It is also worth adding that the station @OSL is a through station, with regular links going northwards including to Lillehammer and then onwards towards Trondheim.

Greek ATC strikes
Due to fly out to Kos tomorrow (29th) for a week with friends on holiday.
I haven't read up on the details of the strikes but I've heard it could be on tomorrow too? Flying out on OAI233 (Tor Air).
Any news regarding tomorrow strikes? Tor Air website tells us to check-in as normal.

no news?
This thread appears to have died an unnatural death. There seems to have been no news posted for over a week and what was posted seems to have been irrelevant to Manchester news.
So what has happened to the rumours that abound on the Ryanair forum of 4 aircraft being based at Manchester and, so has been speculated elsewhere, 28 new routes? Are these not worthy of the Manchester forum; have we all gone on holiday or are we become a little tired of no news being posted by the oldies such as 'Shed', Ian Brooks and the likes.
Right that's my view and at least it will hopefully move this thread back to the top.

it seems alot of people on here are fed up with people having ago at each other, so they may have moved onto plane-mad.com, cos the storys on there are more up to date and also you get to know whats going on at Manchester Airport more than you do on here.

Ryanair
I agree with many who ask as to whether we really want them, but at the end of the day Manchester airport have little say in their operation.
As I understand the rules, the airport only has a say with regards to which terminal they can operate from. Route licenses are down to the relevant government; slots are the responsibility of Airport Coordination Ltd .
The airport has a published set of fees that are applicable to all airlines - new or old - that are available for all to view. Additionally incentives are offered to airlines starting new routes that have not previously been operated or that have been suspended by another airline.
So at the end of the day the airport authority will accept flights from any airline that wishes to start services - it does not however have to accept having terms dictated to it by an airline.

Extremely low Air Transat flew overhead a few mins ago (I assume en route to MAN) - TSC264 - any reason why it would be flying so low ( could clearly see it and horrendous noise ) in the pennines area. I know this is on a less often flight path but it is one and I've never seen a plane so low especially on such a clear day....?

Not that much irregularity with A333 C-GTSO / TSC264 today - started with a MERSI 1B arrival. MERSI was passed 1,100 feet above minimums at 7,100 feet. Above Bolton it was at 5,700 feet and the next plot halfway between Bury and Oldham it was on 4,350 feet. On the next plot the Air Transat A333 was around 400 feet below the 3,500 feet specified minimum between Hurst and Stalybridge 11 nautical mile out. The two last plots showed only minor deviations from glideslope (80 feet and 130 feet below). In other words not to low, just a bit low at parts and at least 1,800 feet clearance to ground around 11 nautical mile out.
Altitudes and coordinates for TSC264 was found on flightradar24.com using the playback mode and STAR/Instrument Approach Charts came from NATS AIS.
