the European base.
That said, extra based a/c from the likes of easyJet and Jet2 are welcome providing MAN can accommodate and handle them without causing more frustration and delays for airlines and passengers.
