They are EZY flights regardless of whether they are GT destinations.
MAD etc (i.e foreign based aircraft) flights are not on the radar for the time being. However, there is slack in the '2 aircraft' schedule this summer and AGP is a possibility.

Is this not just a sign of how saturated the UK LCC market is,,RYR flying to MAN where they presumably will not be getting a huge discount from the airport. EZY moving into markets mostly well covered by existing LCC .
I would imagine that whatever yields exist at MAN are only going one way ..DOWN and existing carriers will end up cutting capacity.
guess that is the way of the world (in the uk anyway)

The most efficient airlines will survive as has always happened also
Manchester cannot afford to lose passengers to it`s competitors
therefore a deal will have been done with Ryanair and Easy which will benefit
both the airlines and the airport
Manchester is not in the same position that they can give unbelievable deals to one airline but not another as maybe Liverpool and Doncaster

ZB
In an interesting move ZB have just announce 5 flights per week to LCA.
As for EZY I find the current siuation very odd. They announce the intention to operate flights but have not said to where and when.
The press release was full of ifs and buts nothing concrete. Further I don't understand what the reference to Regulatory approval refers as this was not a qualification for LGW. Could this be that there are still issues with MAPlc. Even if the GT takeover didn't happen they could still start flights to MAN from wherever using the foreign based A/C without setting up a base and they could as far as I am aware do this next week if they wanted provided they had the slots which are told they have.
So why are they not saying where they will be flying and when.

GB/Easy is not a done deal until all Is are dotted and all signed so therefore they cannot make final details ( which I presume include the schedules ) public as there are the legal formalities as could be seen with FlyBe/Bacon
Once everything is sorted I`m sure a public announcement will follow with details of routes and prices etc

I agree but there is nothing to stop EZY starting routes which are not connected to GT.
On another point I noticed on OAG that DL are not using a 764 to ATL next summer. This seems to fit in with comments on another thread. I thought they wanted to increase capacity on this route and they were doing this but now it would appear we are back to a 76? despite codeshare with AF

Just wishing they would bring the T7 back on the route! Travelled MAN-ATL-MCO with the airline during March 2003 and used T7 on all 4 legs - superb a/c!
Flying with EK to Far-East next summer so will be able to sample the T7 again - this time even bigger!
Does seem very weird that the airline won't be using the 764. They have always had extremely high loads! Maybe going double daily! Put that in the rumour mill!

I agree BYALPHAINDIA, the Zoom offering for next summer from MAN is disappointing to say the least.....with no AC on the scene this time round you would have thought they would be right in there...... seems very odd indeed. Are they short of aircraft or more interested in other markets?

Easy
I was under the impression that Easyjet could not sell any ex-GT routes until its all a done deal....does this mean the deal will be done and dusted before 1st Jan?
I must admit I thought with the GT deal not rumoured to be signed, sealed and delivered until mid Jan at the earliest, that what is being advertised on the Manchester Airport website could have been a first sprinkling of non-GT routes for MAN?
