I think the chances of LS returning to the MAN-AMS run (along with the other cities axed in its latest cull) are slim to none I'm afraid. I've a feeling the "next phase" growth for LS will very much concentrate on LBA and maybe other bases.
Can't help but feel its been a disappointing relationship for both MAPLC and LS as you would have thought they could have really made MAN their own when they burst on the scene here. Seems to have been some strange route decisions (did we need another carrier on Prague?!) and missed opportunities (no attempt at Madrid when that became vacant also could they have made a go of Bergen and Riga when they became vacant???)
If, and I know its only an if at the minute, U2 come to MAN I really wouldn't be surprised to see LS pack their bags from MAN completely.

ZB655 01/11 Late Go-Around
My best friend was on yesterday afternoons ZB arrival from AGP which initiated a very late GA on 23R, didn't get a reason from the crew.
He is curious to know why?
Thanks

"Late vacating a/c........Ops vehicle on runway...Config warning....Cabin not secure...."
Choose any one from the above......
watp,iktch
Well, that really clears things up, doesn't it, Chig.
The guy asked for a definite answer, not a hypothesis.

Why does he need to know? Looking to launch a lawsuit and sell his story to a rag along the lines of "we were seconds from disaster"?
Still no news on Air Asia X - they have yet to decide between STN and MAN, and Air Blue's board will hopefully rubber stamp going to daily operations (meant to be 6 weekly from December); they are also looking to add "London".

Miserable ppruners
...sometimes, you can't even ask a simple question on pprune, without being lambasted or ridiculed.
It wouldn't have been too difficult for the Monarch crew to say a few words, even if it was after landing.
Ive been SLF on a few go-arounds, the last one was in fact on a MON into BCN. On all occassions the flightdeck has managed to just give the pax a little info & everyone is happy.
Stop treating all pax like morons.
Thank you.

Thank you Mr A Tis & Stoney for your common sense.
Yes being an ex-flyer & my friend being ex-crew we know the many reasons for a GA's, we just wanted to know if anybody knew the reason for this one as in his many Man landings & several GA's he had never had one over Ringway road!!!!

VS to Shanghai
Interesting if it were to come off.... I think its safe to say that over the next few years we will see a passenger link to China.
However I would suggest that any service would initially come from a China based operator, with Air China being favourite, and probably to Beijing. I believe the approval has been or is currently being sought to operate this service in 2009.
Unless VS have quite a radical re-think about the pace and type of growth of their MAN operation, I'd be surprised to see them operate a pax route to China..... as always though I'd be more than happy to eat my hat if they did

There is a huge demand for China from the Northwest of England and now that the bilaterals specifically for Manchester ( Suzeman can you confirm that ) have been sorted and Air China has already been given the green light for Manchester from spring 2009 from Bejing by the Chinese authorities I would think it most likely that a British operated will respond on a Shanghai flight and of course we all know it won`t be L****n Airways

The two Blue's!
Just to confirm Blue1 are serving London Stansted with RJ's from Helisinki as stated by Ian Brooks in last post.
Looking at Air Blue's site (the Pakistani operator), they are to increase MAN to daily from mid-December..... couldn't see any mention of a new route to London unless I wasn't looking hard enough!
