Vueling and Norwegian is slightly disappointing, but look at it this way.

Norwegian Tatl probably isn't quite the right time for MAN. Let's face it, MAN's Tatl programme this summer is probably its biggest ever, so, we need to bed down what we have, with a fair whack of extra capacity coming online. That coupled with the fact the existence of Norwegian long haul seems quite toxic at the moment amongst the industry, as well as the fact they keep chopping and changing their minds, I'd rather we kept TCX and VS as the main carriers to be honest.

Yes, would have been nice to see the novel routes of Stewart and Providence on the departure boards, but having Los Angeles, Miami, San Fransisco and Houston (routes we wouldn't be seeing Norwegian do at MAN for a long time) is much better.

As for Vueling, well, the way their crew issues are causing problems, seems it's not MAN's fault we lost that base for this summer.
