All names taken, if all UK airports had the same enlightened policy you seem to think MAN has......?
You also delight in responding to points that folk haven't made - notably Shed - but which perhaps you would have preferred them to express. All Shed and others, including myself, are asking is whether MAN couldn't be a little more flexible on occasions - a 'can do' but realistic approach, rather than giving the impression 'it might cause us or the agents a bit more work and a few problems so better not.
Incidentally, I'm puzzled by this extract on diversion policy posted by scottie dog. " Requests from Manchester Airport airline customers to accept inbound diversions and extra flights will be considered on a case-by-case
basis by the CMC, subject to the provision of a Ground Handling service."
This follows in the same para and immediately after the reference to a notam about no diversions being accepted. It almost reads as if it's a caveat to the 'no diversions'. Is it really implying that even if the notam has been issued, airlines can still request to divert (as well as in emergency)? Or, more likely, is it a general qualifier to occasions when diversions may be accepted and relates to the earlier para.
