I am a little more cautious about growth on the Atlantic. There are some fairly weak load factors on the N-registered flights out of MAN at the moment, it could be that the big step-up in routes and capacity by TCX is having an effect, and over-supply is creeping in. It may take time for the market to absorb this new capacity, and we're still up against the dumped back-end seats out of LHR. It's great what TCX as our only true home-based airline have done, but they don't fly any of the prime hub city routes between January and April. So if they push the US carriers into reverse that might not be the best thing all round for MAN.
