More than 2,000 workers are to receive a pay rise of up to 17% over two years after a deal was agreed between a union and an airport's operators.
Staff working in security, operations, firefighting, traffic and car parking at Manchester Airport will also receive a lump sum worth up to 9.6% and pension benefits, the Unite union said.

Whilst I myself have never worked at an airport I am aware that at least one of the other forum posters has worked at Manchester and not, before you say it, as a cleaner. I believe he held quite a high position at the airport.

EK have priority for the stand. I remember once when an EZY went tech on stand 12 and couldn’t be moved due to a hydraulic steering issue causing the EK A380 to go remote. The fallout from that event was akin to a major international incident !
The easy’s use steps on stand 12. Disembarking an A380 on 12 with steps is very difficult. The work was on the airbridges.
As EK funded the stand when they introduced the 380 to DXB-MAN, they do get priority there.

They often do bagso, they're stuffed for crews apparently. In the case of MAN-YYZ, they covered the route with a leased OMNI B767 which has now gone tech, they don't have the crews to offer service themselves this year. 2 more A330s just came on board alongside a new B787-9 with one more to come. Hopefully next year will be better.

Most passengers booking their trip to YYZ//return probably don't realise when they hand over the payment for their fare that will be travelling on an ageing aircraft normally used to carry military personnel !
