I'd love to see ANA at MAN but the problem, as always, is one-way traffic. It will rely on Brits going East. Japs won't use it 'cos MAN is too far from Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, Harrods, Henley Regatta etc. It is nearer to Edinburgh Castle and Gleneagles but the Shuttle takes care of that.

You should have seen Chester and the Lake District last year.
They were heaving with Japanese tourists although with the recession in Japan biting I think Japanese tourist numbers will drop nationwide.
What Manchester really needs is direct China passenger flights, no one can dispute the huge amount of Chinese that live in MANs catchment area.

EK/QR/BA etc. are cleaning up on UK-China/HKG
I do it 4 times a year, always with QR and EK, so many people on the SHA/HKG flights from the UK its unreal.
As for BA ex LHR...would rather walk...QR and EK's business class is far superior...have been considering VS but if it aint broke....Trouble is that i cant see Virgin starting and BA is as likely as platting fog....so from Shanghai that leaves just China Eastern who fly Pudong westbound with widebodies, Chian Airlines only really does Beijing and China Southern to Guangzhou...just cant see who would start it ??

You are VERY, VERY lucky that Adam Crozier has gone to ITV and is no longer looking for a position, after his last two disasters.
However, would Andy Harrison, soon to leave Easyjet, feature somewhere with the bookies?

They will probably replace him with Director of Works (Rochdale) but you never know....
They could go for somebody really innovative who has worked in airport management who has a good record of accomplishment...... (but I doubt it).
