I believe the provisional plan is for the US PHL A330 to use St44, AA ORD 767 to use st55, AA JFK 757 to use st54 and the US CLT 757 to use st49. However, with 44 in use, this precludes the simultaneous use 44L and 44R currently used by Flybe. Either way, something has to give.

Lot of choice going East via the legacies and the MEB3 which makes it a tough ask.
If you only looked at this number ignored contained and future potential other industrial and leisure indicators, socio economic trends (that may indicate yield potential) political leverage and just little entrepreneurial risk taking no new route would ever commence anywhere !
An interesting static worth considering is that Hainan has announced PEK-BOS on a 2012 boarding figure of just 127,418 for ALL of China from Logan.
Air China are operating to Geneva on boardings of 85,000 for ALL of China in 2011 !
Presee a useful matrix but only a jigsaw corner piece
Air China
...and with Gatwick showing only a measly 3.8% of the China market, makes it look even odder that Air China have announced the resumption of LGW-PEK from next March. This has been suspended since last October.
On the face of it, you would have thought Manchester with 3 times the market might have got the service for which Air China already hold the rights for.

I have just been checking the current timetable position.
As was reported previously the Monday and Wednesday DME had been dropped.
The replacements are ATH on Monday and SKG on Wednesday. Also on Wednesday the afternoon MLA has now moved to the morning and some other timings altered.
The previous timetable did not show a Thursday MLA like this year. This has now been reinstated. These latest changes make full use of the 8 based aircraft

Ill try and see if I can find a public link but according to an email I recieved today, Air China have re-applied for 4 weekly MAN-PEK flights with the rights for onward flights to another EU destination (unspecified in the email). The slots are for winter 2014.
I say re-applied as they previously held the rights for 7 weekly MAN-PEK flights.
Obviously could mean nothing as slots are requested and unused all the time, but its progress!

Slot requests are part and parcel of keeping options open for route planning until someone higher up decides where to place the asset (aircraft).

However what most people will take away from what you just said is Air China are launching PEK-MAN-DUB
In other news, Cathay's slots for the B747-800 have now been cleared in Frankfurt, so as well as Spanner's tip off, looking likely MAN will finally see the -800.

November pax up 1.02%
Manchester Airport : Traffic Statistics
Click on the above link then on November to open the PDF
Schedule International pax up 9.5% or 84000 but what a whopping percentage figure for the IT decrease - 28%. I suppose we will have to wait and see how other airports fared although only Gatwick is really in Manchester's league.
Rolling year 20,775,049
Freight up as well.
I apologise if these have been posted as they have been out a few days.

1.02% increase ?
A Manchester Airport spokesman said: “The official numbers confirm the upward trend in passenger numbers we’ve witnessed here at Manchester over the last year. It’s come from across the airline network with growth from blah blah blah.......
