Drove past a few days ago, what are the two new buildings opposite the Radisson Hotel?

Yes, there was an apology on the MAN website dated 17 May, so 2 weeks tomorrow at least.
Not very impressive to put it mildly.

I think it's probably these 2 hotels you are referring to.

Wideroe are also reported to be starting flights from Bergen from the end of October, at the expense of the previous Liverpool service.

On a theme why on earth does Manchester have no quarantine hotels ?

Is this a MAG decision or Government?

There are no quarantine hotels because MAN isn't a designated port of entry for anyone requiring hotel quarantine. Anyone who is required to quarantine but arrives on a flight at MAN is liable to a stiff financial penalty (as is the airline).

I don't know what the decision making process was that led to MAN not being designated, but I suspect the government wanted to keep the number of ports as small as practicable.

I was told that MAN refused to participate in offering a red terminal bot sure about a red hotel but the two things do go hand-in-hand.
EK operated to BHX today with a inbound load and parked on red terminal here.
Lots of additional flight due next week.

I would assume the aircraft is operating empty (with cargo) inbound, and only carrying passengers on the outbound.

Having walked past the Radison hotel a few times, I've noticed what appears to be, I guess, customers exercising in a taped of area of the car park watched over by people in Hi-viz vests. I'm not sure if this is anyway connected, but does seem strange.

Quote..."but does seem strange".
Not necessarily... STN has two Government designated "red" hotels on the estate with at least one partly in use but is not a red entry point either.

That isn't confirmed as so. The Liverpool service operates primarily for LFC fans from Norway. Too early to say this will not return when things improve.

interesting - I hadn’t really paid any attention to where the hotels are, so was taking the comment above about there being none in Manchester as fact. However a search shows the Copthorne on Salford Quays as being one, so seems likely the Radisson is also one based on what you’ve said.

As per web site today 15/6

If you’re required to quarantine in a managed quarantine hotel you can only arrive in England at certain ports of entry. Currently these are:
  • Heathrow Airport
  • Gatwick Airport
  • London City Airport
  • Birmingham Airport
  • Bristol Airport
  • Farnborough Airport
  • Biggin Hill Airport

What on earth are MAG Management doing about this?

Not caring, I would guess. It’s a tiny and temporary market. I suspect it might not be worth their effort, plus they can’t force any local hotels to become quarantine compounds.

I’m sure their time would be better spent on trying to mange relationships with airlines to restart meaningful operations when they are able to.

Indeed, nightstopping too. Three times per week.
