I'd never seen the word sortation before it appeared in earlier posts. Much worse than deplane.

While I agree that what Scotland needs is a single, central belt airport, I dont think it would make much difference here. The main market for this flight is inbound Chinese tourists, many of which tend to book as part of a package tour. What airport they fly in to is irrelevant - as they'll be boarding a pre-booked bus and will be whisked off to the first of their many destinations - probably Edinburgh to start anyway, then on to other destinations around Scotland.
Any business travel, or Scottish tourists heading to Beijing will just be a happy extra, but certainly not the main market for this flight. As such, I don't think a single central airport would make much difference in this case. As for the United / Delta examples - i'm not convinced. Look at Manchester, with its much larger catchment, yet it's still narrowbody central to the US. With the exception of the United flight which upgraded this year, it's all 757s. These aircraft are perfect for operating flights to the UK, freeing up widebodies for flights further in to Europe. it's A330 and 747 to Atlanta and New York in combinations and A330 to the remaining airports of Boston, Las Vegas and LA. |
MANCHESTER has just two US carrier operated flights a day since Delta seceded Atlanta and JFK to their UK branch with a mix of A332 AND 744 aircraft . UNITED are operating daily Newark on a refurbished 763 at the moment whilst American have canned JFK (an ongoing process from them in dehubbing New York to focus on a very few major O&D markets) and as of this month reduced capacity on their remaining Philadelphia daily having switched to a now rather old and on its last legs 763 operation though the summer. It’s supposed to switch to a 788 Dreamliner later in the year however I await with baited breath as these are in short supply and mostly at Chicago right now. |

Cathay Pacific HKG to stay A350-1000 Year round instead of reducing to W19/20 A350-900 |
I`ve noticed that they keep slipping the odd A350X already not June as they said as there is one in today
|
Crew need to man the doors if refuelling so it's just easier to get them all off. |

Just looked at flights on Ryanair to Frankfurt and unfortunately it appears like they will end the route from October.

No Fuel !
Lots of MAN flights diverting to BHX :-)

Report here from the local rag
https://www.manchestereveningnews.co...rport-16299154 Suggested elsewhere that a power surge has disabled some or all of the fuelling system |

What about the other way around? For e.g. the Ethiopian Addis - Brussels - Manchester flight. Do passengers exit, clear security and re-board in Brussels?

Icelandair will be using a Q400 of Air Iceland instead of the usual 757 for the next couple of days
|
I have just flown Prague - Brussels-Manchester thanks to last nights slight problem, I didn't have to go through security at Brussels between flights.

The DfT here in the UK stipulate that everyone on an aircraft departing the UK must clear UK security. Hence the transiting SQ pax disembarking and clear security before re-boarding. If, for example, the SQ routes MAN-LHR-SIN then passengers wouldn't need to clear security in LHR because they have already been subjected to the UK security process. For those of you who connect with BA from MAN through LHR T5 you'll know that you don't clear security again because you cleared it in MAN. If you transfer to another LHR terminal you clear security again but presumably that is because you fall into the channel of other transferring pax from destinations outside the UK.
Within Europe there isn't always that stipulation and that is why in the parts of many European airports that service European flights, arriving and departing passengers mix. |
