I would assume that it will only refuel as far as Moscow and then take on more fuel there....and possibly get a fuller clean in Russia too.....what do others think?

These rumours are all great but what are the actual likelyhood of them materialising?

Fingers crossed! By the way what ever happened to the new China route and long-standing Thai rumour??

New Cargo Terminal??
 

Thomas Cook_757-300

I see the question of a loco terminal has again raised its head.

When the original thread existed - that Vuelo (or somebody) deleted - there was talk of a new cargo terminal being buit. I think RampMan raised the topic. It was then discovered that the building work that he refered to was a new catering facility for Alpha, to replace the existing on by Terminal 3.

A very valid point was raised that the cargo bonding facility apparantly has to be located 'airside' in order to meet HMCE requirements - or something along those lines. On the basis of this, there is really no other location for the cargo terminal but where it is now.

I can not therefore see your comment having any validity, but I would be happy to be corrected.

Something on BBC1 NW Politics Show at 1230 about Manchester Airport.

Does anyone have any more info on BritishJet and its route to Malta?
Tried search on Google but didn`t find anything.

Dan :cool:

BOH-MAN
 

any one got any more inside goss/knowledge on possible daily bournemouth - manchester flights...

i know the slots applied for were used for LGW instead, but are there any time slots left for a daily hourly flight to start with?

Boh-bfs indicates they would eventually do it, but hopefully sooner rather than later.

Jet

Could this be the first of many an Easyjet has just diverted into Manchester with a problem and at present has blocked 24R

Oh well! nice to see them anyway and he is down and safe

Golf India Bravo

Try the following hypothesis....

easyJet to make a sneak suprise announcement at Manchester on Monday.

easyJet smuggle aircraft into Manchester in advance to give a backdrop for the press!!

Oh well. it was fun when I initially thought of it.

Most importantly the aircraft and all on board are fine and Manchester did not loose any inbounds due to the blocked runway.

IIt just so happens that an EZY jet has landed at MAN from AMS, having been unable to land at Liverpool!! Apparently......

Wonder if it will stay here for the announcement tomorrow.....??!!

had problem with slats needed longer runway thats it! nothing else sorry to disappoint you all:E

BACX Manchester Fishing trip
 

Tomorrow (Monday 6th) there is going to be a meeting on the Future Size and Shape of Manchester.

Any news, rumors, information welcome.

Maybee thats there plan, operate all flights ex Man with aircraft with slat problems.

Then the could just use the excuse for deserting Liverpool on the slats.

A cunning plan.

What a strange comment. Two things spring to mind:

1. If it was merely a slat problem then why was the runway (RWY24R) closed for a while afterwards?
2. Why should we disappointed with a safe outcome?:confused:

Here's guessing it won;t be taking off before tomorrow lunchtime!! Smile at the camera everyone!!!

At a guess, Bristol will shrink or even close. Southhampton might be in for 'a review' also.

Manchester will see MAN-LGW flown in part, if not completely, by BACX offering increased rotations and lower fares in response to the low cost challenges, EXS and EZY.

MAN - JFK pulled and AA take it over...?

MAN-JFK is a mainline route with a mainline a/c and flight crew. The only thing CX has to do with it is the cabin crew who are all the old BAR lot anyway (except for the odd one).

It is even checked in and dispatched by Mainline.

The decision on that route will lie at Waterside.

Not really true, the aircraft is owned and operated under BACX AOC, but you are right in that any decisions will be taken at WaterWorld.

The a/c is not owned by BACX , it is a mainline a/c under the BA aoc and the rumour is is that it is to be dusked in the near future

Since when have CX owned WH?

As said above it is a mainline aircraft and all 767's including WH are being dusked in 2005.

It is operated by mainline 757/767 pilots under FCO's section 2 on the BA AOC.

MAN-JFK existed long before BACX was even thought of and any decision on the route lies in London. This isn't my opinion but FACT.

If necessary BA will cabin crew it from WW LHR.

A few facts wouldn't go amiss before posting mate.
