Can anybody (easyflyer83?) give us a hint as to what likely new EZY routes are to be opened from MAN for next summer? Thanks, DomyDom
An A380 that has been in the air for over six hours should not be "overweight" for landing.
I was actually told earlier today by someone who saw the landing that it was chased down the runway by firetrucks in case of hot brakes.
Guess it might not mean that it was "overweight", but apparently they were worried about the possibility of something happening.

Thanks easyflyer83, really good to see Easyjet's commitments to Manchester coming on stream and I think that you and them are doing a great job
Also regarding your response and having just come back from the greek islands (of crete in this case) I can vouch that they are a fantastic place to visit.
With EZY, Jet 2 and Ryanair really coming on like we were hoping they would I think MAN now has a fantastic portfolio of routes to be proud of. I would just now like to see Oporto, Krakow, Warsaw, Granada, Seville! Hopefully I'm not expecting too much!
Good luck to the airlines and lets hope things develop further. I'm certainly looking forward to my weekend break in Berlin from Manchester using Easyjet! At the end of the day we know that MAN has a huge catchment area with the incentive and ability to pay for premium routes, and may this continue.

SKP 1E, ref A380 divert.
This was reported by the crew to ATC to AFS as an overweight landing.
If our own service had to divert back soon after departure you would not be surprised if it was declared overweight, I am unsure why an en route diversion with a similar fuel load should be seen as anything different?

Single r/w ops
Why did the A380 divert not land on 23L? It's longer and separate from 23R, which would have stopped the delays for other traffic. An RNAV or managed VOR approach would have worked fine. the cloudbase was not restricting.
In fact, what is the reason for so much single-runway ops at MAN? (Obviously if WIP is taking place, no issue). It seems like a waste to have aircraft waiting for departure, burning expensive fuel, while an empty runway is not being used. Perhaps it is a cost issue for the airport....anyone care to answer?

WIP it is, surfacing 23R and all new lighting, work should be complete by end of month,then the work is training the ATC staff on the new electronic progress strips
which will reduce openeing hours on 23L/05R for winter
