MANCHESTER - 8

[peba]

so when does the base open then?

[viscount702]

End of October. First flight from based A/C is I believe 30/10/2011

[MKY661]

either 30/31 October or 1 November

Jet2 will be taking Manchester / bergamo off sale soon in response to ryanair. Others under review

[MKY661]

I'd say Paris and Toulouse will stay but maybe not Barcelona as Jet2 have operated it in the past and called it off due to lack of demand. That was just when Monarch operated it. (I keep thinking that Ryanair are starting BCN but their not), but I think they will start it in the near future.

How everyone at Manchester hated Mol now they think the sun shines out of his backside you will all be sorry

[j636]

And MAN can't increase airport charges for the next 10 years with Ryanair.

@j636

True but MAN do have some ways to try and restrict Ryanair in terms of stand availability and other facilities at their disposal to apply limitations.

I would mark your words, but Im still waiting for your words to be marked on Easyjet pulling MAN and longhaul out of Liverpool.

[rapidman47]

I dont want to argue but what i said was easy was not happy with Manchester and at the time they were not. Long haul from LJLA will be anounced soon airline name begins with (A) if you dont believe me just wait the two points will happen

Islander 'criss-crossing' CTR

All, sorry to deviate from the LCC invasion discussion, but is anyone at liberty to say why, what appears to be a BN Islander is flying various tracks over Stockport at approx. 5000 - 6000 ft today, plus several other days this week for 4 - 5 hours plus?
Nosey, curious & bored!

it gone now

Back up where we belong

Those CAA provisional traffic stats show how MAN has firmly regained the No.3 spot in the UK, handling about 10% more movements and passengers than Stansted in June. The moving annual pax total is still just lagging behind, but not for long now.

[TSR2]

handling about 10% more movements and passengers than Stansted in June.

Your underselling MAN, actually its 19.96% more movements and 13.32% more passengers.

[MUFC_fan]

FR have a 10 year agreement with MAN. That means they have to meet certain targets and the same vice versa.

Contracts are legally binding - MOL may be good, but courts are better:

Judge lets fly at apologetic O'Leary over 'pathetic' lie - National News, Frontpage - Independent.ie

[MAN-OPS]

Apparently all the new Ryanair stands at MAN are going to be self maneuvering aircraft stands, saving MOL £ on push back equipment.

And what stands will those be ?
