MANCHESTER

Worth bearing in mind also is the amount of interlining traffic from GB services on to other BA ervices at MAN. PFP - OSL, AGP - IOM, TFS - JFK, AGP - GLA/ABZ/BHD, MLA - JFK have all been trends noted, no doubt. A couple of times in the last month there have been significant transfer pax coming in on the BA JFK connecting on to a GB Malaga.

[HOVIS]

Youre right. GB arnot basing 3 planes at Man.

It's 4!

And it will be 6 by 2007.

[Vuelo]

6!! Are you sure about that?!

[MancRy]

I think i have heard the figure being four but after the second aircraft arrives on saturday, there wont be a third until 2007. All could change though.
Yes GB have been feeding BA's JFK thus i would imagine making it even more profitable. BA still blind to the fact that this could happen on other long haul routes should this wish to start any.

Hi

Does anyone know which BA flights are moving to T1 in November and why?

Thanks

[Railgun]

None it is just T3 been intergrated into T1 as the ownership agreement is up.

[phil_2405]

I believe T3 is too remain, it is not being intergrated into T1

[MancRy]

I hope T3 is to remain. So what if it is "attached" to terminal 1. It is infact, in my view, a terminal in it's own right. How confusing would an enlarged T1 be with another check in area and a separate immigration channel.

[Vuelo]

This T3 stuff is all nonsense! As if an international airport would lose a termial! Wake up!!

[pwalhx]

Terminal 1/3 as they are now at one time were called 1a and 1b but was changed as people found it confusing.

Then to change it back would seem stupid.

[MancRy]

They should keep it as T3 and like Vuelo says, why would MAN want to lose 3 terminal status. It sounds stupid, but 3 terminals sounds better than 2!!!

[Hood]

bmi are in the frame to move baby operations from terminal 1 to terminal 3 and currently looking at A330 long haul as well.

[Vuelo]

I really cant see BA putting up with sharing 'their' terminal with a major competitors budget arm!! Believe it when I see it...

It is no longer BA's terminal the lease is now up. Rumor has it that nouthing is signed with BMI or BMI baby yet and if anything happens then it will not be untill summer.

One problem for there long haul could be the fact T3 only has 2 stands that will fit A330's on all the others will only fit up to 767's on.

Obvious BA never wanted anything more than European services then

Re: T3 BA

I think you will find that the whole point of giving
T3 over to BA was for BA to expand their long-haul
ops from Manchester - which has not happened.
So now that BA mainline is contracting its european
network from Man in favour of european Sun destin
-ations and the 'deal' is up its fair game
for those that need the space to move into.
We might be moving to a situation where BA is no-
longer the 'Sacred Cow' at Manchester.

It is at LHR and will continue to be ie:T5

Last time i checked the only mainline route from Man was not european it was a domestic route? BACx are contracting everywhere except Bristol. They have now pulled the BHX-VIE and BHX-FCO routes.

[ManchesterMan]

Railgun

You see BAcx - I see BA.

[Vuelo]

BMI, AA and BA just wont all fit at T3....


BA JFK, AA BOS, AA ORD, BD ORD, BD BGI/LAS/UVF = needs more stands than there are at T3!

[Caslance]

There are many more than 5 stands on T3.......
