that would be good jscl, i think we've all had enough of this muppet again. its the same troll that got banned as simonchowder and kevlarkarl a few years back.
he works behind a desk in a recruitment office hiring engineers for monarch, when he's not counting paper clips he post's on here to wind people up. coz someone from wythenshawe nicked his cam book and broke his bino's on a trip to man while'st he was trying to spot how many monarch UNITS were flying compared to how many jet2 UNITS were on display.

From 1st July EK021/022 to be operated by a B777-300. First class offered but without First Class Suites (like the B777-300ER has).

Anyone know when SAS launched the following routes from MAN?

I know Bergen is this month and Copenhagen has been going for years but how long have SAS been on Oslo and Stockholm?

Thanks

MAG Future Strategy

Here is the latest on MAG's future business strategy according to the MEN

Manchester Airports Group could float to fund Stansted bid | Manchester Evening News - menmedia.co.uk

If they do acquire somewhere else, let's hope they don't take their eye off the ball of their flagship airport (MAN for the avoidance of doubt ) like last time.....

This must sound like a stupid question to most but I am travelling to HAM this weekend and I'm not checking any luggage in just using my rucksake but as I will have liquids and have nothing to put them in so they are under the required measurement, then can I check this small bag in? I only usually see suitcases being checked in. I have already checked in for my EZY flight on Sunday from HAM to MAN will I have to check in again if I add a bag. I'm travelling Friday from MAN to HAM with LH don't matter this way as they don't charge for checked in baggage.

Yes, a Eurowings CRJ900 and an easyJet A319.

Yes, I think you should be able to if the rucksack is reasonably sturdy. I am unsure about the EZY check in question.

If the liquids are under 100ml then you can buy the regulation liquids bag at MAN and put them in there.

Afaik you can check in whatever size luggage you want (as long as it is under the maximum sizes) but whether or not that's a good idea to is another thing. Loose straps etc don't go well with baggage systems

MAN rises to 22nd for the bussiest airports in Europe for 2011. Goes ahead of Stansted and Dublin.

28 Flights a Day to ...wait for it LONDON !!!!!!!!

SHED - maybe you can spread some fairydust on the strategy behind this one when a more worthy cause might be Iberia , TAP et al !

Here Here

...and surely a conflict of interest here as well, unless of coures they close it down and build a housing estate !

The airport management have been magnificent in the last 12 months, I hope they keep it going and concentrate on expanding what is after all the core business "Manchester Airport".

Buying Stansted and encouraging flights to London of all places does neither !

I didn't realise there were 28 flights a day to London but just because it's a shuttle travelling 200 miles down the road it doesn't mean it shouldn't be promoted.

I think it is better for MAG to be involved in the LON market and able to directly influence it than not be there at all. STN has a significant LCC market, but struggles on long-haul. Even there a lot of ground has been lost to LGW and SEN, which compete directly with STN, rather than MAN. Being part of a larger group could being benefits to both STN and MAN, with combined packages, etc being available. Better to be at the table, than out in the cold, as far as I am concerned.

Manchester Airport have confirmed that Ryanair will move to T3 on 6th March.

Statement:

'This move will utalise some of the spare capacity we have had on T3 since EZY moved to T1 in November whilst also providing Ryanair with
the potential to grow their base here at Manchester.'

No 23 - ARN passed MAN. Next year BER (combined traffic of TXL and SXF was 24 million in 2011) will be ahead of MAN but MAN could go ahead of MXP.

Air Blue are maintaining their ISB-MAN-ISB flights with tech stop most probably at Sabiha Gokcen Airport (previously used Ankara later moved to Trabzon and then back to Ankara), in addition to the new full rights routing via the airport.
