None of the above, as Thompson Fly is now sort of a low cost airline and the already have the most routes out of manchester.
Although BE will be up there they are on completely different routes to the likes of FR, EZY, LS and ZB.

I was reaally meaning core LC airlines.
TOM are HUGE at MAN, but can't you include MON as ZB, if you are including the TOM brand as both scheduled and charter?
LS brag to be the LC airline of MAN, but as you say, if TOM are classed as a LC airline themselves, there are some pokies being told!
I know that BE operate different routes to EZY etc, but they are still a LC airline.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Also, on a completely different note, I have read on the MAN website that they want to have 42 million pax through per annum by 2015, which is fine. But they also want to be the 2nd biggest airport in the UK (after LHR) in the same year. This is due to the extra capacity on the 2nd runway.
They certainly aren't going the right way (now they are 4th from 3rd)! I suppose that when STN reaches 25 million, they cannot expand any further until that expansion plan fiasco is sorted.
Good to see MAN looking up!

DAL to increase capacity on the ATL route.
They will be increasing the aircraft type from 763 to 764 as part of a transition of 764s from domestic to international. They will be equiped with 42 business class seats! This will also include MXP, BCN, MAD, LGW and CDG aswell (from top of head) as the 764s start to cross the pond.
Once flew from ATL-MCO on a 764, exteremly nice aircraft, and reminded me of the T7!
Good news for MAN, lets hope the T7 is back on the cards soon!
Anybody know if the DAL T7 is still stopping on India-US route?
Cheers

The DL still drops in from time to time on the india - US route, normally falls in around 5am, DL have actually just reported a profit for the first time in 8 years, so mabye we might be getting that CVG route they keep talking about. What they do need is another ATL, always overbooked the DL65

Im still wonder why they dont use there 777's on this route, I went MAN-ATL then ATL-MCO a few years ago and the MAN-ATL was 767, then the ATL-MCO was a 777. 
Either way good news they will be using a bigger A/C.
Ive also heard that the FlyBe contract is up for grabs in MAN.....
Also are BE moving to T3 when BACON stop there flights?

I also did the MAN-ATL-MCO route in 2003.
We flew T7 on both routes routes. Why did they reduce the capacity in the first place? Anyway, if the demand is increasing, you never know!

DL dropped their T7 into MAN for 2 reasons, the first was reconfiguration on all the fleet, y/c and c/c, the second was money, after 7/11 they had a major change on a lot of routes and now getting it back in making a profit again. Still, better than there MD11 that never went anywhere!!
Flybe is up for grabs at MAN, if anyone knows or heres anything let me know! Swissport cant cope with that contract at such short notice at MAN, have too much on.

That dont make sense, then why not give the EY contract to SAS in MAN, they can do the same, think your right over BE cos s/p just cant handle it.
You had it confirmed, or just a rumour?
