and SQ seemingly have worked out the sums and must have boosted available MAN capacity given the loads are appreciably higher than they were some time ago =why boost them if the German market is filling them. Can't say anything for the breakdown of classes between MAN and MUC but don't think having LH operate MUC-SIN in competition helps SQ.

According to a Handling Agent I know, SQ are picking up transfer pax at MAN including some from the VS Orlando service. This seems a strange route but it all helps keep the service viable.

Just diverted to Manchester, no emg. squawk, could be either a fuel stop (serious miscalculation) or medical...anyone care to enlighten?
EDIT: Medical diversion is the cause

Passengers: 2,058,389 +6.64%

Could be 20m by the end of the year.

The chances for MAN reaching 20 million this year is very slim to non. To reach 20 million the growth would have to be at least 6.9% the rest of the year. With the three next month being very important charter traffic months, the reduced number of based charter aircraft points to a continues deline of charter passengers in excess of the year rolling number right now which is -7.2%. With that in mind and now knowing the increase starting with W12/13, MAN may well end up around 19.8 million terminal passengers in 2012 (that means around 5% increase in average the next six months).

LN-KGL could well be right.
On the other hand, I'm hearing bookings to escape the Olympics and Mother Nature are boosting forward figures nationwide. Is it enough to push it that final 200,000 over KGL's estimate?
Place your bets !

Seven football matches at Old Trafford - isn't that the only whiff of the Olympics Manchester gets? Why evacuate?
Mother Nature is something different. I had two trips to British Isles in April, and I did bring with me an umbrella. The umbrella I had to fold as it turned tulip while visiting a part of Wales where one of the hangars at the airfield I visited threatened with taking off. Driving back to Chester from Wales passing Wrexham I wondered why the drains had turned in to fountains.

Rolling 12 months until June 2012:
19,467,014 +5,21%
532,986 left to 20m or 88,831 per month.
In June 2012 MAN saw 128,123 passengers more than in June 2011. If it continues like that then it's possible.

SQ and VS have been codesharing on each others flights through MAN since Jesus was a lad. 
They used to get some interesting feed on the old nonstop 772ER flights to SIN with people who wanted to fly them but avoid the hellhole in West London, including quite a few from EI. As for it going nonstop, again, well add that to all the other rumours including being dropped, delinked with MUC and linked with CPH instead, linked with AMS, linked with BRU, going 'Scoot'....
One of them will come true at some point I'm sure.

Whoops
Assuming the MEN story is correct that the police knew that the man knew that the police were waiting for him, could they not have gone to the aircraft to apprehend him? Or are there some rules preventing this?
