Friends were on the aircraft and it's said Final Boarding for ages. They've been given hotel accommodation for the night now. Definitely cancelled according to them.

Emirates A380 has been on stand all day with fuel leak. Flight cancelled. I know of no technical problem with 777. Maybe a tactical plan to shift pax first thing tomorrow morning. Also re-positioning of crew a possibility.

According to posters on the Newquay thread, the BBC in the SW has reported that FLYBE will launch MAN-NQY 4 x weekly from October. The route has been vacated by the shutdown of Air Southwest, and the total withdrawal of the MAN operation by BMI Baby. Whilst FlyBe's announcement is excellent news for MAN, I do hope that their decision to opt for a winter launch will not discourage the airline from persevering into Summer 2012 when profits should be easier to achieve.

The cat is finally on its way out.
Never been a fan of having a cat box on the steps of Ollie House - doesn't look very professional to me.
Also have a laugh at of some of the comments on the MEN article .......

The airport bosses have been determined to get rid of the cat for some time and have seriously thought about how they can do it. ( Remember Geoff Muirhead who stated that it was the cat that was stopping the airport selling office space !! 
) now they have decided to come up with the frivolous excuse of refurbishing Olympic house lobby - I'm sure the cat wouldn't mind too much.
Perhaps the airport should spend more resources into fixing leaking roofs or perhaps the automatic doors at the end of T3 that have not been fixed for 4 year now than conducting a crusade against a cat who is popular to staff and passengers alike !!

The96er, I agree. Ollie, whilst unconventional for an airport somewhat, is actually well liked by staff and pax. Pax being the ones who pay a blind bit of notice of other things at the airport that so often gives some of us wet dreams.
