In an article in the MEN today about the cancellation of some flights to Scotland I found the following quote from an airport spokesman
Spokesman John Greenway said: "We are not worried at the moment. Customers should check with their airline for the latest information but we are going to be doing our best to stay open. But the rules have changed this year so I don't think we are going to have to close. What might happen is airlines decide not to fly. We anticipate staying open."
"we are going to be doing our best to stay open" is an interesting phrase. Has MAN got some secret weapons that can try to deflect the ash cloud if it ventures near? I think we should be told
Of course the airport will remain open. Under the new rules, it's up to airlines to decide whether they fly or not depending on the ash concentration and their approved safety case.
Not very well explained in my opinion!

Also read somewhere that SAS were to begin code sharing with SQ.
So could it be feasible that MANs SQ PAX start their journey on a 737 via scandinavia ???

What about SIN-CPH-MAN?
CPH (SAS) as a Star alliance hub with just 3 flights per week (by SQ, no SAS) to SIN could be upgraded to daily flights and the route would fit much better (6814 mi via CPH) than SIN-MUC-MAN (6956 mi).

"I have heard that we will not be without a service
The cargo alone is worth a lot of money
Re SAA, CX and QF
SAA pulled because they short of aircraft to start the New York service after
aparthied
QF and CX something to do with BA"

ACE-MAN with Monarch
Can someone please advise me why the outbound from MAN (ZB546) has been showing delays every Thursday of between 4 and 5 hours over the last two or three weeks!? Our flight itinerary (from Monarch) for Thursday 2nd June shows ZB547 departing ACE at 17.00 with an arrival time in MAN of 21.00 but this flight has not been arriving in MAN until 01.00 or 02.00 on Fridays!
I have just checked their website for any changes to ZB547 schedule but it has not altered!

Rerouting to various ports due reduced cargo ex HKG something to do with nothing coming out of Japan! plus it's normally a quiet time this time of year. Also the delay in the 748 delivery and redeployment of a/c to AHK and the new joint venture has reduced capacity.
Thanks purple...........
Two of us i/ded it as Tristar and commented it was unusual/unlikely. The other guy was ex cabin crew and has seen a few a/c in his time!! Possible it could have been an MD 11 and time was right. We were over towards Wigan. Not many civil TriStars around, thought about it afterwards and wondered if it could have been a RAF one, only likely candidate really.

Tap/qatar
Surprised that the only posts today surround a Tristar despite a pretty
decent day for Manchester Airport with TAP restarting and Qatar going
double daily from today.
TAP was a 319 and I notice that both Qatar's were A333's!!!!!!
Loads East even with the school holidays can be dire in May/June
but two A333's - wow.
You would have thought A332's at least to start with, did anyone
get the loads?
What is the word with Delta to New York? I know it is bookable on
their website from the end of March 2012 but it is rumoured some
routes won't be coming back.

Any news on how 23R/05L works are going? When is resurfacing starting? Also is taxiway Alpha getting a good seeing too as well?! Needs it in places, I was thinking more so passing the AVP and before that down by the high speed taxiway exiting 23R (think it's AF and beyond)?!
