I am bored with EasyJet now!!!!

Other news:

First BMI to Antigua yesterday had 200+ load, that's pretty good for the first day, but I wonder how many business class seats were occupied?!


Las Vegas doing really well too! Average load 86pc, not bad either!

Maybe a new aircraft for us on its way...? With a new Asian route for next uear, too?? Hope so!


Who is going to handle Jet2 from this week? Did Globe get it?

gayrugbybloke

i belive menzies has the handling for the jet2 contract but don't quote me on it

even more handling agents for manchester ????? fantastic:bored: :sad: :E

rampman:ok:

Business seats selling like hot cakes on all caribbean routes, especially the barbados, :ok: bd have really landed on their feet with these routes!

Bet we'll see Barbados continue year round.....aren;t VS codesharing soon on these Carib routes with BD?

If BD did a LAX route it would do very well I think!

More Jet2 ?
 

Rumour is that there are more JET2 routes to be announced for Summer05 and they'll need more based a/c to cover the programme !:eek:

TCM

nah, vs not codesharing, yet:} , maybe we'll see the launch of a LAX route next year, fingers crossed. The caribbean and Vegas are year round already. More advertising and they would be packed to capacity everyday by those not wanting to go to LHR, but, that's another thread!

Jet2
 

What are the additional Jet2 routes planned? Any chance of Dublin or Brussels?

bmi are not codesharing - just carrying a lot of folks for Virgin Holidays!

Anne :O

when do the new Jet2 routes that TCM mentions go on sale?

is it true that Cardiff is one of them?

Delta to JFK
 

I hear that Delta are to start a daily MAN - JFK from 27th March 2005.

The first jet2 has just arrived at MAN, looking good, wearing -

jet2 MANCHESTER in huge letters down the a/c (G-CELI)

another is due soon, and both begin services tomorrow...

Did "LI" get the hose treatment...??

New JET2 routes from MAN
 

The rumour is that EDI and GLA will be announced soon.:ok:

TCM

I heard today thet Aeroflot are to take the slots vacated by Transaero's lack of services....

Three times a week Manchester to Moscow apparently....

Hi
I have heard that United are thinking about applying for SFO-MAN slots and Virgin want to start to Hong Kong and Los Angeles.
I think its great news if DL come back to operate to JFK.Anyone know what equipment it might be?
Thanks
Michael

Umm..Delta would probably serve JFK with a 767. It actually sounds quite plausible.

What are your sources on the United/Virgin rumour? I'd give the United a 15% prob and the Virgin 10%!!!

Hi
My uncle who is a pilot for bmi has been talking to pilots of both airlines whilst in LHR.
I dont think they are true myself but we will have to wait and see.
Thanks
Michael

I was the F/O that brought LI into MAN, we didn't get a hose down, but we did have some publicity photo's done in front of T2. LH followed us in a little later, I was told that this one got a free shower but I'd scarpered off home by then.

I don't think any more routes are planned from MAN for 05, the LGW and ALC were the last two that they said they were keeping under wraps, but we're usually the last to know any of the commercial goings on.

Gayrugbybloke / Rampman,

The front-of-house/dispatch for Jet2 is done by Manchester Handling, and ramp by Menzies.

Manchester Handling will also be handling Air Scandic, with RHSL doing their ramp.

Manchester Update
 

Jet2 have announced three tomes a day Amsterdam services from 10th February.

Air Jamaica have sadly announced they are to abandon their Manchester to Montego Bay abd Kingston service from January.

Re the Air Jamaica, whats up ? has the honeymoon cheap landing fees come to an end ?

So BWIA will be joining them shortly !!
