MANCHESTER - 8
The airport owns and operates it but is dependent upon information being inputted by airlines, handling agents and ATC which then drives the displays at the airport and on line.

EK
Mr A Tis
Loads generally fall way during Ramadan, BHX has seen quite a lot of EK three class 77W's (354-364 seats compared to 428/442) on both services and I can assure you it is not due to the sudden demand for first class seats at BHX.
Most websites have Ramadan ending around 18/08 this year and hopefully things should improve.
The next couple of years will be interesting as Ramadan merges into the traditional low season of May/June giving potentially three months of low loads.

I am very local to MAN, my employment is to some extent dependent on MAN being successful ... I wont knock MAN without good reason ... but when data is out there in the public domain and the airprt is behind the times then I'm sorry but they are guilty of providing a very poor service and the should be held accountable for not being up to speed.

Poor flight data updates
The entry in Chroma which allows handling agents to show aircraft diverted on flight information screens has been disabled so some unknown reason, i think it is a system error. Therefore the correct updates could not be shown for the LLC flight as with the TCX/EY/FR diverts today.
runway 05L in use this afternoon
visited the airport for a couple of hours this afternoon which was busy with typically 4 or 5 aircraft at the holding point to 05L and a similar number of inbounds to the same runway. the emirates A380 waited for about 20 minutes at the holding point before it could take off.
my question is why wasn't 05R being used for arrivals as the airport seemed busy enough ?

Let's say you saw A6-EDE twice - to land around 12:50 local time and departing around 15:16lt. The only other A380 in the vicinity this afternoon was an Air France A380 passing above MAN 14:32lt at 36,000 feet.
I presume you had Hendrick's

I think Tight Seat meant the blue Sapphire - I'm more governed and go for the No. Ten DS
The reason for the late departure of the EK18 may have been cause by what came down in buckets.

Was taxiing out on another flight and saw the EK flight lift off - looked great even though the weather was terrible then with the wind and rain.
Was on a FR flight and we taxied out but there were 6-7 ahead of us then. Saw the A380 go and then a Monarch and two BMIs but then they stopped all departures for a while due to the wind. After a while we taxied down the main runway in convoy - an Easyjet, then a Monarch, then us with a Jet2 behind and went past the stand we had come from and then took off from the opposite end. Was a rocky old flight back over to Dublin!
