MANtlantic prospects
So we lost Washington D.C but are gaining Washington State!
Great to see the good news stories on the Atlantic continuing despite the concerns over the impact of the £/$ and Trump. TCX seem to be steaming ahead, boosted by the code shares and transfer traffic which is quite a factor on some flights. No existing routes / frequencies dropped to make way for this new route?
Do we know anything about Virgin's plans for Summer 18 yet? Sharing the market with TCX on BOS and SFO still feels a little fragile. If only they could operate on different days that would be an improvement.
SQ's Houston is producing big pax numbers but not sure about revenues. Some really good transfer traffic connecting at MAN from/to wherever. One wonders though if they decide that SIN-IAH is not worthwhile use of a frame, how that might impact SIN-MAN?
AA B787 return on ORD is a welcome development and much needed to give that route some credibility.
Anyone worked out how many US destinations MAN will have and how that compares with LHR and other EU hubs?
