Air Malta cutting down to 5 weekly next year:
Air Malta cuts 11 UK flights for summer, as Budget inflicts 2% VAT rise on tourist beds | MaltaToday
I would say Easyjet are having an affect but they are cutting flights across the board in the UK.

WINTER 10/11 MODIFIED SNOWPLAN
Last winter there was a lot of complaining on various aviation websites with regards to the planning and action undertaken by Manchester Airport when snow hit the airport.
As the winter once again rears it's ugly face I thought you would be interested in the following link:

It would appear that some lessons have been learned and I hope that the increase in staffing levels will allow for a better response to whatever snow/ice we may have.

I'm not on holiday dh dragon. Not until December 10th at least when I'm off to Hamburg for a weekend in the company of Easyjet.
Anyway, good news about the passengers being up for Oct. Take it the EK A380 loads are continuing to do well?!
I know this is not a Lufthansa thread but can anyone clear up a couple of questions I have as I fly with them about 10 times a year on business and would like some info please.
*Is Hamburg being operated by a CRJ700 all year round now?
*Have the Stuggart loads not been up to expectations, hence the downgrade to CRJ200? or is that just because winter's here?
*And will we be getting extra Frankfurt and Munich flights from next year? I believ this would bring them up to 5 daily (FRA) and 4 daily (MUC)?

Also, scottie dog thanks for the link, but it doesn't seem to be working for me, I get page cannot be found message. Someone on airlines.net also posted the same link and no luck with that either. Can you tell me where it is located on the MAN website?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Would it not ultimately save far more energy (and inconvenience users less) to fit sensors to all the escalators and travelators at MAN, as one sees at German airports. When a person steps on them, they activate; when no user is detected they switch themselves off again. Energy usage is optimized and the job still gets done. Is this just too simple for MAN?

Virgin Lounge @ T2
Next year they are launching StalyVegas to Las Vegas. Probably not a great deal of Upper Class on that one, but there will be two VS flights ex-MAN each day, every day from next Spring. The lounge sounds like a vote of confidence. They may well have bigger plans for the future. Bring it on!

I believe that they are looking at a new Upper Class seat for the A330 so although the flights are loaded in the system, you are unable to book Upper yet...Def showing Premium Economy as well as standard Econ, so will not just be all Y class config.

as the 330 operating the VS75 is a single class config then there probably won't be upperclass at all then!
And dont forget the second MCO, BGI and LAS are all on the B744, so all is not lost for upper class pax....
Also, they may be building a V-room, which is an optional extra available to all Virgin Holiday pax.

LGW / MAN Beach fleet gets Economy and Premium Economy mix.
Heathrow fleet also gets the new Upper Class suite.
