Sure that this routing is TG? CX have been looking at routing HKG/MAN thro' India since they were unable to route thro' Moscow.
TG already serve Delhi daily (as do other carriers from BKK), whilst AI have no competition from HKG to their service to Delhi.

Ils 24l
757Operator
Had an interesting chat with one of the planning guys whilst visiting the 'roadshow' in Hale Barnes this evening.
Apparantly there is some consideration being given to installing ILS on 24L. Now what category this would be at I do not know, but it was interesting that that particular little item was raised without any real prompting.
With regards to the night time closure next year, apparantly this is to enable preparatory work to be done on re-wiring the 24R lighting system. This is in preparation for the resurfacing to take place in 2008.

They said in 2005 that they were looking to serve MAN and BER in 2007 or 2008, so it's a shame if they've decided to concentrate on LHR instead for the forseeable future.

Read that, it is dated 2Q 2005, and says "Launch new destinations such as Moscow, Johannesburg, Berlin, Manchester & Christchurch. Which doesn't seem like a total commitment, shame really.

Passenger figures - Doha
On the basis of the CAA provisional statistics for September I would say that the Qatar service is doing fairly well.
The figures show 12984 passengers as having been carried during the month. Since there is a daily service it only takes basis maths (thank goodness) to calculate that the average load is therefore 216 passengers. I do not know the seating configuration for QR, but I think that the load-factor will be quite reasonable - as to the profitability of the route, well that is a different question.
Hope that helps to finally put the question to bed.

October figures will be poor for all three Gulf carriers at MAN because of Ramadan. Some days, Etihad was struggling to carry over 100 passengers.
By the way, are these CAA stats on their website?

Qatar
Viewing the figures for the Doha route I was wondering
if the carriers service from Gatwick is daily?
If it is then the Gatwick service isnt doing as well as the
Manchester - according to provisional figures etc.....for
september.
