Champions League charters.

They have two to DUB and also EI have one to same place and I think FR's 22.25 is a normal service?

Any one heard the rumour EL AL are returning to MAN later this year?
Heard the rumour but it was wrong.

From thejc.com




El Al has also confirmed it has no plans to resume flights from Manchester to Tel Aviv in the near future.

Manchester’s local Jewish paper claimed last week that the airline was set to resume operations from Manchester “as early as June”. The claim followed a visit to Manchester Airport last week by Mr Danor and El Al staff.

But a spokesman for the airline said the situation remained as it was since El Al discontinued direct flights in 2001. He said the recent visit to Manchester Airport was “part of an ongoing review of El Al’s UK operations”.

Fresh interest in the route was sparked by the decision of Thomsonfly to discontinue flights between Manchester and Tel Aviv after Passover.

However, Jet2.com, the regional, low-cost airline, is to begin flights between Manchester and Tel Aviv from May.

“It is true we would like to return to flying to Tel Aviv from Manchester, but we have to be sure that it is viable to do so in the long term,” Mr Danor said this week.

This could prove to be interesting for MAN. EZY have been desperate to put more aircraft into MAN for ages (admittedly this was before the economy went t*ts up) but have been prevented by a contract signed with peel holdings. Initially the contract stopped EZY from basing aircraft anywhere other than LPL in the north west and now limits the numbers at MAN. With Babys victory against peel could this set a president and could we see more expansion at MAN for EZY??

With the credit crunch, people will find it harder to get credit cards to put their "bucket and spade" or "lager lout stag-do" holidays on. Businesses will cut back on travel budgets.

Airlines will cancel and consolidate services due to reduced demand. Airports will have to fight for what little traffic is left by <shouts loudly so MAPLC can hear me> improving customer service and reducing costs.

What a load of clap trap!

rkenyon 1st May 2009 20:13

Not clap trap at all. With the Euro virtually at a par with the pound, it's a hell of a lot more expensive to go on European holidays. Even worse with the financial uncertainty people are feeling at the moment.

Was stopped twice the other day...in the nice new area outside the ground floor lifts...[T1 arrivals]
Q1, "How di I get to arrivals?"
Q2, "How do I get to the bus/taxis" [ongoing]
Nice bright area, nice staff shop NO signs for the poor pax.
At least the "space heaters" have gone

QF to Syd?
 
QF tt showing QF2 routed LHR-MAN-BKK-SYD from 24th May on Sundays only, but not bookable either direct or through any other sources. Is this just a complete mis-print, or is there some intention to start such a service?

Don't think this has anything to do with the LHR-MAN 'shuttle'/slots issue of a while back, but can hardly see this as a way to promote a more direct link from MAN as the return is to LHR only.

Confused!

Shed-on-a-Pole 2nd May 2009 01:35

jabird,

The QF flight which you have come across is due to operate on one date only. Unfortunately, it is a pre-planned one-off arrangement and is not the start of a regular scheduled service. Presumably there is a significant group booking influencing the operation of this particular departure.

At least MAN is still in QF's thoughts - just!

All the best. SHED.

Shed-on-a-Pole 2nd May 2009 02:20

compton3bravo,

It is telling that your response to Momentary Lapse's posting contains no evidence or argument to support your contemptuous dismissal of the point of view expressed. If you must condemn other's postings as "clap trap", at least have the integrity to state your reasoned case for so doing.

I suggest to you that the trends identified by ML in the 17:58 posting are not only spot on looking ahead, but are already verifiable in the statistical breakdowns released by MAG for the early months of 2009. And if they do not convince you, take a look at recent business updates published by numerous airlines and tour operators.

ML will be the first to tell you that [he/she] and I have had some differences of opinion on these threads in the past. But when that situation arises, both parties respond with reasoned exchanges and debate - not one-liner insults. That is what makes discussion boards compelling and informative, and builds respect between contributors. We all sometimes have to agree to disagree, but hopefully reasoned debate supported by facts and ideas can help us all to understand the subject better.

I'm afraid "what a load of clap trap" is not a great contribution to the finer understanding of this particular issue. Perhaps you could undertake to respond to ML's gloomy economic forecast with your reasons for taking a contrary view. Now that would be worth reading.

Cheers, SHED.

Jabird,
The QF flight operated last May (2008) as well. One off departure, so possible the same group going. Info in plane mad about the flight.

Biman do plan to return to MAN, but not until they have taken delivery of 777 / 787 aircraft which wont be for sometime, the only reason they dropped the MAN route was that they couldn't operate a schedule with the aging DC-10s which were regularly 12hr+ late.

Biman might well take those Four most aged and cycle expended machines of CX and SQ however i actually expect the 787 order to be delayed/deferred and then canx- They have NO money !
Biman supposedly taking 2 of the currently being decomissioned SQ 772's:

QUOTE >> With the Euro virtually at a par with the pound, it's a hell of a lot more expensive to go on European holidays.

As of last week, the currency exchange in T1 ( - that big one immediately on your right post-security) wanted £106.70 for 100EUR, I kid you not. They are about 10 quid more expensive than the one a bit further on (just before Duty Free.)

That should really tempt the holidaymakers. Maybe MAN plc should have a word with that crowd.

EK A380 to visit...?? anyone else heard this date??

GavinC 6th May 2009 14:47

I'm away on that date!! Would love to see the A380 at MAN. Perhaps a promotional visit? You would think that the local media would have this covered if it happened. It was all of the media when the A380 did a fly past!!

Can anyone shed any light on the Jet2 MANMJV schedules during the week?
They show a 0740 dep but I always thought that MJV airport was shut until 1300gmt Mon-Fri as the military used it? :confused:

Specially arranged opening windows to permit the earlier schedule:ok:. Only prob is that they sometimes just close the window with very little notice:mad: and delays have occurred due to this:{.
