Posts on another site suggest an Easyjet announcement regarding a MAN base could be as soon as tomorrow..... only time will tell I guess!
Easyjet will probably be lauded in with the usual fanfare and news reports (if it happens) much the same as Jet2 was....... bet Easyjet don't screw up a good opportunity at MAN though like Jet2 have

It just wouldn't be the same without it!
I remember the LS launch as if it was yesterday. All these plans - shame it hasn't happened.
Is it still on their website that they made the biggest commitment to MAN with a certain number of aircraft? Was it eight? I'm sure ZB/MON, TCX, MYT, TOM, BE and FCA have more than that in the summer months! And with alot more seats!
Tomorrow - start of a working week, maybe possible although the EZY statement did say in the coming weeks so would be expected anytime before Xmas with maybe a New Year sale?

I think Jet2 made the biggest single commitment at Manchester in terms of routes offered at launch and that was 9. Previous to that, this record I believe was held by bmibaby who offered 6 routes when they first arrived at MAN. By the looks of things, if the rumours are true, EZY will smash that record!

Indeed, everyone seems to be expecting an announcement later today. Kevin Hatton an George Mitchell from GB have a pre planned visit to the GB base at MAN and Mr Mitchell was quoted by several GT crew members at the staff party on saturday that "we would have to wait until Monday". Slightly cryptic.

Nope no announcement and was told today the reasons why. Won't go into details as we have been asked not to. Hopefully however, soon rather than later, the announcement we hope for will be made.

Lets hope its small issues to iron out rather than the whole thing hitting the buffers. Everybody will have to sit tight again for the time being it seems

I'm assuming that it's something to do with waiting for the formal clearance for easyJet to buy GB Airways. The enhanced LGW schedules are waiting to be announced I believe.
