MAN expansion
I read on our notice board that T1 is going to be ripped down in 2 years time.
Hopfully they can sort out a better layout!!!!!
But then a couple of days later I was told that any building work would be on expanding T3, "low cost being the way forward".
So does anybody know what is happening and what is the time frame??
bit miffed about the "low cost" statement but hey! what the heck,MAN goes to more places than most.

T1 is undergoing a 35 million retail redevelopment so no chance of it being ripped down. B pier is due to be rebuilt ion the near future.
T3 is apparently to get a big extension towards the airprot pub. Planning permission with Manchester council.

Now that MAN is operating 23/05 runways, can anyone tell me the process of how (and when) they went through the process of remarking them?
I know that the old 24R/06L was not being used on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning for some time - so maybe this was marked up before the switch over and perhaps the old 24L/06R during daytime single rwy ops on Wednesday???

for the last 3 nights they have been working on 24R-06L now 23R-05L . remarking and changing the boads and also whilst the runway was closed they killed two birds with one stone and did some resurfacing work. was fun the hear ATC and base pilots from midnight onwards stumbling over runways wanting to say 06 instead of 05 will take a bit of getting use to

It is then pointing nearer to the right Magnetic heading
e.g if the runway is 236 degrees then it will be called r/w 24
and if it was 234 degrees then it would be called r/w 23
and so on, the magnetic variation is always changing

That's interesting Gazin. The only thing that I had seen before was that they were looking at heading in a south-easterly direction for about 250 miles, and having a couple of feeders into MAN from UK points!!
Let's see what happens, after all it has been talked about previously and nothing has happened.
More interesting will be the results of the IATA Scheduling Confetrence that was held between 2nd-5th June, and with a slot return deadline of 31st August.

My son used to work for Fedex.
It has always been known that they were looking to establish a future hub at Manchester. So perhaps the time has come?
