EasyJet have an expanding base at Liverpool, only twenty-odd miles down the road, so there's no sensible reason for them to even contemplate services from Manchester.

Lots of traditional carriers such as BA and Monarch are offering low fares on a range of routes from MAN.
There is also the V bird flight in terms of true low cost airlines.

If You compAre low cost schedule out of all UK airports other than Stansted you will actually find that the largest base outside the LONDOn AREA is infact Manchester....
suprising but true !
There are also rumours that ANOTHER major low cost carrier is about to establish a base there !
...all we need now are some stands !!!

In terms of annual passenger throughput these are the top four UK airports in 2003.
Heathrow 63,495,223
Gatwick 30,005,264
Manchester 19,699,256
Stansted 18,722,112

There is a JFK service using a BA B767 but it is a BACitiExpress flight.
All other a/c that look like BA are in fact BACitiExpress, a different company with totally different staff, terms and conditions, AOC etc.
Sorry to be a pedant but I have my reasons.

Mr (or Ms) Punter buys their ticket from BA, checks in for flight "BA whatever" at a BA check-in desk, and waits to board an aircraft with "British Airways" written on the side. They are welcomed on board flight "BA whatever" by crew wearing a BA uniform.
The difference being......?

Ta!
For the replies
BMI Baby and MyTravelLite are low cost carriers I will not dipute that but they are subs of bigger Airlines that have been esablished at MAN for a long time. Ryanair do not have any internal UK flights from MAN and no real base there.
And yes I did no about the Deutchees arrival @ MAN but again they are a sub airline of a bigger pa. Why no German Wings?
So why no real Low Cost British Carriers based @ MAN is it finance is it slots is it politics?
And no more rumours of some would be low cost/charter/scheduled/super sonic/interstellar airlines.

Is it just me..........
Perhaps you'd be kind enough to share your definition of a "real Low Cost British Carrier" with us?
Or is there some agenda at work here, perchance?
