Great to see the vast scale of this. I often think certain opportunities may have been missed (eg if the terminal has been made smaller when it would cost relatively little to have extra size for future proofing) but only time will tell - certainly I am not best placed to decide this!
For now, the new T2 is likely to be far better than anything there currently, and I hope it causes existing and new airline customers to increase and add MAN services to take advantage of the new and improved facilities.

CH Aviation reporting Bangladesh Biman are to receive four 788's and Manchester will start later in the year.
Is this a credible report?
No doubt there is a market for such a route.

Least if it is a transit route, will be a new route one way and additional capacity the other. Much like the Singapore switch from MUC to MAN, i personally believe these are win win,
Getting 2 routes for the price of 1, while also bring a new airline. Just depends what times they're looking at

The SQ change came about from them dropping Moscow on the Singapore Houston v Moscow route. We benefited from the Russian economy slow down and I guess talking to fellow passengers on the Man - Houston section, a drop in oil exploration by US companies in Russia, possibly due to sanctions. What ever it took it has made my life very easy on a recent project, and I would recommend it as a route into SW USA or even Central America.

Which other airlines are set to follow? They've recently lost American and Aurigny so not great for them. Although heard Stobart may take over Flybe and get that contract back from AS.

I’ve heard that Stobart are to buy out Airline Services, they are on the market at the minute, as they were struggling after Monarch went bust and we’re very close to ceasing them selves.
I am also led to believe that Easyjet are looking for a new contract holder at MAN. Possible Stobart after they took over the STN contract

I think Menzies have signed an IAG contract with Menzies which covers MAN/GLA/EDI/ABZ and DUB. I stand to be corrected though. The relationship between BA and Swissport is still somewhat sour after the Gatwick fiasco a few years ago.

Yeah I did hear this, but as a whole Menzies are falling to pieces I’ve heard of the same story at MAN, LGW, EDI and even IOM now struggling. I think they’ve gone on a path of which they will struggle to cope with, the only place I hear good things about Menzies is LHR.
