Caught this tonight... hope you all enjoy |
That was useful for doing a days work at LGW, now I drive (from Stockport)! The train is a ridiculous price and 4 trains/3 connection, no discounts on Virgin if you want to travel early in the morning. Flying is expensive and return flights LGW-MAN are poor, latest is around 4pm departure which is too early if you have to do a days work at LGW MAN-LGW is just about included in the "4 hour or under by surface transport" policy at Easyjet however the commercial manager together with the guy who deals with the corportate travel contracts really wants to see MAN-LGW on the network and are pushing for it. |

....and the 4 x weekly ZB....could be interesting....

In other, more interesting news, MAG looks to be a sound investment:
Manchester Airports Group profits soar 26 per cent to £65.5m | Manchester Evening News - menmedia.co.uk However, I suggest it's the rise before the fall. Stansted is NOT a good buy. |
are the numbers right in thats article - i think not!
Passenger numbers were back up to 2010 levels, at 24 million, an increase of 6.7 per cent after they fell to 22.5m in 2010/11. |
Perhaps be a little mor specific which figures you think are incorrect.
|
I think you will find those figures are for the group not MAN on it`s own

Airlines that operated Man-London
Manx or BA Connect (I think before Eestern got the J41s and before Flybe took over BA Connect) did Man - London Stansted as I think did Air Berlin. Cityjects predecessor, VLM did Manchester - London City.
All gave up, probably due to lack of profit rather than being swallowed up by BA |

MAN-LCY would have faced competition from the railways and MAN-STN would be limited by the fact that STN is out of the way and not convenient for most. Both the above were point-to-point only. MAN-LHR (BA and BD) has the advantage of being both point-to-point and feeder routes for longhaul at one of the world's biggest hubs. Clearly operating at LHR has huge advantages, but it is also the most expensive (airport charges, slot acquisition costs, etc.). |
VS73 emergency
Ive just noticed that Flightradar is showing today's VS73 is squawking 7700....anyone know why? Manchester airport app is showing it due back at 1505, and it's currently flying over the Irish sea just west of Liverpool.

Diverted to Gatwick with a 'tech' problem.

MAN website has FR with 2 new routes this winter: Gdansk and Riga, both 2 weekly. Not on the FR website either as news or bookable destinations!

The London - Manchester point to point air travel market was trashed when Virgin introduced their faster trains and was finally finished off when they went to a 20 minute frequency on the route. |
I see that at the moment that a Virgin A330 is no longer based at MAN and it has gone back to 2X B747's. Does anyone know is this is permenant or temporary?

temporay whilst a/c on maintenance check.
