Seatplans.com ..state TCX long haul 332s do have 325 seats and do have seat back TVs.Passengers will be noted in advance if they are not working/in use ?
I assume the 332s don't sit around doing nothing, so what has been chopped to accomadate these extra flights or have they got an extra plane now ?

The Germania flights at Manchester have been added by Olympic, and seem to replace Travel Service for Many.
Travel Service to still have 2 based. One will cover Jet2 flights, the other will operate some flights and be on call for ad hoc charter work.
Germania flights:
Corfu:
Monday x2 flights. One leaves at 0830, other at 1945
Heraklion:
Tuesday at 1845 and Friday at 1935
Rhodes:
Wednesday x2 flights. One leaves at 0900 other at 1930
Zante:
Thursday at 0840 and Sunday at 2330
Larnaca:
Sunday at 0930
Skiathos:
Friday at 0715
Obviously a lot of gaps, particularly Tuesday morning, Thursday afternoon and no flights on Saturday, but I was informed that there will be flights to Pristina on a Saturday, but cannot find them at present.

Pristina? I think you mean Preveza, which is in Greece and
a more likely holiday destination than Pristina...

No Pristina. Apparently there is a demand for flights from the North. Germania are doing 1-2 weekly flights from LGW-PRN, one of which is also a Saturday so not beyond the realms of possibility.

Aeroflot
Could we about to see another airline on the Moscow route?
Aeroflot have previously (August 2012) applied for the rights to serve MAN 7 times per week, and was granted.
Now, Aeroflot have announced they have gained the Manchester United sponsorship, which now adds a large advertising presence in both the city and hopefully Russia.
Also, when an airline sponsors a team, it usually flies to that teams city (Etihad/Man City/MAN, Delta/Chelsea/LHR, Monarch/Leeds/LBA and previously Turkish Airlines/Barcelona and Man United/MAN and BCN). Hopefully Aeroflot will follow the trend.
At the very least we will see a few charters for the team, but I for one certainly hope it leads to more.

An article in the 'times of India' states that Jet Airways would like to open a route to Manchester via Abu Dhabi. Good news, until you read that it is at least 2 years until it happens!

BAGSO you beat me to it,
On the positive side Jet did hold a joint press conference with Manchester few years back expressing their intent to serve MAN.
However a lots changed since then with alliances and partnerships even more dominant,
So can'tr see why Jet would do a service now that they can just feed through Abu Dhabi using Etihad ?

One thing to consider, this has actually come about DUE to the partnership with Etihad (hence the via Abu Dhabi out if all places).
It could work in 2 ways.
Joint venture means that it makes no difference to Jet or Etihad who the passenger uses to get to AUH (or indeed India). Its like the BA/AA/IB venture, all carriers get the same share of profit regardless of who carried them.
Therefore, if Jet ran DEL-AUH-MAN, both carriers get shared profit, Jet gets a visible presence at MAN and Etihad can use Jet as the 3rd, or hopefully by then, 4th daily flight into MAN without tying up their own aircraft.
Also, the 2nd point, AUH would be a scissor hub for Jet, so while the jet airways aircraft may fly MAN-AUH-DEL, the passengers have many options to travel to BOM etc, or use EY to get to MAN if the connections warrant.
