Manchester-2

[MAN2SIN2BKK2FRA]

Did I read correctly, 45million pounds to build the new BOH terminal? Just had a look on Google Earth and there has to be a . between the 4 and 5 and even that figure would be expensive

[ETOPS]

Looks like the first significant snowfall forecast this weekend. Upto 20cm over the early part of Sunday.
Good luck if you're working or travelling...

Thanks for the link, no way that cost 45million, someone was ripped off big time - I go with my original assessment of 4.5

[The96er]

Hopefully they might have serviced the de-ice trucks this year and will ensure that they are full of fuel and the all important de-ice fluid in time for Sunday morning!

That's called forward planning - How dare you suggest such a thing

What surprises me more than anything else about MAN is that why hasn't EL AL ever reinstated the TLV to MAN route as surely there must be the demand for it from the huge Jewish population in the Manchester and surrounding areas.

[roverman]

TLV

I believe that there has been lobbying from time to time from the Manchester Jewish community (fast growing) for EL AL to resume the service. There are some who will only travel LY due to the enhanced security on board, however since LY dropped it in 2000? the route has been well-served by LS, EZY and until recently MON. The latter's demise will surely prompt greater frequency from EZY and/or attract another carrier. Nice if LY were to return but I think less likely.

[easyflyer83]

.... and a large proportion of the Jewish community dislike El Al for a couple of specific reasons.

Cathay every day

CX219 on its way to MAN - the first Sunday flight for many years. Yes, it's daily non-stop at last! With that tantalising gap in the CX 216/219 flight numbers - does the story end here?

[Logohu]

MAN taking quite a few diversions this morning from BHX, LTN and STN which are all snow closed, including AF & EW A319s, Pegasus, Turkish and three Blue Air 737s, LH CRJ and several Ryanairs.

Is the NOTAM office closed for its Xmas party today ?!

[LAX_LHR]

And even more incredible considering 05L requires backtracking and thus more landing spacing due to taxiway work. Kudos to all the staff in the airport today.

Guess MON gone helps a lot but in fairness they have accepted a lot more this year than in 2016.

I can't imagine the numbering sequence is an accident...

[LAX_LHR]

Virgin Atlantic site now shows A330-200 on the bookings, and seat selection shows it will retain a full Air Berlin cabin during its initial March-May flights.

[Skipness One Echo]

Chaps you might be reading a tad too much into the Cathay flight numbers. It’s literally just gone daily after changing to a *smaller* aircraft. Great to see Cathay back but I’d want to see them defend what they’ve taken on, as a business, they see growth more in Dragon than mainline which continues to almost bleed brand new equipment to across KA.
They’ve really gone for it recently with a fifth LHR being joined by daily MAN and relaunching LGW. That’s a LOT of additional capacity.

[Mr A Tis]

CX. Not to mention a new DUB service. I am pretty sure I've read very recently that CX were going to 10 weekly from Dec 2018 with the 3 extra services arriving 1715 & departing 2015, however, I haven't seen that from a direct source (yet). I'll be in HKG later this week- so maybe I can find a source over there (?)

[LAX_LHR]

The 11 weekly flights start 6th November with evening flights Tue/Thu/Fri/Sat.
