MANCHESTER 1
Is any of this utter drivel actually relevant to the airlines, airports and routes thread in which it finds itself?
And by the way, the new Thomas Cook flying seems to have disappeared just as quickly as it appeared on their website.

The Manchester thread has a history of being binned for going waaaaaaay off topic, surely this is fine for Jet Blast - PPRuNe Forums but killing the vibe of what is often, a very good read.
btw In the analysis business you can't "use stats to prove anything" to an intelligent and informed audience. One needs to be very wary of selective stats out of context. Anyway back on topic.....
When is Saudia moving to a B787 operation at MAN?

Don't forget that none of the regular contributors force you to read the "utter drivel" written on here. You do so by your own volition. So if you don't want to read it that's fine, but others find it of interest. Live and let live. Or maybe we should just consign the MD of Manchester Airport and his conference address to Jet Blast as well!??? Some in London would like that very much. Skip - where are you again? ;-)
By the way, excellent article linked in post 4344 above. Thanks eye2eye5.

Ken O Toole MD of Manchester Airport airport has just had massive exposure Live on Sky News outlining the points referenced here and we have some posters with the temerity to say it's not relevant to this thread!

This is possibly THEE biggest story in years !
Not since Gil Thompson have we had such exposure
I'm incredulous!
But well done KOT utterly brilliant !!!!!!

Comparative to other UK regions the North West gets more public spending on transport than any other region (with the exception of London), let's indeed hope it's re-balanced fairly.
The MD of any airport, whether it be Manchester or Gloucester / Staverton (no offence intended, I use it as an example) is a local business leader who is entitled to make an active contribution to the area which his or her airport serves. That such comment warrants a page and a half of self-serving, facile drivel about comparative IRR and NPV of investments in the south versus the north on here is to the wider detriment of any sensible real-world debate about your airport.
I'd be more worried if I were you about why your local airline has pulled its expansion plans for S17 from the public domain less than 24 hours after releasing them! I note that this hasn't even merited a mention, but guess that contributors to this thread are only allowed to report good news. Certainly seems that way, judging by the literary assault by PM I received from one of the regular contributors to this thread after posting some factual information a wee while ago which didn't accord with that day's version of Pravda.
Still, feel free to carry on, as no doubt you will anyway.

Worth noting is the ample remote parking, the lack of check in desks, nice glass facade. It's got the potential to be something great. I'm impressed

Doubting Thomas?
Spoke to a TCX (MT) pilot friend today - SFO etc is happening next year. They are heavily committed to the MAN long-haul strategy now, having nearly walked away from long-haul altogether three years ago. They seem to be gaining some market traction - the MAN-USA services are being boosted by Lufthansa feed from Germany in the tie-up with Condor (strange but true) and by Flybe within the UK. Now looking to acquire more A330s. On the downside, the arrangement with Condor probably means no direct MT flights from MAN going East to the likes of BKK or India, that's Condor country from FRA. Enter The Dragon.

The biggest hurdle for both TCX and TOM going East is more likely to be the MEB3 rather than each other (or Condor), since EK/EY/QR are particularly strong to destinations such as BKK, Phuket, Bali etc via their ME hubs.

You could see the as envisaged T2 airbridges make a 90degree left hand turn to run parallel to the runway for the LoCo carriers who could have a dedicated terminal space.

I think the idea is that MAN has the new bussing 'pier' ready early to give a lot of stand capacity whilst the others are being built (presumably, one by one).
I don't believe there is a T1/T3 detailed plan as yet. The industry evolves too quickly to need a plan for it all. At the moment, the plan is to get as many airlines as possible into T2 and then look to see what is needed in more detail in 10-15 years time I would have thought.

I think Ethiopia posts the news to promote their own blog/site, so, probably knew the news had been posted already.
In terms of T3, one of the video blurbs to accompany the fly through showed Brad Miller and he clearly said 'T3 will also be enlarged', so, it's probably to be released at a later date.
MAG still confident that the main build (in terms of the actual start of the T2 TP) will be starting next month.

Ooh, steady on LAX, no construction contracts let yet, bidding still in progress via OJEU processes. Winning bidder likely to be chosen in May and construction to start in the Autumn.
