Try sitting on a BMED 320 from Heathrow to Almaty - then you will know what small is. OK the flight is via Ekaterinberg, but it's still like ~10 hours.

You'd be hard pushed to persuade anyone but the the most prudent pennypusher to fly Biman from MAN to anywhere.

Any more news on the mgmt changes? I've not heard anything from my contacts so I presume nothing is happening.
Maybe Mr Muirhead CBE has finally delivered a restructure quietly, calmly and efficiently, so he can retire a happy man. Maybe...

Not much more to say about the restructure
Clive Tilley - Marketing Dir gone
Alison Timulty - MADL Finance Dir gone
MA as was no longer exists, MA Ops and Services (MD Andrew Cornish) and MA Commercial (Rowena Burns). Both reporting to GM.
Planning & Environment (John Twigg) now part of MADL and Steve Warrener (ex MA Finance Director) now MADL Finance & Procurement. All major projects now reporting to J Tw where before they reported to JSp.
Mike Fazackerly moved up to cover all terminal ops, I believe Terminal GM positions are up for grabs.
Much more going on behind the scenes to sort out how it is going to work (or fail).
This is all common knowledge across MA following internal announcement last week.
GM retire - never!

I'm told Andrew Holl (recently appointed by JSp) will remain as Ops Director, taking charge of Airfield, the Fire Service, Engineering and Environment.
No indication of the structure below these levels as yet though.

The logistics of this flight going in to T1 will be tricky.
How many transfer passengers will there be passing through MAN, and how many seats will be available for point-to-point MAN - DACJFK passengers?
I am assuming the Southern front will come in to its own!!

Give them a break!, they have one aircraft at present based in Scotland and operated their 1st flight through Manchester on Friday.
Lets see what pans out over the next few weeks and then maybe comment
I hope they succeed as it`s a very competitive market and someone has put a lot of money in and peoples livelyhood are at stake

Has anyone heard about a possible new route from Manchester to Cairo with Egyptair? They stopped flying weekly to Luxor a few years ago as I remember, but heard today that a resumption may be on the cards. Anyone know anything?

Larger Aircraft Arrive For Manchester - Highland Route
A larger aircraft providing 1,200 extra seats a month on Eastern Airways’ Manchester - Inverness route will be available from 26 March to meet demand from customers.
The full service regional airline will increase capacity by 34% from Manchester Airport with the introduction of a larger 50 seat Saab 2000 aircraft, which will also reduce journey times between the destinations.
Many blue chip companies have bases in the North of Scotland and both regions are linked by the finance, IT and service sector industries. Eastern Airways has operated the route, which offers day return journeys, since November 2003.
“This important service to Inverness has proved very popular from Manchester and is by far the most convenient way to travel to the Scottish Highlands,” said Keith Watson, Eastern Airways’ head of sales & marketing. “This decision to introduce larger aircraft with 34% more capacity is not only to meet demand from the business community, but also demonstrates our commitment to growing leisure traffic between the two regions.
“The service will benefit those taking outdoor activity holidays, such as climbing and hill walking in the stunning mountainous region and will even appeal to tourists searching for castles and the Loch Ness monster!”
Manchester Airport’s aviation development director, Tim McDermott, said: “Manchester – Inverness has proved to be a good niche route for Eastern Airways, who’ve built up a loyal business following. By providing extra capacity using the Saab aircraft this will also help to attract more leisure travellers with Manchester being one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Europe, the Peak District, Pennines and North Wales on our doorstep, as well as Inverness being the gateway to the spectacular Highlands.”

Concorde 001, all correct except it will be a B777-300ER. Starts in October.
Anyone know when the evening Emirates becomes a 777? Will it be a -200 or a -300ER?
