learjet,
Don't get carried away, I heard that they can't get extra slots at LHR, so they are bringing most passengers back via Manchester.
1 or 2 extra daily flights until 1st May
E.F.

MAN777, as great as it would be, they are using the A388 on all 3 LHR services, and using the B773 shifted off the SQ308 to operate the SQ8318
I for one am just greatful for the 3 daily service!

RE extra flights SIA
..."no slots at LHR, hence MAN"
That maybe true, but I bet for 40% of those pax MAN is a better option than LHR anyway !
I am pretty sure that is "still" the figure that the CAA quote as the pax that originate North of BHX that use LHR.
If that is still the case, it would make more sense for most repat flights to come to MAN as it is geographically at the centre of the UK and much more convenient in terms of onward travel re road/rail connections.
...using LGW as EK have done is really piling on the misery and adding insult to injury........it certainly adds nothing in terms of convenience, unless of course all those pax live in Sussex, Surrey etc...er no I dont think so !

PIA are also flying in extra flights to MAN from ISB. Some PAX who are supposed to be on LHE-LHR during the airspace closure have been given the stand by dates of 15/06/2010!!! or the only other option is to drive to ISB and then being dumped at MAN, not a very attractive option for someone who lives in Southeast... PIA dont know anything about the customer services anymore.

Perhaps EK is offloading at LGW as the nearest large airport to its origin, so it can turn round and get back to collect the next load of unlucky travellers.
Flying to MAN and back adds, what, 1 hour to each leg of the journey? They could be back over central Europe and on their way to lifting the next load by then.
Maybe it's just a way to shift quantity at the expense of quality.
At least they're trying.

Flight time would be at most 10 minutes longer and that is dependant on winds, routing etc.
Plus, arriving and departing at LGW will take far longer than MAN due to the amazingly congested skies over London.

Recently I heard that G-WWBM has now been returned at Manchester Airport? Is that true? As you all know G-WWBM (A332) was used by BMI and it was stored in Dresden for few months.

Seems that the new Escape Lounge at MAG forms part of a new store for travel extras - including private jet hire direct from the website.
Do people think this will work?
Manchester Airport offers private jet hire - Crain's Manchester Business
