from OltonPete. There was a net increase of around 20000 to the US from Manchester in May, which is obviously a positive but I don't believe that tells the whole story.
Looking at the CAA stats, JFK with an increase of 50% was about an extra 9,700 pax. However, I'm not sure how that matched with the increase in capacity.
Other increases were Orlando (net of a decrease on Sanford charters) of some 7,200 pax, while the new routes to LAX & BOS (the latter only started at the end of May) produced 4,500 pax. There were also increases on LAS & MIA.
It is therefore quite a complex and mixed picture. With SFO and BOS seasonal due to be added in s2017 by VS, and a final decision awaited on DL to DTW, it will indeed be interesting to see what the final schedules to the US look like for next year and how it all pans out.
