the route of MAN-LAX could well be correct but the carrier choice isn't cbt_bear. Heed the words of the ever wise Lexxity, the rumoured operator of this service is a UK based carrier.

Those who know fly (insert three letter carrier name here)! This is a good game isn't it?

And this is from a very reliable source.

were have you heard of gb takin over the man-jfk flights using an a330!!

they dont own an a330 and do you think ba would let gb have a profitable route all for themselves

i think this is a stupid rumour!! gb only does shorthaul from man but they are expanding

luv if the rumour was true luv to do that route when i start!!

The most unusual rumours usually turn out to be the correct ones! So, GB take over the BA JFK...why not? You can easily lease an A330.

Well that would make sense....there is a rumour of an Air NZ service to AKL from MAN via LAX, but with Star Alliance codeshares, BD could do well on this route with all the UA/NZ traffic through LA.

Still leaves the riddle of whether we are to see long haul expansion at T3 though.....

Whatever happened to HKG?!

Also our friends Cathay are reportedly back on the scene . This time though it's daily but still via SVO !

1000th reply...yippee...Fame at last

Any idea of equip to be used by ANZ ?

An earlier post mentioned 763's...but is this possible !!!

surely a job for a heavier heavy ie B744 or 772ER ( due soon to ANZ )

This sounds like another EasyJet rumour to me!!

So if we ring a few cargo agens, will they confirm this new service....???
