As a Cargo agent I have heard nothing and would be very surprised anyway in the current climate if an airline expected to sell space on a flight that doesnt start till next spring, Cargo is an immediate business so few would plan that far in advance.

Now, I wonder which route the B757 will kill off next..... 
By this time next year at the very latest, all 3 A330s will be based at LHR and it'll be bye-bye long-haul from MAN as far as bmi are concerned.
C'est la vie.....

Please don't hold your breath waiting, aeulad.
Not while bmi still run the MAN-LHR "shuttle".......now that's an idea of what to do with the B757 once they've killed the MAN long-haul routes with it.

Look, let's be pragmatic. BMI have messed us around before, suspending IAD for the winter in 2003/2004, but this time I imagine it has gone for good. We have to accept it and look at other avenues.
The irony is that we have good loyalty at MAN from American caariers, AA, US, DL, CO...so maybe we will see UA join in, too?

Keep smiling folks. It only says that the MANIAD route has been "suspended." Whilst in the short-term that does indeed mean there will be no bmi presence on this route, it doesn't mean that bmi will not return to it some time in the future, or that United might not pick it up. It's common knowledge that UA is only really making money on longhaul, and are transferring a lot of their widebody capacity to opening up new longhaul markets. It wouldn't surprise me to see UA managers sniffing around MAN & other UK airports over the next couple of months if rumours are to be believed ... Not that I believe that bmi's behaviour in MAN is right. They could really do with a fresh sheet & work out what's right & what isn't.

the benefit or maybe Singapore A/L's from what i'm
reading....
