RAF ZJ782 AS365 Dauphin has been in the Manchester area since 2000z, so I assume this is what you're seeing / hearing

Isn't Copenhagen rather a long trek in a helicopter?

rampman cheers

must be some aerial footage for video promos during the Olympics....either that or they are plotting the perfect 'drop off' point from the sky for Boris and Cameron once the Olympics begin so to not embarrass us anymore!

Qatar

Does anyone know if the change in GDS from double daily to ten weekly
is definite or due to some time changes?

For summer 2012 I could only find Sunday, Wednesday and Friday as
double daily.

I know GDS changes can be temporary and it migt be a case that the airline
is just adjusting flight times and configs etc but other than Christmas and
New Year the loads have been variable although I realise cargo has been reported as good.

Yes it`s is due to aircraft shortage and is temporary until winter season
as are a number of other routes.

It`s not the airports fault, it`s to do with oil pipe line to the airport

I am totally aware its not the airports fault !, just saying we seem to spend an awful lot of time with Notams in place for refusing diversions...for one reason or another.

Oh dear, more chaos at Man ,Good job its so quiet at present. I went over there to a meeting yeterday in T1, place is like ghost town, T2 isnt a lot better either, good job they have the monarch and ryanair movements to keep things ticking over.

Whats going on with jet 2? half the fleet appears to be on static display over by the cargo area , makes you realize just what a white elephant the second runway was.

TSR2 - Topspotter is a wind-up-merchant - don't feed him and he'll get the point.

I think that's what they call "Dilbert Logic".

The 2nd runway is most definitely not a white elephant.
We have 3 runways here in Zürich and sometimes we need them all...

[QUOTE=Topspotter;6949356] good job they have the monarch and ryanair movements to keep things ticking over.

oh here we go,your usual snipe at jet2. why dont you mention that there were just as many(if not more) thompson,monarch,thomas cook,and 2 ryanair aircraft also parked up on the so called "static display" area??
everyone(except you) knows that a lot of aircraft get parked over the quiet winter period.
for someone who claims to work in the industry you dont know much about it.
