I would have thought if you were starting or ending your journey at Manchester you would not get off the aircraft at Helsinki. It's just a stop on the way. Same as Ethiopian Airlines stopping at Brussels on the way to and from Manchester.

Talking of Ethiopian, could we ever see a few ‘non stop’ flights possibly, looks like the past few flights have been arriving around 40-50% load terminating at MAN (I’m not sure the quota of seats for ADD-BRU and ADD-MAN but if it is 50/50 then it seems to be doing well)

As for the quota between airports I wouldn't know what they are but I'd expect that Brussels would get the largest amount seats allocated to it.

Id expect BRU to have a larger percentage also as that is ‘non stop’ to ADD. I remember the time they brought the MAX into MAN. Apparently landed with less fuel than is required, so if that’s the case then I’d expect it not to be a 737MAX when they’re back and if the route becomes non stop.
Airline Route now saying Ethiopian will be all nonstop between MAN and ADD from 01st July. 4x weekly on B787-9

CX reporting a reduction in the MAN/HKG flights down to 2X weekly. Most CX routes are being drastically curtailed or cancelled until April, along with most other carriers operating to/from or within Asia.

Iberia plans to increase Manchester Madrid in Summer.
possibly using a unit from BHX as that service will terminate. Must confess I'm amazed BHX cannot fill a Madrid service a few times a week?

With Flybe going into administration, what do we think the impacts will be for MAN? It has lost two of its most prominent carriers in the last 7 months.
I should imagine a certain Irish airline will be licking their lips at the new available gate space at T3.
I also wonder if it will have any impacts on the VS growth plans at MAN.
It will also be interesting to see if any of their routes get picked up by the likes of Loganair or Eastern.

I think by far the biggest drain on any VS expansion is the collapse in demand. They pushed back the introduction of the Sao Paolo route from Heathrow for a start.
The Loganair booking engine gives numerous daily frequencies, but half have a LM2XXX flight number, appear shadow another flight, and are all default sold out. It seems the flights that stick will be four daily, approx morning, approx midday, approx late afternoon and an evening (certainly on the random Thursday I searched for). Flights are a bit more pricey than Flybe but not by much, and a better value proposition given you get luggage.

Who was handling Flybe at MAN? Used to work at Menzies when they had the contract which then went to Airline Services and back to Menzies. Guessing a lot of staff are going to be laid off there
