Gone quite here - let's think of something then...right runway 1 update was meant to be given to us last month but nothing, so is the resurfacing complete as it was meant to by mid-August? And full completion in mid September with all taxiways back open?

Now to other questions:
* New airbridges on Pier C - think it was for gates 31 & 32?? I know they all need replacing (and maybe t2 airbridges too?) but I suppose finance is not available for all??
* Pier B - I used to use fly to HAM every week on LH from this Pier in 06-08 haven't used it since as I know use EZY from T3, have they got rid of that horrible carpet and those uncomfortable chairs??

Pier B has been sort of done up, i think the carpet has gone. What colour was it? If it was light grey its still there.

Don't know why they need to replace the airbridges for gates 28-32. I know the outside looks a bit tatty but the inside looks really nice. I think that Gates 22-27 need their airbridges done up on the inside. I actually would like to see more airbridges in Pier B to be honest. There's only 4 and i think that sone should be installed on gates 9 & 11 and that other one to the left of 11 (Not sure if it's 12A or 12B), the one that the A380 doesn't use.

I think it was light grey - it was put down just before I stop flying with LH sometime in 2008. I was informed Pier B was sort of refurbished a bit like to Gate 12 area was done up. As for airbridges, I was also informed that all T1 airbridges were going to be installed but due to finances, it was just gates 31 & 32 that were having them. Well Pier B was meant to be re-built a few years ago but with the recession and now with the state of the worldwide economy I can't see it happening again. The pics I saw were nice, a taller building with airbridges on the east side too (gates 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and what was 11 is now 15).

Delta to reduce ALT-MAN to 5 weekly for winter. Nearly all other European routes from ALT also reduce to 5 weekly.

Winter chills and warmers.

Yes, the Atlantic is looking a little thin over Winter 2011/12, but it's not that unusual for frequencies to be dropped or certain routes to hibernate. Overall, MAN's USA network remains intact through an economic pooper on both sides of the pond, with all routes expected to be back at full strength next Spring.

The Air Nostrum (for Iberia) start up sees another legacy flag carrier returning to MAN, following TAP earlier this year. The huge expansion of capacity to the Gulf is now in place, the next few months should reveal whether that equals a net gain or just displacement of traffic which previously went via London or the EU hubs. Watch those stats.

All hail MAN, The UK's No. 3 Airport!

I would love manchester to see growth this year instead of decline which is has been doing for 4 years. Don't know if it will pass 20 million though. Would be nice

Growth is now well established but we won't see 20 Million this year, perhaps near 19 Million by year end or FY end.

Won't grow, sadly. No reason to. Fewer folk can afford to travel by air.

Well, YoY figures are up, so is, and, has been growing. We are over 18 million for rolling total so far, and wouldnt be surprised to see it hit 19 million. Also, we have retained the 3rd busiest UK airport spot.

Also, as for no reason to grow, I must be imagining the 3 new daily flights to the middle east, the new VS services, new Ryanair base, return of Iberia and TAP, new Tunisair flights, 2 extra easyjet units, new Jet2 flights and Norwegian air shuttle.

Nope, no reason at all for growth

The CAA stats do not tally with the airports that are issuing them. As I said, there's a 9000 difference:

MAN stats in 000s 18,428.7
STN stats in 000s 18,437.8

Would be interesting to see the transfer stats for STN as there's roughly another 190,000 pax to add to MAN.


Quite a drop for STN from it's heyday; with the economy being as it is perhaps those in the STN catchment area are no longer deciding to take as much discretionary travel with the cheap fares leading to a reduction in based units, destinations and frequency. We have to wait to see what the impact will be on MAN - already we know that the DL service to JFK is being pulled from September with it being reinstated from June.

There will be no impact as American were not doing JFK from MAN last winter 2010/11 but they are this year so the JFK figures will be more less the same and if they do fall it will be because people are not traveling.

JFK was due back from 23 March 2012. Has this being put back to June 2012? If so the only impact on JFK will be March - June 2012 were there will only be one carrier next year compared to two this year.

To add to STN woes they are losing 3 U2 aircraft plus most of Air Berlin
which is going to account for about 50,000 pax per month
