Still showing end of March until the 11 May as the A319. I know you can never trust aircraft types for AY/AF/LH/LX as they change all the time but I thought it might be more permanent. Obviously a bit of interest down here as it is probably BHX's best chance of a new full service airline. |

As well as EZY we also have new entrant Air Arabia Maroc on MAN-AGA. With FR joining in this starts to feel a little crowded for what must be a thin-ish route. I fear casualties. People have a habit of leaving the room when Mr. O'Leary enters, but having said that TAP and Iberia haven't blinked on MAN-LIS and MAD, respectively, with respect.
|
Apparently Air Arabia have bigger plans for MAN, with 2-3 new routes. A public notice board in T1 also states more routes to come too.
|
Their pax figures are pretty dire though. I think only once have they achieved more than double figures.
|
Some superb news today from MAN. Who'd have though MON's gaps would be filled, and then some, so quickly.
|
It would have been a no brainer. With its huge catchment area, and the loss on 9 based a/c, it was never a case of if, but when. Everyone has come at it, looking for an extra slice of the MAN(chester) pie and a great way to implement further growth in an existing base
|
Of course the main reason Monarch went down was over capacity leading to weak pricing in key markets. Roughly, what % of the additional capacity is a like for like replacement vs. something new?
|
And we were always told bad management was a main cause over a number of years as
it seamed to wobble each year. |
There are some big increases on existing routes with Ryanair now.
Friday’s in August for example see 4 flights to Alicante, Faro is 17 weekly and AGP now 14 weekly. |
I must admit I'm surprised at the lack of coverage of the FR expansion in the MEN. Even the Liverpool Echo gave it a decent wright up.
New summer routes as Ryanair unveils $300m Manchester Airport expansion Im sure it caught most people by surprise however. Perhaps there will be something in there tomorrow. |
Perhaps the MEN focused on this opinion piece from Andrew Cowan, with reference at the end to a team in China speaking to a number of airlines (plural). Good to see irons in the fire after the apparent wobble from HU.

What's the plan for terminal utilisation? T3 is going to be pretty un-fun during the first wave and for arrivals at the end of the day.
|
Speaking of Hainan they still only selling 4x weekly A333 in summer which is a big climb down from last summer if final. Or is there more to come ?
|
I believe its daily for 4 months - can't remember exactly. June /July to end September/October.
I suppose if new carriers enter the market it will cannibalise their loads, but it's been quiet on that front for some time (until recently). |
Some of the increases for Ryanair:
Palma- from 14 to 17 weekly (3 daily Tu/Th/Su) Alicante- From 15 to 19 weekly (4 daily Fri) Lisbon- from 5 to 6 weekly Ibiza- from 7 to 8 weekly Faro- from 14 to 17 weekly (3 daily Tu/Thu/Sun) Bologna- from 3 to 5 weekly Lanzarote- from 5 to 6 weekly Tenerife- from 8 to 9 weekly Gran Canaria- from 3 to 4 weekly Chania- from 2 to 3 weekly Seville- from 2 to 3 weekly Malaga- from 12 to 14 weekly Fuerteventura- 2 to 3 weekly Naples- from 3 to 4 weekly |
All they need now is pilots to fly them.........:hmm:
|
Ryanair seem very busy training crew up at present EI-SEV the B73G is spending most of its time trundling round East Midlands/Doncaster and Prestwick
