MANCHESTER - 8

And finally confirmation of Ryanairs move to T3 in March,should be interesting what EZYs reaction will be?

They are moving again? They wern't in T2 long, maybe they didnt like it. Next thing you know they will end up being back in T1 because T3 is too small.

Shorter taxi time to/from T3. Would not be surprised if T3 became exclusive to FR.

Unlikely to become exclusive to FR as it's the only terminal with proper domestic arrival facilities to cater for BA and Flybe. Stand availability could become an issue in the short term though.

T3 would never become Ryanair only. Not until at least they have circa 10 based units.

[Topspotter]

Units?? ..What exactly is wrong with using good old plain english ie a aeroplane/aircraft is exactly that, why refer to it as "unit"

Bad move.

T3 is the only terminal without IRIS at UK Border. All passports subject to manual swipe and inspection.

[Topspotter]

Cannot see a problem, anyone using MAN should be well use to to delays getting through the airport

Its only "spotters" who dont like the term "units" and thankfully they have their own subforum.... dont they ? So get with it.

That report is very old.

Crain's Manchester Business closed some years back

I arrived in T2 recently and it was not working there all cordoned off!

Because in good old plain English it is an aeroplane/aircraft not a!

[easyflyer83]

I call them aircraft but often when talking about how many aircraft are based somewhere i use units purely from bait as this is usually how it's described within my company. Not that I feel I shoud explain myself but if it really irritates you....... Seek help

[CabinCrewe]

nobody else seems to take issue with it except you, so its a bit odd your offering advice

[AircraftOperations]

Don't get confused between "IRIS" and Facial Recognition "E-Gates". I think MAN has both - although not in every terminal.
As I understand it, IRIS is to be phased out (no new applications accepted I believe).
I also believe that it is UKBA who are responsible for having the machines operational and turned on/off when flights come in. I think UK Airports themselves often get a bit of grief for these machines, when they just host them.

When FR first came back (with no based units) they were offered preferable fees by MAG to use T2 in the quiet period (early evening). Now we have based aircraft they aren't getting those rates anymore and aren't happy with taxi times to and from T2, especially around the C pier bottle neck in the morning hence the move to T3.
