with regard to the queues at T1 on the 10th March, this was due to a emergency evacuation of the terminal airside, i am not saying MAN airport is perfect, but if anyone knows the answer of how to evacuate a terminal in under 5 min and then not have queues after i reakon every airport in great britain would like the answer to it!!!

Rumour has it that bmi have got slots for MAN/SOU effective from the end of the month, but nothing announced. Plans apparantly are for 4 x daily. Is this just another bmi pipe-dream?
Apparantly most of the ex- Bacon slots have already been re-allocated so it will be intersting t osee who has taken them - and for which routes.
There must be other routes ex-Bacon slots that are of interest to airlines. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Gaz do you know when these routes will be starting? I agree they are odd times, although the two in the middle will be excellent for picking up cruise traffic.

Yup 4x daily slots. Some strange flight times though:
Arrive MAN at 0555, depart 0630.
Arrive MAN at 0840, depart 1055.
Arrive MAN at 1310, depart 1340.
Arrive MAN at 1555, depart 1610.

With all the aviation news focused on Open skies it has been very biased towards LHR (for obvious reasons). I would like to know what peoples thoughts are on the implications for Manchester and other regionals. BMi to ORD and the caribean is obviously at risk (although BMi are insisting the ORD service will continue).
thoughts please

Can't see it making much of a change. BD get a good load on the ORD flight, loads from LHR are by no means guaranteed so would they be mad enough to damage their business by pulling it?
Although with BD you can never tell...
As for Vegas and the fleshpots, Virgin Holidays take a lot of the seats for their Manchester clients. VS might consider it worth their while to ship a crate north and take those routes over if BD want to withdraw. Holiday departures are much more sensitive to origin than business travellers after all, passengers off on their fortnight in the sun don't want to be transiting at Gatwick or Heathrow if they live in Bramhall.
It depends on whether BD can arrange extra lift in the short term, and whether they want to retain their MAN operation as a second string.

Vegas was always going anyway, it's a high load factor but low yield because the vast majority of pax are on itx tickets. ORD is hopefully staying.

New Freight Flights @ MAN
Flight Check says on page1 that Great Wall are starting 3 per wk from the 14Apr07.In the timetable it shows 4 per wk,Sat/Mon 1110/1340, Wed/Thur 1740/2025.
Ringway Reports says Jett8 are starting 2 per wk from the 26Apr07.
So are both starting?? and is there any connection as both are owned by different Singapore companies...........

Greatwall will be starting but not when you say. A little later.
It is not true.
Does anyone know if it is true that Air New Zealand are about to announce a MAN - Hong Kong - Auckland service, three times a week starting in October?
That'll be why then. They've seen how awful it is!
