In the absence of a big announcement lets create our own:
Read the article Airline Backed By European Leaders | FHR Travel News | BOOKFHR.com and note the text that refers to "Alitalia currently flies directly into a number of UK destinations, including its regional hub at Manchester Airport."
Yep, you heard it here first. Alitalia's regional hub at.......... Manchester.

AZ have had 4 goes at operating into MAN, so book your appoint at your local optician. The last effort was only ended a couple of years ago using Wombles; the longest period of operation would have been the 3rd period which was around 1988 to 1992.

Evening All,
I don't know if I should be posting this question here, but I am trying to track a flight that is due to land at MAN at 03.10 tomorrow morning it's TCX520L from Larnaca. It is not on the Larnaca airport website.
I would like to know if it will be landing on time, what aircraft it is and is it possible to find out which stand it will be going on when it arrives at MAN?
Thanks,
Mat.

...or he just wanted to be able to identify which TCX flight was his? There are often a few returning at that sort of time. A bit paranoid, even in these difficult times?

I was picking up some relatives who had been on holiday in Cyprus and was intrested to know which stand the aircraft parked at.
Can we not ask innocent questions like that anymore on this type of forum?

Yes, but Why the Stand Number? It's not as if you can go and pick up the pax...is it?
Terminal, yes. [But ALL TCX flts (unless sub chartered) operate from T1]... Journo alert..."BITV cracks pax scandal at MAN.......again"

Gosh, what a lot of very uninteresting twaddle. Tell me is it the same person with different p-prune identities prolonging this drivel? Surely it can't be more than one numpty?
The Manchester thread has descended into a trashy tit-for-tat bashing excercise. If you ain't got anything to report that is factual AND relevant to the thread, then go and post your comments to VIZ or Woman's Own, but leave us alone!
Now for a posting that used to form the style of most of the threads on this site. I do however preface it with the statement that " This may turn out to be true, or may fall by the way side like so many others recently."
Air Sylhet - Scheduled services are expected to start during this winter. I'm not sure as to what the destination will be or if it'll be "via" anywhere, but they have booked in two promotional flights. SHR2001/2 on the 23rd Nov. at 1000/1100z and 27th Nov. at 0900/1000z operating from Vienna with an A.320. Only time will tell if these turn up.
PIA are introducing the A.310 on some of the flights that terminate at Manchester in place of the B772, due to a reduction in Pax numbers and requiring to place the Triples on other routes, not ex Man.
There - hope this gets us all back-on track

Re Air Sylhet.
Has anyone seen any reference to actual fleet? Are they going to wet/dry lease aircraft if all looks ok with days to launch?
I reckon it's a student's A level media studies project - I'd fail him/her for music on website download. I hate that!!

Interesting comment by Air Asia X CEO:
"We prefer STN over Manchester airport because of the connectivity"
I'm not exactly sure whether I agree. It maybe factual to state that Stansted has more links but a fair number are to obscure places or loosely associated named airports in Europe i.e. I wish to fly to Frankfurt from STN. I type in 'Frankfurt' into the BAA Desti map and it offers FRA as a result but then displays Ryanair's Hahn service.
Manchester's network is surely more appropriate for European "connectivity".

AirAsiaX is an LCC - STN has more LCC connection flights than MAN.
Someone travelling on AirAsiaX to MAN would not be pleased to pay the same price for a short flight to Europe/GB. They would probablyjust pay similar total price and fly with a flagship/premier carrier.
STN attracts LCCs, MAN less so.
