Does MAN have a masterplan for Terminal 1? I've just traveled through it for the first time in about 8 years and I have to say it's really showing it's age. The piers, customs area and baggage claim looked tired and dated. Even the departure lounge seemed cramped and poorly laid out. I don't want to get into a debate about which airport is best but when you look at what BHX has done over the past few years MAN T1 (can't speak for T2 or T3) really is lagging behind.

Antwerp service
Probably the only new route ex MAN this winter
MTWTFSX 0700 MAN-ANTWERP 0920 / 0950 - MAN 1010
MTWTFXS 1650 MAN-ANTWERP 1910 / 1950 - MAN 2000
Seems rather late to announce a new route with less than 6 weeks notice & no publicity.

New ZB/MON service to MUC
MUC route started today. ZB1324 had 155 passengers booked(A321 config 214). I remember when MXP/VRN/VCE routes started, some days the MXP had 30 passengers on it, but now as the summer ends and autumn begins, these routes are performing well.

A new route for BMIr but not a new route for Manchester. Cityjet operated this service until last Sunday.

They need to charge fares high enough to have the aircraft not flying for most of the day though, I suspect these ERJs will be paid off by now though.

55 extra staff
Airport is in fact extending contracts of the summer part time staff to cope with the re introduction of frisking until such time as the new scanners have been rolled out across all three terminals and transfer points.
Security staff are not thrilled, to say the least, at having to go back to the old method !

RYR supports MAG bid for STN
Stansted’s biggest customer, Ryanair, would be happy to see it taken over by the Manchester Airports Group (MAG), reports the Manchester Evening News.

Not sure that's exactly what MAG want to hear.
On one side yes it brings back passenger figures but do MAG seriously think they will be able to entice other airlines to STN with a Ryanair monopoly there.
Gonna be interesting!

Flew down to SOU on Tuesday (BE864), turned up to T3 2hrs before flight, already checked in online and not a queue in sight, infact only about 2 people at a flybe desk in front of me. Queued about 5 minutes at security though because they only had a fastlane + 1 other lane open. Apart from that everything a'ok. Flight back on Thurs (BE865), landed at 1250, off the plane on stand 43 at about 1255, straight into UK arrivals and my bag was first off the belt and walla, out of the terminal at 1305. 
Don't you just wish everyday was like that
