WW
 
I don't recall this being reported previously but it would seem the MAD flight from MAN has been dropped in addition to various flights from BHX

Does anybody have any news on Air Sylhet? RingwayReports shows them as due today, although I don't think they even have planes yet do they? Not showing on the live arrivals & departures either.

You seem very certain of your list so I would ask
you to qualify if they are valid or just slot requests?

There will be nothing left of WW in about 6 months!!

Thanks to SMB!!

I think the cut back at BHX is due to pressure from Ryanair as once they start leaning on you with their muscle there can only be one outcome

MAD ex Manchester the way Baby was running it was never going to be a success with the business community

Baby fleet
 
Does this mean Baby keeping 4 rather than 5 aircraft for S09? Can't see a 5th unit if the others are going back...

BHX5DME 27th Nov 2008 12:13

WW will have 17 aircraft, so I guess

BHX - 5
EMA - 5
MAN - 4
CWL - 3

WW There needs to be 5 A/C at MAN based on current timetable even with the MAD being dropped.

re the question of flights /slots.

Can some confirm how this works please.

Airline wants to operate a flight and therefore applies for slots. If available it is presumably granted and is kept until is given back (because not required) or lost due to non use.

Where an airline already has a slot is using it and intends to continue using it does it have to re apply before each summer/winter period to retain it?

Aer Arann Cutbacks
 
Aer Arann are to pull off the Manchester to Kerry route from 12th January. From the same date frequency on the airline's routes from Manchester to both Galway and Waterford will be reduced from a Daily service to 5 times a week on each route (No services on Tuesday & Saturday).

Could some of these flight be coming to BLK along with DUB?

Ametyst1 28th Nov 2008 15:43

No, and Blackpool to Dublin has not been announced yet.

MUFC_fan 28th Nov 2008 16:01

Ryanair Rejects Heathrow and Manchester as "Best UK Airports"
 

Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline, today (1 Dec) rejected the awards given to London Heathrow Airport and Manchester Airport at the recent British Travel Awards.

Ryanair questioned how Heathrow Airport could be given the "Best UK Airport" award in the year in which it lost over 28,000 passengers' bags and forced the cancellation of over 700 flights as a result of the mismanagement of Terminal 5.

Ryanair also questioned the silver medal awarded to Manchester Airport which has suffered a significant fall in passenger traffic.

Speaking today, Ryanair's Head of Sales & Marketing Lesley Kane, said:
"How can Heathrow Airport and Manchester Airport be recognised as the Best UK Airports for 2008? In March this year, Heathrow Terminal 5 opened with the cancellation of over 700 flights and the loss of over 28,000 bags; clearly not the signs of an award-winning airport.


"The runner-up award went to Manchester Airport, an airport with declining passenger traffic and job losses on the horizon. Taking these facts into account, it's ludicrous to give Heathrow and Manchester any kind of award apart from booby prize!"
It would be nice to see which airport Ryanair thinks should have won the award.

Liverpool and Birmingham - when have they ever had probles with one of these airports over the last 12 months?

scrapy 1st Dec 2008 18:23

Another route cut?
 
Monarch seems to have quietly cut IBZ. No longer bookable but still on route map.

TartinTon 1st Dec 2008 22:44

Patience scrapy. All routes not necessarily on sale yet...by your logic Easyjet have cancelled all schedules from LGW for next summer :sad::sad::sad:
