Covid restrictions will be with us for some time to come. Transit stops can add extra complications that can change at a moments notice. Point to point will become more attractive even if it comes at a premium.
But that group will all go on cheap fares with EK or transit via PIA/AI perhaps BA but not a minimally advertised new start route with VS unless offering loss making fares.

With T2X already complete and ready to be tested prior to official opening, is there any word from MAG/MAN management about testing the terminal with passengers?
There were rumours during the summer that it would be opening in March with testing to take place during Jan & Feb, but it's gone quiet lately. There would be more space to social distance within T2X compared to the current T1 & T3.
Appreciate any info...

Hello, hope you don’t mind me raising a question I’ve been thinking about during the past few months. Given COVID, Manchester has obviously seen a dramatic fall in activity, so much so that it’s second runway is now no longer used.
Do you think there’s a certain tipping point when activity increases to such a level that the airport will reopen the second runway? I ask this as if there’s a vaccine next year (fingers crossed), airport activity will start to rev back up - but the subsequent economic toll of the pandemic may mean activity is way behind pre covid levels, meaning 23L still isn’t needed. I’d just be interested to hear what others’ thoughts are on when that tipping point may be.

It won`t be a rev back but I think things will get worse before better and it will be a slow crawl for at least a year and it all depends on other countries as well.The vaccine if it comes will be targeted at first on vital staff and vunerable people, personally ask that question again in May next year.

Stand 11 has a long history of accommodating oddballs including Concorde/IL62/DC8series 61/63/747/Tristar and DC10

Combined with Omani’s own entry restrictions little wonder why Oman’s operations remain indefinitely suspended is it
This is the impetus for the Indian carrier uplift being experienced by Vistara and others including the Virgin services though even now there remains considerable difficulty in British Indians gaining the right to travel .
Quoting FCO
Travel to India is subject to entry restrictions
A limited number of flights are operating between the UK and India under a bilateral agreement but these are subject to strict eligibility criteria and details may change at short notice. You should check the relevant airline website for up to date information.
If you are eligible to travel to India you will need to quarantine after arrival.
Indeed the FCO web page actually still reports scheduled international flights remain suspended and that those operating are essentially scheduled charters !
FROM GOI site
its even more bureaucratic
Ill just post a link

A good rumour........just wondering why if the Irish part of IAG can do this then why can't the British part? Perhaps to do with EU ownership, the article suggests.

Back down to T1 again from wednesday, traffic has really slowed down with the latest restrictions. Although there seems to be an awful lot of "business people" travelling to ISB and LHE which made the majority of passengers travelling on EK, EY, QR, and the Hifly.

This was reported some weeks ago here.
Sadly Brexit may scupper it.
