flights from Pakistan to Heathrow, Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds/Bradford were profitable and could be expanded.
Rashid said any expansion on UK routes would be in time for the summer timetable, which starts at the end of March
Guess we will just have to wait and see, wont we "CabinCrewe"

When I saw it was Tuesday/Saturday I thought that is the end of Lisbon
with TAP on its way and the original schedule was tight anyway but no,
the one aircraft does 8 sectors and the other six most days. All routes
seem to remain served in the peak summer months at least. France is well covered to say the least.

Yes, happy to revisit this particular thread.....how long will we give it...til march or maybe 6 months ? You dont honestly think PIA will choose to expand at LBA when their prime routes to the US are about to be axed, the A310s are on there way out and the majority of regional routes ex UK will be routed with TK thru IST.
GLA was announced just a few months ago as being profitable and continuing, its an age old promo ploy....

Could a massive expansion drive from TK then be on the cards? I'm sure LBA would appreciate say a 5x weekly IST service?
Maybe MAN would get an upgrade to an A330 or at least increase from (I think) 10x weekly to twice daily.

Whilst they are more likely to keep it for the local population, I wouldnt be totally surporised to see BHX go but TK increase, due to it being sandwiched between LHR/MAN.
As for MAN, its obvious the KHI/JFK route is going, but wouldnt be surprised it TK goes either double daily or A330/A340 mix, even with ISB/LHE still served from MAN, either that or PIA will continue to operate all of ISB/LHE/KHI on its own metal.
Thanks In Advance

Regarding Work Experience. I did my Y11 work experience at the airport covering various departments such as Baggage Management, Apron Control and Information Desks and yes i'd recommend it. Your best bet is to contact HR at the airport. I did previously contact Louise Kania although I'm unsure if she still works there. They only take on one work experience student per month (or did in 2005 when I did mine) so it is best to contact them asap. Unfortunately I don't have a number for you but i'm sure browsing the website will produce a result.
All the best

What are the times and dates of the R1 closure? Will this create a queue for a/c if 23L is in use? A few years ago relatives were landing in MAN around 2.30AM in October, some work was being done on 23R/05L and they had to circle for about 20mins to allow a/c ahead of them to land on 23L and backtrack, I remember them telling me if felt much longer than it actually was and they began to feel sick with all the turns. Where do they usually hold if there landing on 23L/23R? Also, surley this can't happen every night for the next how many months for every A/C landing at night?

Cyprus Airways MAN - PFO
Am booked Cyprus Airways MAN - PFO & return in April or at least I was!!!
Was checking a flight detail yesterday and noticed that
1) routing was now MAN - LCA
2) outward leg had been pushed back >24 hrs
called Cyprus Airways
Yes that's correct;
& when were they going to tell me?
Soon!!!
They tell me that transportation between LCA & PFO would be to my account
Guesstimate >Euro 350 (for a party of 6)!!!
Mentioned Refund but ? as to when & How much (will there be deductables???
Guesstimate for alternate fares is approx Euro's 760 more ( for party of 6) and due uncertainty of refund time likelihood of incurring c/card charges/interest
Needless to say Cyprus Air is not my favourite airline and will be off my list in future - would have been my first trip but likelyhood of 2 trips a year for foreseeable future
So Jet2 or perhaps Monarch from now on

Sorry bto hear your being messed about, but dont let the transfer put you off, turn it to your advantage and hire a car or two for the duration, its very cheap in Cyprus and it will give you the opportunity to get out and about in this fantastic and varied island.

Haven't they provided you with a contract to get you from A to B? They are offering you A to C with no means of transport to B.
I am sure you are entitled to a full refund or the airline pays for you to get to PFO out of their pocket as it's within their control.
The only deductions should be in place is Credit Card fees even the taxes & airport fees should be refunded.
You can check out the list of EU National Enforcement bodies for Cyprus & UK and seek their advice by writing to them your predicament. source They should provide you with exactly what your entitled to under European Law.

The EK17 / 18 is being handled during a quiet time in T1. It arrives when most of the based IT is away and departs just as the MON afternoon arrivals begin. I think the evening flight would be the same, the real test may be with any additional morning A330 / B772 that gets dropped amongst some late morning departures. As stop gap infrastructure goes though it seems to be quite effective.
