Wizzair and Jet2
 

Heard a rumour at work that Wizzair are to announce 14 weekly flights to/from MAN soon. Not sure which terminal they would fit into, T2 would be too busy first thing perhaps....speaking of a busy, could Jet2 be moving to T2? A few of their staff have been spotted in T2 quite a bit recently (not sure where they would fit in though).

How could you tell they worked for Jet2?

Not too difficult to miss their staff, they are in a red uniform, usually a fleece and all have Jet2 lanyards.

Those fluorescent bright yellow Jet 2 vests are just too much of a giveaway.... ;)

Exactly my point. If they were in uniform then it probably has nothing to do with any early stage view of moving terminals. You are much more likely to see suited and booted personnel.

I know what you are trying to say easyflyer83, they weren't in the uniform worn by a Passenger Service Agent but it was certainly a manager of some description within Jet2.

The Wizzair Rumour sounds really interesting but I can't see Jet2 moving to T2. If they did T1 will be very quiet and I don't think there is any room in T2 since Monarch have moved there

Indeed MKY661, I suspect Wizzair to go into T1 possibly T3. There isn't any room for Jet2 and if they even wanted to use Ground Level Check-in that would be difficult considering Monarch use them desks for all the charter flights.

Unless someone like TOM want to move to T1 but obviously cannot see that happening. When I first heard about Monarch moving to T2 I did actually think that will there be enough room for them? I think Wizzair will be T1 as well.

Does anyone know what terminal Aeroflot will be in? Ive heard its T2.

Read elsewhere that Virgin are soon to announce LHR to MAN service using A319's. I think it was mentioned in a Guardian article since removed due to a news embargo.

VS to launch MAN-LHR from March 2013, A319s
 

Temporarily withdrawn story in today's Guardian online, apparently

Re the story suggesting VS to launch MAN-LHR flights.

Not sure it does much to promote more long haul VS flights from MAN if VS want to fly domestics from their to connect to their flts from LHR ? :(

Now if that happens can't help but feel it is Branson's response to the end of his rail franchise. Publicity + hoping for a bit of loyalty from his soon to be ex-passengers. May be able to offer some reasonable London fares compared to First on their peak trains, but pretty useless if your destination is the City.

Also, where would these slots come from, I thought BA were only obliged to give up ones for Edinburgh and Aberdeen.

BKS, EDI and ABZ have been mentioned the link below..

Sounds like they are serious:
BBC News - Virgin Atlantic to fly between Heathrow and Manchester

(Just to re-open the can of worms) Perhaps SMB should have teamed up with SRB!

Just seen it all over BBC news 24
