Biman Bangladesh have re-requested slots at MAN for a 2nd November start. DAC-MAN-JFK-MAN-DAC on a 2 weekly basis.
May actually be a step closer this time, as Manchester and New York had previously been removed from the website, but have now been re-stated, saying 'flights suspended until further notice'.
Shame you can book but a good step forward.
Also, DAC-MAN-JFK arrives at 03:00 and leaves at 04:30, and the return is 22:30ish, so no good for any spotters out there.

2) it is always on time.......

The news report in which BMI Regional confirm their withdrawal from the ABZ-BHX schedule wef October 29th goes on to state that ABZ-MAN frequency will rise to 6 x daily Mon-Fri. This will fill a capacity gap in the afternoon schedule according to the report.

FlyBe Routes
FLYBE has just announced new routes from Manchester to Aberdeen (18 rotations per week) and Nantes (4 rotations per week). Both services commence in early December and use Q400 equipment.
A bit of positive news for a change.

I don't see BD having the bottle for a long fight with BE over ABZ... That said, they (BD) have had the route to themselves for quite some time, and I know they have a lot of "regulars". TBH, I am really surprised that it took this long for BE to enter the fray.

Although I can't remember the number of flights operated, don't forget that MAN-ABZ managed to support both BA (in it's various regional guises) and bmi at the same time for a number of years.
Flew out of T2 last night and was given the impression by the groundstaff that AF would not be located in T2 for much longer.
Is this right? Surely they couldn't be going to T3 with BE - But then I can't see it being T1 either.

FlyBe Routes
I have just received an e.mail from FlyBe promoting their Winter programme from Manchester. Whilst 14 destinations are listed, I note the absence of MAN-NWI, MAN-MSE and MAN-EXT (plus seasonals which are to be expected). Can anybody confirm whether these three routes are getting the chop, going seasonal, or are they just excluded from the list by oversight (pretty unlikely I would have thought). Thanks in advance for any info provided.

Edit: I have noticed that the promotion focuses on weekend breaks. Perhaps these routes are excluded because they don't offer a Sunday operation?

This is a question I've asked on this forum before with no answer. As we know, AF and Flybe are to share the route MAN-CDG between them, however, Flybe operate out of T3 and are handled by Flightsupport and AF/KLM out of T2 and handled by Swissport. Flybe are unlikely to move from T3, so does this mean AF moving to T3 and switching handling agents ?? - would KLM move with them ??.
What is interesting too is that you can book a flight after OCT 31 to CDG on the Flybe website which includes the flights flown by AF but if you try to book from the AF site, all available options are via AMS on KLM !

Terminal 3
Picked up my daughter from Terminal 3 last night. The plane landed at 23.31 and she cleared the airport complete with checked-in baggage by 23.49. Well done Terminal 3 staff.
