Its a weird one, as the Egyptair timetable shows it operating 5 weekly, but it is showing as back bookable on all platforms from 1st April onwards.

So maybe it will become a seasonal route?
The story I was told was that a tour company has brought the entre allocation of seats for the winter season, thus making the flight a 'charter' route for the winter, but, it seems a definitive answer is not forthcoming

Egyptair MAN - Cairo
I'm using the flight at the end of the month, business class with a 2 hr transfer to Amman. Price and timings were very good. No other airline came close. I will report back

June - 3597 pax per the CAA on MAN-CAI
Planespotters.net show two configs for the 738 16/144 or 24/120.
June shows 44 rotations = 82 pax per flight.
Load factor 57% at best.
All things considered an amazing load factor.

MS Cairo

PAX 3597/44 flights = 82 pax per flight
44 flights at 144 seats = 6336 seats maximum = 57% load factor
44 flights at 160 seats = 7040 seats maximum = 51% Load factor
The figures you have used seem to be based on 120 seats.
Not many 738's flying with a 120 config even schedule airlines.
I just can't get it to 68% using anything other than 120 config which per th databases I have checked does not exist on the MS 738.
It that was the first month of operation in the current climate it seems pretty good - 68% would be brilliant.

Most of the loads I have seen recently have been around 100 mark which
does give a 68% load give or take a bit

They can put on 10 flights a day to Jeddah as far as I'm concerned and I for one will not be on one.
I'm out there every month and it's EY every time. MAN-AUH-JED and return.
5 hour wait in AUH is perfect for raising my blood alcohol level before entering the evil kingdom.

Minimum Fuel
A friendly 'heads-up' to aircrews: if you are operating inbound to MAN/EGCC on Summer season Saturday lunchtimes [11:30-14:30Z], turning up at the hold with minimum fuel is a seriously bad idea. Remember, MAN/EGCC is not a tranquil backwater despite what some would like to believe! And don't forget, we haven't even started with the extra football traffic yet (coming soon!).
Memo to MAG: Time to look at funding dual runway ops during this period? This is not unique to Summer 2013. Unless the economy implodes between now and Summer 2014, you need to be planning for dual ops during these hours next year. And whilst Saturday is the worst bottleneck, certain other days merit a close look early-afternoon too.

Olton pete,
Thanks for the Egyptair breakdown, as you say over 50% in the current climate in Egypt is good, hope it returns to MAN next year if it is to be seasonal ?

I think for MAN to move forward, it is imperative that a full taxiway system is finished for southern runway, I appreciate that restrictions are in place during certain hours but this should have been buil during construction. I would imagine that MAG have plans drawn up. Anybody else know anything?
