I remember when BHX was rumoured to be switching to Transavia France it was argued MAN was far too important to the network to change from mainline! With EDI going to Hop! I wonder what will happen to BHX?

JOON is The AirFrance union breaker operation, However all flights retain the same AF flight code and tickets are still sold with full connectivity beyond Paris.
All flights should be with the A320 with the same CY174 as mainline indeed they are the same aircraft that have regularly operated as mainline until recently.
As Joon aren’t getting any 319 or 318 capacity may actually increase with this move.
Its rather like Iberia Express being a virtual airline within an airline.
Quite a lot of the AirFrance European secondary routes not in the hands of Hop are likely to be transferred in the medium term it’s part of the plan to make AirFrance more profitable.

However AF don't have a low cost carrier such as Easy jet to compete against like Manchester has.
So also possible BHX will stay with mainline AF but only if it's profitable enough.

Manchester Statistics - August 2018 (Part 1)
Destinations that are either new (no passengers since my records started in January 2005), or have not been served for a number of years - if the latter then the month and year of the last service is shown.
One new destination was served in August 2018
Dallas/Fort Worth - 131 scheduled passengers. Not bad since we don't have a flight to Dallas, and definitely not one that carries scheduled passengers.
Million passenger routes (Rolling annual figures)
Amsterdam - 1,029,831 passengers
Dubai - 1,021,921 passengers
Two domestic statistics are currently missing from the CAA report for August.
Belfast City, Inverness, Jersey are yet to provide figures
Total passengers for these routes in 2017 were 39,498.
Moving monthly and annual figures - based on CAA statistics/MAG statistics

So you are honestly saying because of so called " human factors" it's acceptable to drive 100 yards with a man on a bonnet simply because the driver got annoyed about some charges ?
Well sorry, it isnt. I would describe anybody who supports such action as mentally ill.
We are going to hell in a hand cart.
And it is bollocksology!

There is nothing 'so called' about human factors. It is a well known science which airlines and other industries spend a fortune on to try and mitigate the effects. Look at any major accident, whether it be aviation, shipping or construction.
I did not say it is or was acceptable to drive a hundred yards with someone on your bonnet. Please do not put words in my mouth.
Where you go and the mode of transport you choose is your affair, I however, will be off to enjoy a bright future, preferably in something black, shiney and comfortable.

Actually looking back the labels for parts 2 and 3 look a bit funny as well. Part 3 talks about percentage change in the table and then doesn't report percentages. I believe gremlins may be in the works.

Enormously informative as ever. Small point, I think some of your labels may be the wrong way round - part 6 says major changes to domestic traffic, but lists a lot of international destinations. Is that supposed to label something else?

Mr A Tis, in your keenness to display more negativity, I hope you managed to read the last sentence of the article:
"A second video published this week shows baggage handlers taking extra care in handling passengers' luggage".
The situation reported can occur when bags are delivered very quickly (and yes it can happen), and/or there are delays at Border Control (that certainly happens at times), so that cases arrive before passengers. However, whereas airport staff are often on hand to manage queues at departures, my own experience is that there is usually no obvious sign of supervisory staff in arrivals. Perhaps someone can provide better information, but It's not readily apparent what coordination there is when delays occur at Border Control in terms of the delivery of bags - for example, are there enough carousels to enable a late switching if there is a build up on a particular carousel?

at MAN with plenty of interesting new routes and capacity increases. We must be the biggest hubs now outside of STN (for FR) and LGW (for EZY) if I'm not mistaken?

I would expect baggage handlers to take "extra care" at all times, along with everyone else who works in a safety-critical, customer-focussed enviornment such as aviation.
DomyDom, excellent news, more congestion and chaos on the horizon. EGCC seems an appropriate code for the place at present, doesn't it?

To put things in perspective, those 6 new routes add up to 12 additional departures a week, although 5 of those are on a Sunday. Also, most are with away based a/c or late departures so not adding to congestion with the early wave of departures. I understand there will be a second daily Belfast flight but haven't checked the timings.
