Ryanair, Europe’s and now Manchester’s No.1 airline, today (29th Oct) announced as part of its largest ever Winter schedule at Manchester, a new route from Manchester to Cork, operating twice daily from 15th December. This new route is part of Ryanair’s massive Winter 2021/22 schedule at Manchester, delivering over 650 weekly flights to over 72 destinations
The second 321LR originally due in MAN has been re-allocated to SNN. Currently 321s are scheduled on a few former A330 routes in DUB (YYZ, EWR, IAD for example). If demand warrants A330s on these routes again then that’ll free up the 321s for the likes of DUB-BDL and MAN-BOS again. No more LRs due, the XLRs start arriving in 2023.

Where's the slack then in a tech situation in Manchester? Having booked MAN-JFK for Jan, times have been changed several times already and I'm half expecting them to route me through Dublin nearer the time.
Yet to be convinced by this Manchester schedule and it's longevity now.

They can lease in an EI reg airframe to cover tech issues if required, it would be EUK crew flying it until the G reg airframe could be returned to service.
Current schedules only show 1 A330 based in MAN for summer to operate daily MCO. Seeing as there's already 2 A333s on the G reg and both are based in MAN today that seems odd.
There's 15 A330s in the fleet and the current summer schedule only accounts for 10 of them so maybe there's more to come. All 321LRs are fully utilised in the current schedule.

Any word on when T3 will re-open? With Ryanair increasing flights and based aircraft, it’s inevitable that eventually there will be a justification to re-open again…
The Ryanair and easyJet domestic/CTA arrivals facility in T1 is not fit for purpose! I witnessed yesterday an Aer Lingus A320 from Dublin and Ryanair 737 from Knock arriving at the same time and some of the coaches full of passengers were waiting 10-15 mins opposite stands 22/24 due to not enough room for more than 1/2 coach at same time dropping off passengers at the domestic/CTA arrivals area

Hi how many more aircraft are Ryanair basing? I flew through Manchester the other week and it took me over an hour to get through security in T1. The queue was backing up into the check in hall.

I believe this is due to a shortage of security staff. MAG let too many people leave/go in my opinion. Not enough staff available now…difficult to estimate for businesses when to bring back staff and how many, I appreciate this, but there really is a shortfall right now. I only hope it’s improved by next March when the summer schedules kick in!
When has MAN every adequately staffed their security? When I passed through T2 recently, there was only one lane open & that included Fast track despite plenty of pax.
I'm due soon to take a 45 min domestic flight out of T1, is it acceptable to queue an hour for security for a 45 minute flight? Just adds to the misery of flying these days. Keep up these experiences and more and more will say....why bother.

Yes I agree ref not adequately staffing security in the past in all three terminals.
It’s the sheer number of Ryanair and Easyjet flights departing very close together which doesn’t help, however, no excuses as MAG should ensure adequate security staff are available!
When T3 reopens, I hope more security personnel are hired for the increase in next year’s Ryanair flights…
