For example AGS are listed as attending rather than Aberdeen, Glasgow and Southampton.

Isn't it true that the MAN route development team went during covid and STN now does both. God knows why.
It seems to me that MAN is run from STN and this may be to the detriment of MAN. Personally I would like to see MAG split up like BAA due to the anti competative nature of the setup.I think SAG is already here if not in name.

Can't see it mattering too much to them if it's not affecting the meetings they get agreed in advance with airlines through the booking system.

Yes, that was my understanding too of a slot booking system for appointments between airports and airlines, although I wasn't sure if that was done in advance. I expect Route Development teams also make use of informal chats outside the more formal proceedings. It may also be a useful forum and through networking to keep an eye on what the competition are doing..

Please tell me that both airports have their own teams !
If we are now saying there is a combined presence i can't help thinking they would "do an EMA....."!
"Well yes, you can of course go to Manchester, but we can offer you this if you come here to STN.....".
I doubt this happens BTW.
At least i bloody well hope not.

So many on pprune simply rely on pprune for all of their information.
Also, relying on the company website is useless as they are hardly updated on a regular basis.
Not long ago I suggested to someone here on pprune to search for photos under Google images. Low and behold it was totally news to them as they wasn't aware of it. "Unbelievable isn't it 😳 "

I'm sure supporters of Manchester want individual representation not possibly consolidation!
it seems odd not to be listed separately.
MAG has a dedicated route development team for Manchester Airport, based in MAN. A number of them are in World Routes in Istanbul this week.
Most airports which are part of a group are listed as part of the group or under one of the attending airports, which is a direct function of the increasingly rapacious charges that the event organisers expect airport participants to pay.
Does it matter? No. The majority of meetings taking place at Routes are requested by the airport attendees of the airlines. Very few - probably less than 10% - are where an airline wants to meet with an airport. So if you're part of ABC Airports and you're Airport B, you still request to see the airlines you have on your target list even if those might be different from those which your sister airports A and C wish to meet. It's pretty much irrelevant given the format of the event.

Flightrider provides a likely explanation as to why group airports are registered under 1 name: "Most airports which are part of a group are listed as part of the group or under one of the attending airports, which is a direct function of the increasingly rapacious charges that the event organisers expect airport participants to pay".
Why it was decided to do so under Stansted rather than MAG still seems slightly strange but the key fact is that MAN are there. Let's hope the meetings, relationships building, networking etc. prove fruitful.

Does anybody know what the steelwork being erected is for just to the left of stand 208 ?. I’ve not seen any plans for what it might be for and is not for the new pier as that is further along.
