Hi
The Belavia finishes in August after a run of 9 weeks which is all that was planned

G-I-B

Does anyone know if Jet2 are going to operate a 757 from MAN this winter? Lso, with no Venice, Amsterdam, Valencia or Pisa, will an aircraft be lost to another location?

The only word I have seen on Jet2's 757 is that it is slated to operate the TFS flight which is 3 times a week I believe so highly unlikely to keep 2 aircraft busy.

There have been some rumours one will operate the LBA-AGP flights so guess there is room for more speculation.

On the subject of routes our of Manchester, as I have mentioned before they still mention Manchester - Amsterdam & Edinburgh as still to come for winter. Highly unlikely to do this I would have thought if they were dropping the routes, but still leaving things late too.

Pisa was always planned to end early October so one would guess it was planned as a Summer only route, guess we shall see if thats true if they bring it back next year.

There still seems to be gaps in the schedule will be interesting to see if they do move aircraft or plan more routes.

HavrHave unwanted slots for winter 05/06 now been handed back?

Jet2 really risk losing business traffic on EDI and AMS routes this winter if they don;t get the reservations open oon....

hi everybody,

just wondering were the expansion plans going to be, have they got the room for more gates

Expansion plans for who? The airport or the airlines?

I noticed the other night that one of the new "drive through" stands is now in use, only seems to be Jet 2 on it though, are they dedicated to Jet2 ??

the airport!!! and were are they going to accomodate the a380 here at man

Latest I've heard is that Westjet are planning an international expansion to the UK including Manchester. Apparently they are to get 757s for that task. Route would likely be YYZ-MAN.

Another one for ManchesterMan's list........ :E

Can anyone enlighten me into what happened with the Air Atlanta 747 - TF-ABA, this morning.

Was it suppose to take off from runway 24L or did the crew mess up and miss the fact the they had swapped departures onto 06L?

Does this happen often at Manchester?

Yes it does happen when there is very little wind and 06L for take off as it is up hill and if the aircraft is very heavy they sometimes opt for a 24L take off or a 06R
as Malasian did the other day

Extending manchester
 

Work has started extending T3 down to the Airport Pub to accomadate the A380 and they are extending T2 down to stand 219.

So I take it there will have to be some existing buildings demolished at T3 beyond gates 55 and 56? How many extra gates are there to be at Terminal3?

T3 Expansion
 

So does this mean that the airport authority has finally reached an agreement to buy the land occupied by Males Garage - I would be very surprised if that was the case, because they have been trying to do it for years without any success.

i didnt realise they are expanding on terminal 3!! i thought t3 was just for ba,

Scottie dog
The back of Males garage is bieng demolished as we speak.Alpha are moving out of there building and relocating over to West site.The airport own the road from T3 to the airport pub and sometime in the future that road will be no more.
Its quite possibe it will not be an extention of T3 but may become T4.

how can they build another terminal there? isnt their a big carpark on the other side of the road. cant see them getting rid off that carpark were would they put it?

love to see another terminal go up. that would be cool!

manchester hasnt got alot of land to expand really

How do you come to that conclusion? :confused:

it hasnt really!!! all the space to expand is occupied!
