According to the NOTAM the trial continues to 20 August.
The original trial was supposed to have finished a long time ago but it seems to have been extended on at least one if not more than one occasion.
It would be nice to know the outcome at some stage though

Thanks V702. Using a mobile phone at the moment so my search and posting facility is rather limited.
Hopefully our 'old friend' Roverman will come up with the full answer.

I've heard that Boeing will be sending a 787 to Manchester on September 3rd to show off to Thomson/Monarch/Virgin - It then heading off to an appointment with BA at LHR on the 4th, anyone else heard anything?

MAN to BOS
A few years back (i could be looking through rose tinted specs and it could be longer than that) there was a direct flight from Manchester to Boston, i believe operated by AA. I think it was seasonal but does anyone know why it stopped?
I am presuming either lack of passangers to make it pay or some hook updeal with BA to get them all out of London.
Thanks.

Very good compared to the last couple of years.
Also now almost at 2003 levels, I believe other
months have been nearer 2001.
Definitely moving in the right direction though.
No Emirates A380 today but a low density 77W
instead and tonight's 77W has been replaced by
an A332.
Is this going to be regular or just for the period of
Ramadan?
BHX is seeing a lot of low density 77W's on both
flights as well.
Rumour on another forum of Air Nostrum Madrid -
surely not now with FR plying the route and U2
to come soon.

New Control Tower
Manchester Airport have put up some images on facebook of what the new control tower is going to look like. It looks a bit better from what was originally released. Thoughts?

LED runway lighting
The trial of LED lighting continues on 23L/05R. Favourable comments received from flying community. Meanwhile the technical evaluation takes place ready for submission to the CAA for full approval. Hopefully,this will be acheived this Autumn. The intention is to install LED centreline and TDZ on 23R/05L for use in all conditions including CAT III. This may require further approval.

Apparently the Emirates low density B773's and A330 on the evening flight are due to low load factors during Ramadan. Remember the A380 flight didn't start until September 1st last year.

Apart from ramadan, this is also due to competion & excess overcapacity from all the 3 Middle Eastern carriers, over the coming months this will also start showing it's impact on carriers flying East ie. TK, PK,ED & SQ.
I would have loved to try the EK380 on my J class flight to Shanghai next month. However at £700 more than Lufthansa on my dates, I'm gonna settle for a trip via Frankfurt. It is a much quicker way & 700 quid is a bit of a difference.
