Potentially a Poznan route from Ryanair tomorrow according to same source who told me about Kiev, but I'm not 100% sure on that given its a LPL route and Ryanair don't like to overlap on the 'smaller' routes.
Ryanair, Poland's No. 1 airline, today (16 Mar) announced a new Poznan base, its fifth in Poland, as it launched its biggest ever Poznan winter schedule (2017), with 1 based aircraft (an investment of $100m) and 7 new routes to Athens, Billund, Castellon, Eilat Ovda, Madrid, Oslo Torp and Tel Aviv, and extra flights to London Stansted (14 routes in total), which will deliver 500,000 customers p.a. and support 375* jobs at Poznan Airport.

Operating a twice daily AA B757 is perhaps intentionally running MAN down, in 2017/18 that's a fundamentally sub-par product in market. What's worse, the intention rather than aiming for a now more reliable B787-8 operation might be simply to palm it off to Big Airways. #beafraid
Stupid question (apologies!) When (and why) did they remove the last airbridges from the old B pier?

Flying MAN-HAM return in May with Eurowings. Had an e-mail to advise of a change to my service, but the only change is that the service is now operated by Air Berlin. Is this normal ? Not see ABB operating for EWG's before ?

Eurowings have taken on a host of Air Berlin A320s in crewed by Air Berlin and flown in full Eurowings colours.

It does provide VS with a great opportunity in a tough market to corner the top of the MAN-JFK market if they want to use the A330 year round.

Looks like the banned members who cheated their way back in have been banished again. Their posts have been removed and there hasn't been any mention of their favourite topics despite some recent developments. Hopefully, they won't reappear. Ever.

Anyway, work on Airport City is progressing well. As is the start on the TP with the Trees in Staff West now removed, certain areas now fenced off and trees around the PTOC now gone.
Has anyone got a confirmed date for the closure of Staff West? Was supposed to be early April but can't see this happening?

Turtle controller - if you have nothing constructive or useful to post then don't bother. If a certain thread is of no interest to you, then try simply not reading it. I have little interest in staff car parks too, but even less interest in pointless trolling.
