That's a lot of seats on an A330! According to the Hi Fly website it does have a small J cabin. If I recall correctly the plan last time was to sell the J seats as 'extra leg room plus' for an extra £50 per sector. Let's hope they do that again as that's a bargain for angle flats on the longer sectors.

It also doesn't have anywhere near 387 seats! a quick count of what's showing comes to circa 321 seats.

Website updated recently, and shows some new renders of internal areas on the home page.
Looks pretty good.

Ryanair will launch Berlin on 2nd September instead of 1st November due to strong forward sales.

British Airways add a 3rd daily Billund on Thu from next month. Can't remember if reported or not.

SQ A350 from 1 Feb?
I've seen suggestions elsewhere that SQ have begun to block off F class sales on routes that are moving to A350 service...
And now it looks like MAN's F cabin is blocked off for travel from 1 Feb.
MUC is also showing the same, so it doesn't look like any possible A350 service coincides with de-linking MAN and MUC.
UPDATE: Actually F class is blocked out 3 times a week for Feb, and still bookable the other 4 days. Blocked out every day starting 1 March

A350 is not due until W17, at the earliest.
No, February 2017 is the end of W16. October 2017 is the start of W17.
But you knew that.

Manchester business news and reviews from the Manchester Evening News team.
I don't want to sound churlish but do we think we are going to see some building North Side anytime soon ?
I'm pretty sure filling warehousing around Manchester Airport is straightforward but my goodness building to the North is at a glacial pace......
Plans formulated 2012 fine.
New CEO fine.
New team 2012 fine
Earthworks. ..ok
Good grief we are nearly 5 years on !
Yes I appreciate all the land needs buying up, yes all the earthworks need putting in place but surely to God we must be near the stage where something , anything actually gets built ?
I cannot believe MEN are sucked into a puff piece about what MAG are "going to do" without at least a raised eyebrow about when we might see some actual buildings going up.

I thought the first thing was to fill the property down Aviatator Way which has now been done
and then on to the new projects which are the next but will involve all the utility work

I think the flybe one is staying as it's still in use, it will be the ones behind that currently house airport veichles.
This car park *should* then allow staff west to be closed and the apron expansion begin.

I'm confused. I know the Airport gained planning permission last year for a new meet and greet car park and new bussing facility ( to replace the current one to the west of T2) and this is what I thought construction had started on. I didn't think any of the hangars were affected by this or is this something new.

Viscount,
The meet and greet has begun construction, and is quite a large site.
I assume this is demolition of the old hangars to build more staff parking. I'm sure I read this doesn't require planning permissions due to being covered by permitted development?
