Yep, spoke to my man with the knowledge and he confirms TCMs posting. Apparantley they already have offices at the airport and have been recruiting cabin crew. Usual Med destinations plus a few more less frequently used places.

I notice that Qatar offer 2 morning and 2 evening departures to Doha per week. Lot of talk about this going daily, but was just upgraded to A330. Is this spilit schedule a wider picture thing or are they trying to establish which timing would be more profitable for a future daily operation?
On a similar line, has the Malaysian retiming been a success??
Thanks all.

Figures for both November and December show a 7pc increase.
Provisional figures for January show a 2pc drop in passengers on the Malaysian flights, however the events of Boxing Day in the area probably did not help.
In general it would appear to have been a good move.

British Jet
According to a well known Manchester spotters site, it is predicted that British jet will be using HELLO MD-80's on the start of their services, commencing 2nd May, if I'm reading it correctly?
I'm not sure if these are wet lease, dry lease, damp lease or soggy lease!!!
I wonder what the callsign will be? " Hello this is Hello errrrr? - ohell !!
Or it could be " Rover " ? Won't be around long then eh??

Re Virgin Routes Manchester...
Whilst it would be nice I doubt it
Why do you ask Veulo ?
They have just anounced that they will be the largest operator in T3 at LHR with capacity being raised from 3m to 5m, so I cannot see why MAN would be in the equation !
BUT I hope I am wrong.
They could always see sense and diversify like Emirates.

Virgin
Spoke with the route planners only last week. Whilst the airline is very happy with the B744 daily service to MCO,they have no intentions to operate any other routes. They did tell me however that last year they did look at LAX and India but in the end the powers that be decided against any MAN expansion whilst they could still expand ex LHR.

Heard a rumour that BWIA are to continue from MAN and not pull out as previously reported. Anyone care to confirm?
