Surely this should have all been done during the 'summer', so the new 23R ILS was available when it is required,
i.e. NOW!!

Heard a buzz the other day about something significant going on at the end of the month. (26th?). I have my own private opinion as what it may be but I'll keep schtum for now.

Anyone else heard anything?

Not so long ago i was reading that they were looking to introduce more airlines and routes from the Far East. Anything on the horizon yet?

A330ETOPS Might be worth asking that question again about 6 months
when we know that we are coming out of the recession. I hope that there are some new routes in the pipeline

Bit more interesting to look at the breakdown rather than the overall picture.

9.43% fewer scheduled international movements but only a 5.29% fall in scheduled international pax numbers

23% fewer domestic movments yet only a 8.8% fall in pax numbers.

Charter pax and movement falls virtually match each other with 13% falls

In term of purely MAN originating pax, it's down 8.8%

Can we gain encouragement that it seems scheduled routes are having better loads (and hopefully with less capacity to fill, better yield)?

You will get a better idea of that with the next set of figures which will exclude the discontinued Ryanair flights - these would have had high load factors (but very low yield)

I dont have a prob with Manchester airport, I use it myself some times. Its some of the posters on here who think out side London only Ringway exists.
About Eazy I know they are not happy with their operation at Manc they want lower landing fees for one thats why there has been very little expansion

Very little expansion? I reckon they are about on par for what they stated they were going to be doing. What did you expect of them?

If U2 weren't happy with the charges - would they have not done what they have done at Luton and Stansted? Everyone wants cheaper charges - look at Ryanair - it's their policy to get their costs to zero. Business is business and I doubt U2 are unhappy, as ringwayman says, they are pretty much in line with original commitments when considering the recession etc.

I am sorry rapidman but your posts betray a different point of view IMHO. Once again you post a provacative comment that appears at odds with the general consensus, perhaps you could enlighten to us with this inside knowledge.

Also when can we expect the exciting new announcements you keep promising for John Lennon.

Any truth in the rumour that Delta have done a u-turn on their decision to pull the JFK route?

Delta Man-JFK

It's not a direct flight as far as I can see, it goes via Amsterdam on a code-share in June. Only know because I fancied the trip but not with a stop.

Delta JFK

Same answer for me on several dates in June and July all via Amsterdam.

Not a good sign as it was definitely bookable direct a few weeks ago for
the period June 10 - August 10.
