Mr Branson has moved to the British Virgin Isles according to The Times.
"Sir Richard also said that he spends most of his time starting not for profit ventures, the income from which is donated to charity."
Maybe Little Red is the initial template ?

AC Rouge
Deep breaths everybody!
As j636 said a few replies ago, AC have not yet released their fares for summer 2014 from Manchester.
The prices you're seeing right now are up to £500-600 more expensive than the fares they were selling for Summer 2013,
I'd expect much better deals to be released in the next couple of months.

Swissport industrial action possible
Some of you might have already seen today...
94% have voted in favor of strike (50%+ turnout). Urgent meeting called by Swissport with Unite Union for talks on Wednesday.

Virtually all UK strike votes lead to settlements before it starts so you would expect one here too.So nothing to worry about yet.
Now if the firemen at the airport walked out with no negotiations planned that would be a different matter.

One year the fire service, the next the baggage handlers (only one in those days). All TGWU and neither would cross the other's picket lines....

Some seismic media coverage of Airport City and the Chinese investment over the last few days, still catching up but really impressive.
Nice touch from the BBC suggesting (and confirming) that it will be largest infrastructure investment since The Olympics !

Nice touch but as often happens with the BBC not entirely accurate. For starters Airport City isn't even an infrastructure development its a property development and as such wouldn't even make it into the top 20 schemes in the UK in terms of value (the Nine Elms development on the South Bank of the Thames is top of that list with a value of over £13.4 billion).

Well no I cannot confirm, as I don't work for Saudia and can only report things like GDS entries and press releases.
Seems to be more to suggest they will start rather than not, however.

SAS are to increase MAN-OSL from 5 weekly to daily from March 2014.
Wonder if there is any coincidence that Norwegian are rumoured to open a MAN base which would no doubt lead to an increase of the OSL route, the first route Norwegian operated this time around at MAN?

As LAX_LHR originally said I thought SAS to Oslo was only five a week namely Dx26. Nonetheless having checked the SAS timetable it shows it operating on Tuesday as well as the Airport one (not that the Airport timetable can be relied upon.)

Viscount.
It seems a tuesday flight has been added and operating on sas website. Not sure when that came in as it was definately 5 weekly ex tue/sat until recently.
None the less good to see the increases.
