MAN is emerging into a different kind of hub, one where non-based aircraft and carriers exchange passengers, rather than the traditional LHR/FRA/CDG-style big home-based flag carrier.
that is amazing that 96 were transferring (appreciate that some could change twice but for arguments sake let assume they are mutually exclusive). Could I just ask, who do TCX code share with at the JFK end to allow onwards there? Or are they doing DIY connections?
Like others, I do hope that Flybe can add more destinations from MAN using their ability to sell onwards to get pax.
