That would be amazing and a welcome antidote to the proliferation of eurowhite schemes around these days. Thread drift, but I remember a few years ago the late evening A320 shuttle from LHR to NCL called up on Newcastle Radar as 'Northeast 12T'. Thought I was imagining things but it turned out it was an ex-Northeast pilot's last flight before retiring. Nice touch.

Is the announcement not the cancellation of all flights from Manchester to HEATHROW prioritising European passengers needs over those from the North of England ?
Why not alternate the cancellations rather than this carte Blanche "scrub em all attitude".
Irony of irony, Heathrow appears to be operating normally
As at 7am.

Because UK regional passengers
a) can often use trains or surface transport whereas only Paris is easily accessible from the UK by train
b) you're a captive market and they prefer the longer distance cash flow
c) its easier to get everything back in place tomorrow in the UK

Not really mate... Outside London, if you're in any English or Welsh city other than Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds or Bradford, KLM are essentially your national airline. Don't know about Manchester or Leeds/Bradford, but from Newcastle, KLM tend to be cheaper to get to most places.
No need to remind me!
Just about any route to the UK is cheaper from Europe if you avoid LHR - and a LOT pleasanter!!!

And at least they actually ARE 100 years old this year..
Isn't KLM Air France anyway? At least, that's what it says on their aircraft:
Ship Photos, Container ships, tankers, cruise ships, bulkers, tugs etc
Yes OK but I was touching a bit of stand up humour - Throw in W1A, 2012 Ab Fab outnumbered and a sprinkle of League of Gentlemen - get my drift>?
Obviously I was wrong and folk didn't get it - my mistake -
Exits stage left
