When we fly from MAN we have about 3-4 cases and we don't use the trolleys. We just walk with them from the long stay car park to the check-in desk. Besides last time we used one we had to have to put in £1 anyway. we got it back like.

Brussels CRL increases from daily to 11 weekly (CRL aircraft)
Along with FMM and RYG, CRL seems to to be in the bottom 3 of consecutively low loads

I suggests Brussels as a whole is at over capacity. Have been travelling peak times with BE and SN for some time now, rarely see a full ac, normally on the 50-70% loads.
So, surprising to see FR's increases...

Snow forecast
Just in case anyone from MAG is reading this can I just make sure you have seen the weather forecast for the weekend. I don't want to see any excuses about "being caught out" by unexpected snowfall. You have a full 24 hours to get your act together

Do you mean like EHAM did today, they had notice and still managed to go SNOCLO, regardless of the notice it's dependent on the volume of the White stuff....disruption is always very near when snow is about...ask the KLM tripple pilot who was told this afternoon that he was number "59" for takeoff !!!

With 600 metres in heavy snow along with freezing rain, I can guarantee you one thing, disruption. No airport in the world would continue to operate normally in those conditions, so if you're caught up in it, have some patience, you're not going anywhere because it's not safe to work at the flat out pace we do when the weather's in it's normal range.

I Know, I Know, that snow causes problems but the trouble is that not too long ago MAN was caught with its pants down with not enough staff to drive the equipment and the airport remained closed for hours longer than it should have (remember the bad press)
When the snow does stop falling it helps matters enormously if you have the capability to remove it.
That is why my "tongue in cheek" post was made
To all Ops staff at MAN good luck and keep up the good work, I will be watching from my armchair !
Cheers

Manchester SNOCLO
Watching on flight radar a BMI 320 and MON A300 in the hold over Buxton, at 16 and 17 thousand. Latest METAR shows snow closed with freezing rain. BHX and LBA both still open and showing snow

Re: Manchester SNOCLO
As soon as i posted the thread the BMI has started his approach, held for over 20 mins so probably a sweep of the runway to give better breaking action......

Manchester is snow closed again. But this time for 2 hours along with Leeds, Birmingham & East Midlands Airports.
Manchester are estimating to be reopen at 21:00 and it looks like most flights are diverting into Liverpool.
