Notice that MAN-ATL is 5 weekly for winter with Delta, is that a reduction over last year?

[Betablockeruk]

W12 DL64/65 was 5 weekly using a 763. Might be a slight increase if 332 retained on route (but I need another coffee to work that out)

[LAX_LHR]

B767 returns to MAN-ATL for the winter, A330-200 back from 1st April.

This winter's capacity is exactly the same as last winter.

For the American Carriers, its seems this winter is near enough exactly the same as last winter:

MAN-ATL 5 weekly B767 (as W12)
MAN-IAD 4 weekly B757 (as W12)
MAN-EWR 7 weekly B757 (as W12)
MAN-ORD 7 weekly (was 6 weekly W12 and B767 still expected to be used)
MAN-JFK 7 weekly B757 (as W12)
MAN-PHL 7 weekly A332 (was A333 W12)

Until the B767 for ORD is confirmed, it is a slight reduction of seats this winter compared to last, but, hopefully the ORD should be confirmed soon thus giving a slight increase of seats.

How is the ORD service a reduction in seats when an extra flight and operated by
B757 same as last winter?

Chaps

[LAX_LHR]

Chaps

Its because the extra weekly AA B757 brings in 352 seats per week, but, the downgrade of the US A330 looses 532 weekly seats, so, 180 seats less per week than last winter.

[chaps2011]

Sorry LAX thought you meant ORD only

I see EC-ISY (a 757) is parked at T1 this evening. Is it opening a charter or a sub-in for someone? Livery looks more private jet than wet-lease operator though.

[GrahamK]

Privilege Airlines, sub for someone presumably

[JonnyH]

It's operating some flights for Jet2.

Don't know why and don't know how long for but it has made a few flights for them in the last few days.

June pax up 3.8%

http://www.manchesterairport.co.uk/manweb.nsf/alldocs/B7499432988C8D9E80257BA5003EEED2/$File/June+13.pdf

ATM's up and Freight but only just.

I am bit surprised at this with so many airports reporting record June figures I just got this idea Manchester would be pushing a double digit increase with the extra easyjet and Ryanair based aircraft although it is clear that domestic and IT dragged it down.

[BHX5DME]

June 2013 was almost exactly the same as June 2008 pax wise

Their record June was 2,287,215 in 2006

I am bit surprised at this with so many airports reporting record June figures I just got this idea Manchester would be pushing a double digit increase with the extra easyjet and Ryanair based aircraft although it is clear that domestic and IT dragged it down.

Don't forget its all about size and perception. A 3.8% at MAN is equal to a much larger increase at a smaller airport, and in some cases, a 3.8% increase when you are at a +20 million level is much more than a 10% increase at a -4 million airport.

United airlines flight 101 to washington cancelled yet again, getting bit worried about this now as i fly this route in October and notice this is the second flight to be cancelled in the space of 2 weeks, does anyone know what the loads are like for this flight? could this be the reason for cancellations?.

[chaps2011]

I think due bad weather once again as there are a lot of bad storms in eastern states

Chaps

[StoneyBridge Radar]

Bad weather, crew in right place, aircraft in wrong place...

happens, unfortunately.

[KUEFC09]

Thanks guys, just a little paranoid.

I've heard Norwegian Air Shuttle have been doing well at LGW, especially on the competetive routes, so do you think that in the Future do you reckon they will open a base here in MAN

Strong rumours of a NAS B737 base coming to MAN. I also heard LGW is going from 3 based a/c in S13 to 8 for S14.
