Yes massively so. The only cuts so far with these guys were that NWA's new LHR-SEA was withdrawn after the traffic never materialised.

I actually think that BA MAN-JFK was a good route but BA being the massive internal contradiction that they are I can see why they axed it as it was a real oddball route at the end.

Had the pleasure of a Man - Dublin day trip today, on the return we had to do a go round from about about 1 mile out, as 23R was blocked by a Beech 200.

Took this photo and thought I would share it as it highlights the extensive apron work on stand 12 (A380 stand)

Thanks Ryanair for the £2 trip and scenic hold over Liverpool and long final approach over Derbyshire !! Bargain !

Pier B work on Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Cheers for that MAN777. Are they opening up the entrance to pier B or will you still get to it round that labyrinth? (I wonder)

On my latest trip to EMA ive noticed they have a smoking area airside, although caged in its a welcome relief.

Seen as MAG own EMA..or so i read and with all this development going on at manch, why havent they done the same?

I did send an email which was replied to saying they were 'looking into it but couldnt guarantee'

I believe the smoking area airside is going to happen at MAN but the powers that be are still discussing a suitable location.

Kenyan B737 again

Sorry for being an anorak, but it is a dull day that needs brightening up !

The latest Kenyan airways B737 was delivered through MAN this morning.


The delivery crew must have made some friends on the last visit !!! Apparently they were showered with MUFC gifts on the last visit.

What type of plane will I be on?

On 29th May, depart at 09:00 with First Choice to Sharm.

Any ideas what aircraft type I'm most likely to be flying on?

Thanks

Couldn't help but notice a Blackwater Aviation Casa 212 at MAN the other day. Seems that certain intelligence agencies seem to love MAN don't they?

Have a feeling the "special" Casas have used other UK airports in the past, so why MAN at this stage?

£1 rip off

Noticed that T1 has had vending machines installed now for security clear plastic bags. £1 a pop. I assume T2 & T3 have the same now?
Be warned, take your own bags or be ripped off !!

SQ are to reduce their fleet by 14% and many say that it will be the 777s.

Will this mean the end of SQ at MAN?

Not totally, yet, but they are reducing to 3 times a week from May so it ain't looking good.

Gutted for the fabulous MAN sales and airport staff.

Shame to hear about SQ if it is true but may pave the way for a 3rd EK flight, in fact I doubt it would make a difference anyway...

Does the 767 ever operate to SSH from MAN?

it is a shame, everyone works damn hard to get the flight out on time every day it really would be a shame to see these great people get the chop!

re SSH, the flight was operated by a 767 the other day actually, but is very rare.

If SQ think they can shuttle MAN Pax to London to fill the A380s they should look at what happened to QF and Malaysian passengers after they left.

MAN passengers voted with their feet and moved to Middle East carriers and Euro hubs, there is no reason why anything will be different this time. SQ you will loose !!

We DONT want to use LHR !!!

heard a RUMOUR today they are pulling out of MAN in november
Absolute bollox, they haven't decided anything that far ahead on any route yet. You've either made that up yourself, or whoever 'told' you did. I'll go with the former myself.

Are you sure you didn't see an email about a possible diversion again ?.
