Thanks Scottie that is very good
Turtle controller tut tut, what has to be done before a large building job, yes undergrowth and tree clearance so therefore building work is just about to begin on the biggest building job ever and the largest at an airport outside London.

Etihad using A340-600 from 21-31 May on EY21/22

[Dobbo_Dobbo]

Might be the last time we see Etihad bring that aircraft to MAN.

Is F for sale?

[LAX_LHR]

F is not for sale on the A340 flights (yet).

Iraqi Airways is now bookable all summer, previously was only bookable until next week. Same schedule continues.

[LAX_LHR]

Edit:

Etihad to upgrade EY21/22 from A330 to B77W from April for the summer period, except the following dates:

May 21-31st: A340-600 used
All of June: A330-200 used.

Nice to have some long haul upgrades again.

...plus with VS in-sourcing there are more redundancies to come with the current maintenance handler!

I heard today that four are to go. Is this true Spannersatcx?

Easyjet has started loading it's winter flights into GDS. things I've picked up on so far:

Granada: continues as a winter route 2 weekly

Las Palmas: returns at 2 weekly

Keflavik: increases to 9 weekly (U21805/6 is daily, U21807 2 weekly Tue/Sat). That makes MAN-KEF 18/19 weekly overall, impressive stuff!

Milan: seems to drop to 4 weekly but may be an error?

Hamburg: remains 11 weekly

Berlin: stays at 13 weekly

Palma: continues into winter for the first time, 2 weekly

Tenerife: goes 8 weekly it's 2 flights Fri.

Munich: 5 weekly (sure it was 4 this winter?)

Prague: daily

I can't see any new routes but that's because I can't search every destination to see if Easyjet have flights there.

PMI was operated in the Winter during its first year IIRC.

[lfc84]

i'd be grateful if someone could post the frequeny / days of operation of MAN-ACE W17 on U2.

[LAX_LHR]

Easyjet don't serve MAN-ACE, but I've sent a PM for the LPL flights for you.

Very sorry to hear that. Any chance of a few jumping ship to Virgin?

£345 return MAN-HOU in Sept & Oct on SQ359 !!

It seems the westbound PIA flights from LHE to JFK will continue to transit MAN beyond June.
I wonder what happened to the plan to substitute the MAN stopover with Leipzig ?

[CCGE29]

One of the PIA staff who lived in Germany has been arrested on corruption allegations.

In other news, it looks like KU have pushed the transit flight back to the 22nd April 2017.

One of the PIA staff who lived in Germany has been arrested on corruption allegations.

I expect that's the guy who recently sold a PIA A310 to the Leipzig aviation museum, but apparently "forgot" to get the approval of his bosses first.
Sometimes you just have to shake your head...
Maybe MAN can get one as well for the Visitor Park

[LAX_LHR]

Apparently the KU flight will continue to use SNN until 21st April, and then switch to MAN. This is to give KU enough time to get all GSA sorted at MAN.
