Mickyman - stater of the bleedin' obvious!
MM, I understand your statement "....routes that were once served stopped
for good reasons", may be true, but it does not follow that these cannot be re-visited at a later date surely?
You'll be telling me next that my expectations that CP Air, British Eagle, Invicta, Silver City, Dan-Air, Transglobe, All-Air, Transportflug, Lloyd International etc may one day return as being too optomistic!!?? - surely not?

In fact, to present them to Immigration would be an offence.
I've often witnessed passengers from flights within the UK-Ireland Common Travel Area being subjected to passport control for practical reasons. I've been checked arriving in Dublin from Cork many a time...

Possible industrial action by ground handling at Manchester next bank holiday, according to NW Tonight. Unusual that, negative news regarding Manchester that was actually broadcast.

BMI reports that MAN-LHR will continue to be operated on a basic 7x Daily frequency for the Winter period. Some flights will be retimed to provide enhanced connections to BMI's onward services, with Tel Aviv and Beirut attracting particular mention. A mid-morning departure is introduced at 1050.
As this news item cannot be construed to have any possible negative connotations for either Ryanair or Liverpool Airport, lets see if I can escape a sniping sarcastic comment from my stalker Mickyman on this occasion. I think we've all cottoned on that you post with an agenda, sir!

Anyone care to let us know which company this is and which airlines would be affected ?
Well at least that's one of the media's travel preoccupations at bank holiday time ticked off - the others will of course be the rush for people to get away and the weather..

Crain's Article
Baggage handlers, terminal cleaners and ground staff responsible for refueling aircraft at Manchester Airport are being balloted about potential strike action in a dispute over pay.
If the vote is approved, the workers’ union, Unite, said that strike action could take place during the peak August bank holiday weekend.
The 300 workers being balloted based at Manchester Airport are employed by Swissport, Rentokil/Initial and ASIG. The union says that disputes are over plans to impose a pay freeze and to renege on a pay deal agreed in 2008.
"We are not oblivious to the economic climate, and understand the impact any industrial action would have on travellers during the busy summer period, but these employers are asking already low-waged workers to bear the full brunt of companies' attempts to adjust costs,” said Unite regional officer Lawrence Chapple-Gill.
“Unite is prepared to work with the employers to find short-term solutions in the current economic climate. To avoid any potential industrial action, we urge the companies to start negotiating seriously and reward our members for their continued commitment.”
The union will announce the ballot results in the week 17th August 2009.

I need to get my laughing policeman tape out again.....!
There is no comparison with Manchester !
If you cannot live in London then like it or not, the next best place by a countrymile is Manchester !
It has everything and in some respects is a microcosm of how vibrant London is !
Liverpool is way behind and is just another very mediocre nondescript regional city like Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol. Newcastle etc.
PS It is now officially the second city as well although the media are still waiting to catch up on that one.

I don't think we should go onto a Manchester v Liverpool thread but I personally think the best city outside of London is Edinburgh!
Anyway - when comparing demand, MAN is much higher than LPL and that is how it is at the moment and I don't think we should go any further down this path!

Thinking out of the box....
Must think of Manchester Airport related issue quickly
Now that RYR have announced LBA, is it fair to assume with LPL and LBA as bases, MAN will probably only appear on their route network as a non-base destination (Thankyou, there IS a God, if so true) ?
Does this give EZY an opportunity for more concerted expansion at MAN, and sooner?
I always thought traffic levels would be insufficient to sustain RYR and EZY together at MAN, let alone the incumbent carriers also.
Is RYR's announcement of an LBA base to the benefit of MAN, long term, in possibly giving EZY a clear run at ultimately becomming the no. 1 lo-co carrier at MAN?
