With all due respect, it would be nice if airlines were mentioned by name (not initials) on these forums. What are EK and FR ?
The following airlines have been mentioned on this thread with respect to Manchester services this year. Can anyone confirm these ? Dates, times, plane types etc ?
Atlas Blue
Meridiana
Sterling Blue
Air China Cargo
Alitalia

Not sure if I've missed this one, but where is the B767 coming from for the Globespan MAN-CPT operation?
Ref the Air Wales MAN-Rennes, got a mate who booked seats on this. He's had a phone call from them confirming the route will not be operating.

More Management Changes at MAN
More changes announced today.....
Several Senior Managers "leaving"
Have details, but dont want to post in public forum.
Major changes to responsibilities, some real surprises with people moving to MADL from MAG
In addition:
Ms RB is married to Director General of GMPTE!!!! Not very interesting pillow talk, but maybe a conflict of interests.
Some may say that J Sp was given Responsibility but no Authority - GM rules supreme and to the extreme.
If I was a shareholder i would be very concerned about how this airport is being run, especially as those in charge of Operations (with exception of Mike Faz) are new to this business.
Interesting reading here....

Interesting. I knew they have G-MOOO knocking about, but wasn't sure they had a license to charter it, as I know they manage it for A.N Other.
Good looking aircraft.

Globespan
What will the Globespan 767 be doing on the other 4 days, can we expect another 1 or possibly more long haul routes?
Cant be doing the GLA-Sanford route as this is daily throughout November and needs a seperate aircraft

Anyway, thanks for the information regarding Alitalia. What aircraft do they use ?
Norwegian Airlines to start MAN - Bergen twice weekly from 6th April.
I am sure that I also read somewhere that Wideroe were going to start flying to Manchester. Is this correct ?

I didnt mean any offence in using the character
beside your name ,I just put it there for fun!!
Alitalia have used a variety of aircraft on their
route from the start.From ERJ145/A319/MD82
they currently use ERJ170'S.
Wideroe did operate to Bergen a couple (?) of
years ago but came under pressure from big
brother (SAS) and stopped.The loads were
if I remember good but SAS didnt like loosing
the connecting traffic!
Norwegian operate B733 or B734 I think.

So more changes at MA then?
In 2001 Mr Muirhead CBE said that the restructure wouldn't affect anyone. How many people were eventually made redundant?
In 2006 Mr Muirhead CBE says it's just a shuffle and it won't affect anyone. Is there an echo in here?
I don't know who's gone, though I'll find out, and will try to post what I know to be true.
In my view those who go will be those people associated with the following deviations from the grand plan:
1 failure to meet a (ridiculous) MA business plan target. Mr Spooner has gone already, probably partly for this one. More will follow. I have my mental list of who I expect to go.
2 failure to ensure harmonious working relationships between MA/MAAS and MA/MADL. Mr Spooner has gone already, probably partly for this one as well. Again, more will follow.
3 failure to deliver the new building work on time or at the right price. I've got a list of names for this too. Is the rumour true that the AVP will be selling tickets this summer for a go on the boating lake on the new apron? Or for a go on the new skateboard park with hair-raising gradients, on stand 100?
4 duplication of similar roles, especially Finance. Three finance directors anyone? At least one of the two that isn't Richard Pike will go, probably both.
And Mrs RB is married to someone at the GMPTE? Conflict of interest? No way. I'd say it's keeping it in the (City Council) family. Despite the relaxation to allow proper shareholders in, Mcr City Council still runs the show because its tentacles run deep and wide. Selling off a profitable monument to free-market capitalism to pay for a socialist dream? Very likely, I'd say, for the bearded lefties at Mcr City Hall. If the Spanish can buy BAA plc, anything's possible.
Some examples of the City's tentacles. They:
own 55% of the shares;
own 55% of the main ground lease, and 100% of some of the subsequent additional leases;
are the local planning authority;
are the recipient of 100% of the airport's business rates.
So just suppose the business was sold off for a fat profit, then the ground rent was found to be mysteriously undervalued and suddenly doubled or trebled or went up ten-fold? Oops, MCC gets the capital value, but all the subsequent years' profits still go to MCC. Nice work if you can get it.
And innocent people vote these people into power!
Watch this space.

In the summer one (sometimes two!) of the Portuguese L1011's (CS-TEB and CS-TMP) operate for the charter airlines who are short of aircraft. Hopefully they'll do the same this year! Always a great treat when one of those turns up

You'd be hard pushed to persuade anyone but the the most prudent pennypusher to fly Biman from MAN to anywhere.
I saw one of their A310s lining up at LHR today and they do not inspire level of service or comfort to anyone looking from the outside in.
An A310 is a small a/c to travel such a long way.
