Actually not really relevant to either as I think it is aimed at DUB as
a main with possibly LGW but as there are very few LGW FR flights
DUB is the most likely gain with all their long haul to the states

Manchester Airport records busiest July in its 77-year history - Manchester Evening News
An upbeat story, but if Emirates really did only carry 38,000 pax on MAN flights, it would be the worst month for years! I suspect that may be the number of departing passengers and exclude arrivals, but who knows.

Seems to be mostly F100 to begin with, not many F70 dates at all.
The fleet is being retired, so, there is a gradual change to the emb, with Manchester being in the 2nd batch of changes. First batch is January, then April, then July/August.

Well let's remember at MAN, there are soon to be lots of terminal moves, with T1 eventually closing.
AA, IB and BA will be moving to T2, so, one would assume Vueling could head over there with them.
KL, ADR and AF will also be going to T2.
T3 is going to be pretty much Flybe, Aurigny, Ryanair and Jet2 exclusive going by reported requests from them.

Also I assume Monarch, Thomson & Virgin Atlantic will be still T2 once it's complete?
QR023/024 becomes QR045/046 from 25OCT15.

Must confess I would only see the RYR deal as an opportunity re MAN if we had hordes of RYR arriving between 7 and 10.
If only we had that kind of connectivity!
This to me appears to be a masterplan for Dublin !!!
If it's not a MAJOR competitive threat I do not know what is !

Having lost out to IAG in acquiring EI, it is perhaps not too surprising if MOL is serious about the feeder concept. If it happens, it would certainly appear to enhance DUB as a competitor to MAN. However, what capacity constraints are there now at DUB in terms of terminals and runway? It must be be pretty busy early morning with based a/c and then after the first wave of arrivals.
It could put US pre-clearance at MAN higher up the priority list. Incidentally, has there been any feedback from the visit by US personnel a couple of weeks ago in that regard?

Excellent link Bagso. The article includes a very interesting and important section on MAN and why it is so keen to get US p/c. with the threat from other airports, notably DUB.

Re: Etihad - Yes, I have had a couple of emails from Etihad this last week advising me of seat change / slight flight duration changes for bookings already made for January, so makes sense now with an aircraft type swap.

Is the aircraft based all week at MAN, which presumably would mean a few other destinations?

Stats for July show that Cathay Pacific could only muster up a measly 96.1% load factor!
Also, our Turkish Airlines flights are now fast approaching the LGW figures, may overtake them for August.

CAA Provisional July Stats.
Yes, a remarkable result for CX with an average load of 327 out of 340 seats.
Other average loads (a/l) for long haul routes going East (without knowing the exact mix of a/c for EY, QR and SV, I've not tried to estimate LFs):
SQ a/l 180 (up 12% on July'14)
SV a/l 245 (up 46%)
EK a/l 396 (up 10%) and I reckon a LF of 85.2%
EY a/l 349 (up 5%)
QR a/l 223 (up 26%)
The US picture is mixed and I'll post those figures separately, but if anyone knows the number of cancellations, notably for AA 210/211 or AA 54/55, it would help. I had 1 cancellation noted for UA 80/81.
