I'm guessing that depends on flight distance, fuel as well etc?
I would have thought the 77L would be streets ahead of most but considering it flies on long distances I guess this is where it falls short?
Say MAN-DXB was flown with a full PAX load - surely the 77L could carry more in terms of weight? Or have I got it wrong? I probably have...

Etihad increase Manchester Airport flights : Manchester Airport News Stories
I'm completely lost...How on earth can they say that?
The frequency increase illustrates how Etihad has firmly established itself in the north west of England and that we are now the airline of choice for business and leisure travellers, whether flying to Dubai or transferring through to destinations in the east, such as Australia, Thailand and Japan.’
And it looks like HEL will be axed. A recent business brief mentioned that BIO, OPO and VCE were being considered but was surprised when I heard yesterday as I expected it in the medium term due to the programme being full this Summer. It would now appear that HEL is being semi replaced by the BIO. HEL, in the same brief, was also noted as not performing great. They certainly did well on sales mind and are quite popular amongst crew.
That leaves two slots in the programme by my reckoning.

from the TAS Manchester site:
EuroAtlantic B763 CS-TLO positioned in late evening as MMZ006P and left just under two hours later as MMZ006 bound for Tokyo carrying Aid teams etc to assist in the rescue efforts following the recent devastation caused by the Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami.

Easyjet MAN-HEL-MAN
Right guys, bit of an issue here.
Mate of mine is flying to HEL on the 4th July and returning 6th July with easyjet. As I've seen on the forum, people have said it's been cancelled and I tried booking on the website and it showed no flights available. It does say though that the new schedule for July onwards will be released in April.
Any ideas on what to do? Should be contact EZY and find out? He booked the flight about 2/3 weeks ago.

Easyjet are closing all routes from HEL in late June for MAN and LGW and early July for CDG. Give them a few days and they should e-mail custemers about the cancelled flights.

As Jamie said, all HEL flights are cancelled this summer, so, he will probably get an email next week.
At MAN, easyjet is replacing HEL with 3 weekly Bilbao and an extra flight to Mahon. There are still some gaps in the schedule for another flight/route, with OPO and VCE rumoured.

Also, seems like Etihad is very happy at MAN, saying that they appriciate the fact MAN 'trusted them' back when EY were just starting up. Also seems EY are open to more growth at MAN too, which is always welcome.

Anyone know when they're due for delivery? I hear they are going to both be MAN based on the VS076 / 075 for the first month until operations ramp up.

Biman Outlines Ambitious Network Growth Plans
Biman Outlines Ambitious Network Growth Plans :: Routesonline
Posted 15/03/2011
BIMAN BANGLADESH AIRLINES has confirmed that it still plans to resume services on the Dhaka – Manchester – New York JFK route this summer and has requested permission from UK and US authorities to extend its licence to serve the two markets. It is currently in discussions to lease a Boeing 777-200 or -200ER to launch the route from May and will then plans to introduce its own 777-300ERs from November or December when the first two of four aircraft it has on order are delivered. The national carrier has served New York since 1993, initially via Brussels and from April 2006 via Manchester, but suspended flights later the same month.
Alongside this route, Biman is also planning new links to Guwahati, Male, Milan, Paro and Sydney over the coming year, resuming flights to Guangzhou and Colombo and serving the Saudi Arabian cities of Dammam and Riyadh directly from Dhaka rather than on a triangle route.
