Delta JFK

Just gone on the laptop and direct flights came up starightaway
about five minutes ago - entered exactly the same data but
slightly different dates but all June and July.

All very odd.

"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?"

Could be............

Lufthansa twice weekly MD11F eff.29Oct, Thursdays JFK-MAN-FRA 1920/2050z and Sunday DFW-MAN-JFK 1955/2125z.

Or

Nayzak Air Transport – M4590/1 new three per week Benghazi, Libya (BEN) service eff.09Nov Mon, Wed and Fri lunchtime with B737-400

Or even

Danube Wings (VIPwings) – Slovak operator with prefix V5 will operate twice weekly BTS and TAT (Tatry-Poprad, Slovakia) eff 01Dec with B737-400

And Pia going back to the A310

Is it true that Etihad will be popping in with their A346 more often than not this winter on scheduled services as said on another forum?

Something to do with Man City owners...

This?


United Emirates National Team v MCFC

Departing Manchester on 10th November 2009, returning on the 14th November 2009


Offering Business and Economy packages.


Not seen anything definite about A346. Rumours that the above will be A346 and/or EY15/16 becomes A346 every flight and/or F1 A346 into Air Livery for repaint.

That will be fun for the cleaning staff. Allegedly nearly as grim a job as dealing with PK. Can't say the average Brit holidaymaker is that much tidier though!

could this be the 'something significant around 26th of this month'?

will be good to see them back again. Also 4 weekly is correct, but it will be 2 flights towards JFK and 2 flights towards DAC.

Now manchester has 5 operators comming from JFK, being Delta, American, Pakistan airlines, Biman and Lufthansa cargo

It wasn't what I had in mind but it's good news if true. Who has the handling/maintenance contracts?

What kind of final did the Vulcan do on Sunday as I was looking out for it with my kids and didn't see it. I live about 6 or 7 miles out on the 23R approach
This should give you an idea.




Sorry about the camera shake at the start and finish I was using full zoom at the time. It's a bit better in the middle.

MAN carried over 43000 on EK so far this year, nearly 10000 more than BHX and only 5000 less than LGW's 3 daily service.

surely its now time to get an A380 or at least a 3rd daily going?

Doubt if you will see any EK A380s soon on a regular basis as their 2 class A380s are on "ice" according to last week's Flight International. Although they are considering taking them off "ice", the deliveries in the near future will be 3 class and I don't think anywhere in the UK outside London will see a 3 class service.

Airliner world:

"In addition to London Heathrow, Royal Brunei Airlines would like to fly up to four times per week to Manchester...However, the proposed increase in services in this level would have a knock on effect on the number of hotel rooms available in the Sultante, so it is doubtful that there would be any increases in the frequency to the UK, at least in the near future."

Anyone fancy opening a hotel in Bruneu?!
