Courtesy of posters on the Eastern Airways thread:
From Monday (presumably September 6th), an Eastern Airways Saab 2000 will operate regular flights on MAN-ABZ on behalf of BMI Regional. This is to release an E145 which is required for commitments at LHR.

Re: PIER B REDEVELOPMENT
You've probably seen this but thought I would post anyway as a refresher!

Looks like if we're all patient, we'll get the first class 5* pier everybody has been moaning about!

Thanks for the refresher Easyjet Jack. I have been wondering about this redevelopment on Pier B for a while. Have MAN got the funds for this? If not, when will they have? I know Stand 12 and an extension for the EK A380 has been done only recently and looks very nice and modern compared to the rest of Pier B, but it urgently needs re-building. Is Pier B going to be refurbished inside for the rest of the gates?
Also, Pier C isn't the best looking from the outside at least, not to bad inside I suppose, but certainly not as bad as Pier B is, before Gate 12 of course.
Anyone with any info?

AFAIK, Eastern Airways were the only Airline to offer a guaranteed backup a/c. If BA did, I cannot remember one at Manch
Occasionally the forward bookings would 'predict' that the backup was required and all would be in place (crew,catering loaders etc) for a perfect service-but not often.

EGCC Hilton has the "no room at the Inn" sign up (I got two of the last ones this morning, and write from there now
)
Just waiting for an EK First Class pap to offer me something silly for my hutch - I am always open to offers!
Nice g/a on approach #1 from the EK; but the Monarch 'Bus trumped it with it's dirty low pass at not-many-ft agl.
Happy Days, and a comfy(ish) double for one.

Back up on BA LHR - Man
The BFS - LHR Shuttle (subsequently Super Shuttle) normally operated with a B757 with another 757 or a 737/200 as a back up. The concept was turn up and fly even if you do not have a ticket. The BFS route was not hourly but more or less every other hour. The TV ad that is most memoriable is a video of a B757 with the voice over this plan contains 2 pilots, x cabin crew and one very important passenger. On several occasions I was one of fewer than 10 on the back up. But of course in those days fares were many times what they are today.

Looking at Emirates website it would appear that today's EK18 will now depart as EK8018 at 1400 tomorrow. Presumably both 380s won't go from gate 12 (regular flight is scheduled out at 1410). Could be interesting!

Tonights flight went on Pier C, think its 31....EDL will be repositioned to 62 (the other compliant stand) before EDH arrives...with all this talk of EDL going at 1400 i take it they have fixed the problem ???
Spanners is right. Electrical fault.
Where's a B2 when you need one.
